7 shows like ‘Manifesto’ +2023

after the big one #SaveManifest 2021 campaign, fans were upset over the cancellation of the NBC drama after learning that Netflix not only saved the show, but gave it the green light manifest Season 4. After catching up on the first three full seasons of manifest (plus the first half of season 4; we’ll have to wait until 2023 for that manifest Season 4 part 2) we have a few recommendations for you. Get ready for more mysterious shows like manifest flight on your watch list.

manifest follows the passengers of a flight that takes off, goes through turbulence and lands five years into the future. The passengers were reported missing and somehow defied all the laws of space and gravity during their seemingly easy journey by air. The show just made its Netflix debut and quickly topped the daily charts for the streamer’s most popular shows and movies. Could that mean Netflix could save the show? If not, we have a few similar shows to recommend.

Here are seven TV series like manifest to watch on Netflix, HBO Max and more:
