Manifest Season 2 Renewed? NBC Drama Takes Off With Six-Year Plan

NBC’s Manifest doesn’t expect its flight to be cancelled any time soon.

Showrunner Jeff Rake has a six-year plan for the mystery drama, while series star Josh Dallas super-optimistically suggests the show could last a decade, per Collider:

From the beginning, before I even signed on, I told Jeff that I didn’t want to know [where the show was going]. I didn’t want to know what the mystery was because I wanted to discover it along with Ben and the audience, as we go along. I’m a little ahead of you because we’re a few episodes ahead in the season, but I’m still discovering it, as I get each script, which is part of the fun. I don’t think it’s always necessary, but for this project and for me, in particular, I didn’t want to know anything. I’m gonna to get the WTF moments and the OMG moments along with all of you guys.

[..] there is some OMG moment that propels us forward. Another thing that I love about it is that it’s a story that’s constantly in motion. We’re constantly moving forward. Ben never goes back to where he began, at the beginning of an episode. It’s always moving forward. Every character moves forward and is changed, in some sort of way that keeps moving us forward to this eventual end, hopefully, six or 10 years from now.

How many seasons do you think Manifest will survive? Do you want Season 2 or should it be grounded after one, like so many shows before it?

Stay tuned as we continue to track the cancel/renew status of Manifest…
