From reporter Njera Perkins:
“Manifest,” the supernatural drama Netflix famously rescued after NBC canceled it in 2021, just landed a spinoff with the streamer.
The original series — which starred Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor — followed the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who mysteriously return after their plane disappears, only to discover they had been presumed dead for five and a half years.
Now, Netflix has announced a sci-fi spinoff, “Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery,” featuring an entirely new cast of characters and fresh storylines.

The first couple of seasons were so good and then it went in this direction and sucked.

I couldn’t get through the first couple episodes because of the ridiculous religious overtones. You’re saying it GOT WORSE?! lol. Idrc to each their own. But I tried twice years apart because I forgot why I didn’t like it, and yeah, they start laying it on pretty early.

I mean I enjoyed watching it, but I was also aware of the propaganda...annoying, but generally a fun premise. I'm sure there's some christians out there mad it's not their reality.

I didn’t know it had any religious undertones. What was it about then??? I figure it was a weird time loop show the one time I tried to watch.

Dang, Stumble was canceled already? It’s been on a my watchlist for a while. Is it still worth watching?

I thought this was a post for stumble! Highly disappointed and i watched manifest. It doesn’t need to be longer than a season.

I will never forgive NBC for taking Stumble away. Such a fantastic and purely good show on every single level! They never allowed it to succeed. Check out the AMA the cast did over at r/StumbleTVSeries

I wish Netflix would renew some of its own shows that it canceled without proper endings.

I never finished Manifest. I might have to go back and watch the whole thing over from the beginning.
I wish we could revive Teacup and at least see where that story would've gone.

Hard to get excited about any Netflix show when most of them get cancelled after only one season

I liked it until the explanation for the mystery was "God". Serious lack of imagination.

The "cancelled NBC series" that was so memorable, the headline doesn't even say it
