August 19th Update: Warner Bros TV. Making New Deals With Cast in Anticipation of Netflix Renewal
Encouraging news for Manifest fans: The missing-plane drama is inching closer to a deal for a new home two months after its cancellation by NBC. I hear producing studio Warner Bros TV is in the home stretch of complex negotiations with Netflix about a Season 4 order for the series, which has been topping the streamer’s viewership charts since June.
In anticipation of a pickup, WBTV has started negotiations with the cast and has been making “if-come” offers to writers — both writers who had worked on the show, created/executive produced by Jeff Rake, and new ones — for Season 4, sources said. NBCUniversal, which made a spirited effort to get the show back on NBC or Peacock, is no longer in the running, I hear. Reps for WBTV, Netflix and NBCU declined comment.

Original July 21st: NBC and Netflix in Talks with Warner Bros. TV for 4th Season Renewal
A month after the missing plane drama was axed by NBC after three seasons and Netflix opted not to pick it up, NBC is in conversations with Manifest studio Warner Bros. TV about a possible renewal, sources tell Deadline. In an intriguing twist, I hear Netflix also has resumed talks with Warner Bros. TV about a fourth season on the streamer and they have been picking up momentum.
