The time of 12 months to have a good time a supernatural drama with one of many wildest rides in TV historical past is right here: Pleased 828 Day, Manifest followers! The sequence that started off on NBC, was cancelled, after which renewed for Season 4 for anyone with a Netflix subscription did finally come to an finish, however that does not imply all people has given up on returning to that world that was turned the other way up by the disappearance (and reappearance) of Flight 828. Creator Jeff Rake continued his custom of updating followers on spinoff possibilities on every August 28, and his message this time is equal elements intriguing and thrilling.
It has been one 12 months since Jeff Rake posted that though there was “no inexperienced mild but,” he and his companions had been “working nonstop to carry you the spinoff you deserve.” Whereas a by-product nonetheless hasn’t gotten off the bottom by 828 Day 2025, his Instagram publish is encouraging. Have a look:
I am unable to blame any followers who hope for one of the best sort of information every year on August 28. Not solely does Jeff Rake take care to supply updates on the date, however Netflix additionally renewed Manifest for Season 4 on 828 Day 2021. Good issues typically occur for Manifest followers on this explicit day!
It does sound like a by-product – whether or not it will carry Melissa Roxburgh over from The Looking Social gathering to play Michaela once more or middle on a complete new forged of characters – is probably going a methods off, if it does occur. Nonetheless, it put a smile on my face to see unique sequence forged members Jared Grimes and Garrett Wareing commenting on Rake’s publish.
Grimes appeared as Adrian in nineteen episodes all 4 seasons of Manifest, whereas Wareing performed TJ Morrison in eighteen episodes of Season 2 and Season 4. They commented:
Various followers chimed in with their ideas as properly, proving that Jeff Rake is not the one one prepared and prepared to have a good time 828 Day and Manifest every year. Over on X (previously often called Twitter), these are simply among the supportive messages the creator received in response to his publish (edited for content material and readability):
- @nickjismymuse: “Yearly reminder of excellent luck with spinoff [of] Manifest.”
- @828ride_or_die: “Assist of execs and producers sounds promising! We’ll be right here ready, all the time!”
- @Gehan_51100: “Pleased 828 Day, expensive Fellow Manifesters”
- @melacholiaaa: “Superb present. Superb casting. Superb producers. Thanks.”
- @Manifest_Italy: “Pleased 828 Day, Jeff. At all times conserving religion.”
For many exhibits, I’d have a tough time conserving “the religion” for a by-product greater than two years after it ended for the second time, however Manifest beat the percentages many instances through the years. Most sequence could be over and carried out with after being cancelled by their house community, however NBC giving the drama the axe was solely the start of the subsequent chapter.
The primary two seasons of the present shortly hit Netflix’s Prime 10 again in July 2021, and the arrival of Season 3 on the streamer later that 12 months knocked Manifest again up into the Prime 10 once more. The streaming success in the end resulted in a renewal for Season 4.
Will Jeff Rake have extra to say for 828 Day 2026? Rather a lot can occur in a 12 months, and I hesitate to foretell something with certainty for a present that needed to be cancelled twice to actually appear to finish for good. For now, followers can all the time revisit the 4 seasons of the unique present streaming on Netflix, and provide you with concepts for what they’d prefer to see in a possible spinoff.
