Manifest Star Celebrates Return to Work for Season 4 Saved by Netflix: ‘You Can Feel the Appreciation’
Manifest is apparently now boarding cast members, as production ramps on on the season that almost didn’t happen.
J.R. Ramirez — who since Day 1 has played lawman Jared Vazquez on the supernatural/family drama — shared on Instagram a photo of him reporting for work on the fourth (and final) season that Netflix officially “saved” back in August, months after NBC unceremoniously cancelled the series.
“Walking through the stages this am… Just felt different,” Ramirez wrote alongside a photo of him at his dressing room door. “I’ve been working in this business for almost two decades now and I know to land a team of Cast n Crew that is as Collaborative, Dedicated and in my opinion (Most Importantly) “Ego Checked” as these Beautifully Talented Humans are… well it RARELY happens.
“It’s only day one and you can already feel the Level of Appreciation this group has for the Magical Ride that is Manifest!” he continued. “But let’s keep it real… The reality is ALL of This Magic is happening because of YOU guys! You guys made this happen! We Love You. Can’t wait for you to see how it all comes together…”
Manifest’s fourth and final season will span 20 episodes, to be split into parts to be determined. Who’s returning, and who isn’t? We have the latest updates right here.
Throughout its “limbo” stage, Manifest stayed airborne in the pop culture conversation — by ascending and topping the Nielsen streaming charts, and also by claiming the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s popularity poll for a near-record 27 straight days. It was after the latter feat that rumblings grew louder that a beyond-last-minute save was in the works.
“Since its premiere on Netflix in June, Manifest has proven very popular with our members,” Bela Bajaria, Netflix Head of Global TV, said at the time of its “rescue.” “[Series creator] Jeff Rake and his team have crafted a beguiling mystery that has viewers around the world on the edge of their seats and believing again in second chances, and we’re thrilled that they will bring fans some closure with this final, super-sized season.”

I’m can’t wait for this to be back on my TV screen with new episodes. I really like him too. So glad he’s back.
Yay, I’m excited to see this back, soon. #TeamJared ;)
Any word if Matt Long will be back as Zeke? His fate was TBD in your Sept. 9 article.

Oh yeah; I’m ready for takeoff.
June can’t come fast enough. Yeah!
started watching MANIFEST, and WOW i could not leave it alone. Now i cannot wait until season four is available. I am beyond thankful to Netflix for bringing this deep, intelligent and mind boggling show. The characters are unbelievable in their roles, the writers and directors of Manifest are beyond amazing in content, in absolute imagination, and bringing this show to life and beyond. I am telling everyone i know about Manifest. I only wish, Grace would somehow be revived, as she is such an integral part of this outstanding show, and such a good person. She would deserve to have her life back. Anyway, thank you NETFLIX for reviving a show worthy of your efforts. We, the fans, are beyond thrilled to have season four coming, and yes, sitting on the very edge of our seats waiting.
Yasss!! Ive been waiting too long for this show to come back. Its obsessive! Thank u! Thank u for coming back. But is it possible to come back for more than 4 season? This has been the best super unique, actioned packed, adventurous, funny, mysterious, sci-fi, dramatic, puzzling, great story, all in one bundle of one of a kind of show to watch. Im wondering if since its such a good popular show now, is it possible to create more than 4 seasons? Im a very picky person when it comes to choosing a show to watch, but this show’s uniqueness and art was what drew me to watch. I love it! Iv been keeping track of when its coming back. So thank u for the update on the news!
