There are a lot of questions when it comes to Manifest season 3 at the moment. The series' future on NBC is still hanging up in the air, as the network hasn't yet officially renewed or canceled it. But despite the lack of renewal, many were certain it is coming back to deliver more episodes in the future.
There's a huge Manifest season 3 will be renewed, considering the huge cliffhanger in the season 2 finale. A lot of stories are needed to be explored and some mysteries that should be solved. As per CarterMatt, the renewal might be announced by the end of the month.
When it comes to the ratings, the series is reportedly one of the biggest midseason shows in terms of percentage gains in live+7 and live+35 figures. That means viewers are watching it live, but many stores up the episodes and watch them later on.
Moreover, the series is said to have a very high spot among other midseason programs when it comes to DVR. NBC might consider this factor and may decide to renew Manifest season 3. There is no real concern with its renewal, especially since it performs well on the network.
As for the potential release date, if ever renewed, nothing is also certain right now. NBC hasn't yet released its fall schedule, and even if the network does, it's unlikely that Manifest season 3 will be included. The series didn't release new episodes this past fall, which was before the health crisis.
The third installment may likely arrive in early 2021. However, that schedule can still be changed, considering the current global health crisis. If NBC renews it, cast and crew won't be able to start working immediately. Filming may resume as soon as the situation gets better.
Meanwhile, the season 2 finale left huge cliffhangers that should be addressed in the next installment. A new mystery surrounding Flight 828 unfolds, in which the plane not only existed in the land but also in the ocean. This is bizarre as the plane landed and exploded in the pilot episode.
It raises questions as to why the tail fin was found it the ocean, and whether the passengers are dead or alive. These are just some of the biggest mysteries worth-exploring in Manifest season 3. Perhaps, Ben, Michaela, and others may uncover more secrets and may find a way to beat their date dates.
