It’s very frustrating when top TV executives suddenly cancel a show that loyal viewers have grown accustomed to watching week in and week out, and sometimes their reasons for doing so are downright confusing. That, however, is not the case with NBC’s supernatural mystery Manifest, which was cancelled after its Season 3 finale. Ratings were steadily dropping over the show’s three seasons, so it makes sense why it was cancelled. Nevertheless, the show could possibly be thrown a lifeline from Netflix.

Netflix has a wide range of content for its subscribers covering a multitude of genres. It has found success with both original and acquired content. In fact, it has made a habit of successfully picking up cancelled television shows and extending their lifetimes. Shows like FOX’s Lucifer, ABC’s Designated Survivor, A&E’s Longmire and AMC’s The Killing have found a home on the streaming giant and have received multiple new seasons when there seemed to be no hope for them. So, it stands to reason that the same could happen for Manifest.

Manifest follows the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828 from Jamaica to New York. After some severe turbulence, they land safely, but something is not right because they have somehow jumped over five years into the future. During that time, they have all been presumed dead, but now they are back. On top of that, many of the passengers now experience “callings,” which are visions of the future. Naturally, nothing is the same after five years, so the passengers are forced to adapt to a changing world and their changed families. The show debuted on NBC in 2018 to a robust 18.4 million viewers and maintained an average of 12.61 viewers throughout its first season. However, Season 2 dropped to 7.7 million, and Season 3 looks to be around 5 million.

The decline in viewers probably explains why NBC cancelled the show, but Manifest has already started to find success elsewhere. Last Thursday, Netflix released Seasons 1 and 2 on its steaming service, where it quickly took over the top spot. Thus, it looks like there might be something to work with there.

Following the show’s cancellation, creator Jeff Rake took to Twitter and said, “I’m devastated by NBC’s decision to cancel us,” but he didn’t stop there. He also said that he is “hoping to find a new home” for the show. Originally, Rake had envisioned Manifest having six seasons, so he is naturally going to look for someone to pick up his project. That may be standard post-cancelation operating procedure, but with the show’s out-of-nowhere explosion of popularity on Netflix, he might just have some ground to stand on.

While Manifest might have been losing fans on NBC, it still has a solid following because #SaveManifest is No. 2 trending topic on Twitter. So, while everything is only in the speculation stage, it seems like Netflix could be the perfect new home for Manifest, which would surely appease the show’s fanbase.

Produced by Warner Bros. Television, Universal Television, Compari Entertainment and Jeff Rake Productions, Manifest stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J. R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor.
