Manifest has had a wild ride. The supernatural drama aired on NBC for three seasons before being cancelled last summer. For a minute it seemed entirely doomed—and then Netflix (where the series had proved very popular) picked it up for a fourth and final season. The streamer announced that the fourth season would have twenty episodes (more than it ever got in a single NBC season), but it wasn’t known until now how those episodes would be released.
Now, Nextflix has announced a November 4th premiere date for “Part 1” of the final season. Each part will have ten episodes.
Manifest follows the passengers of an airline flight who experience strange turbulence on their way home to New York City. When they land, they discover that five and a half years have passed, and they’ve been long since presumed dead. But what’s more, the lost passengers and crew begin to experience visions of the future, known as “callings.”

Netflix’s synopsis for the fourth season—which is full of spoilers if you’re not caught up!—reads:
Two years after the brutal murder of Grace turned their lives upside down, the Stone family is in shambles as a devastated Ben continues to mourn his wife and search for his kidnapped daughter, Eden. Consumed by his grief, Ben has stepped down from his role as co-captain of the lifeboat, leaving Michaela to captain it alone, a near impossible feat with the passengers’ every move now being monitored by a government registry. As the Death Date draws closer and the passengers grow desperate for a path to survival, a mysterious passenger arrives with a package for Cal that changes everything they know about Flight 828 and will prove to be the key to unlocking the secret of the Callings in this compelling, mind-bending, and deeply emotional journey.
Manifest is created by Jeff Rake (The Mysteries of Laura), and stars Josh Dallas (Once Upon a Time), Melissa Roxburgh (Star Trek: Beyond), Athena Karkanis (The Expanse), and J.R. Ramirez (Jessica Jones). New episodes premiere on Netflix on November 4th.
