Manifest Season 4 is coming. It's been a while since we last saw the Stone family and rest of the passengers on Flight 828. But the fourth and final installment of the thriller drama premieres this week on Netflix — after the streaming service picked up the show following its cancellation from NBC. Season 3 ended with the terrible death of one of the Stones, and there are still so many mysteries about the Callings left to uncover. Manifesters are in for another wild ride as the passengers' Death Date approaches. 

What will Manifest Season 4 be about? Which Manifest cast members are returning? Will we finally understand what's going on? Here's everything we know about Manifest Season 4.

Latest news

At New York Comic Con, showrunner Jeff Rake and the cast of Manifest Season 4 teased what's next for the characters. "He's in a really dark, complicated place at the beginning of Season 4," Josh Dallas said of Ben Stone. "He's sort of stuck in this grief pit." This emotional state makes sense considering that Netflix has previously said that in Season 4, "the Stone family is in shambles as a devastated Ben continues to mourn his wife and search for his kidnapped daughter, Eden." Dallas continued: "His family is still there, his sister is still there. But he can't really connect with them so he pushes them away." Melissa Roxburgh, who plays Michaela Stone, said that of all the seasons filmed so far, Season 4 is "the saddest" one. "The relationships are really, really, really sad," Roxburgh said.

The cast also talked about the love triangle between Roxburgh's Michaela Stone, J.R. Ramirez's Jared Vasquez, and Matt Long's Zeke Landon. "That is not gone and that plays all throughout the season, so don't you worry," Roxburgh teased. The love triangle "definitely hasn't been settled," Long told TV Guide ahead of Season 4's premiere. "It's one of the things that people love to watch about the show, so we got to keep that going." 

Ramirez added that he thinks Rake and the writers have created great tension between the three characters. "This season you really get to see a sense of reflection between the three — specifically between Jared and Zeke," Ramirez said. "Where at the end of the day you see these two humans who are really good, they're good men who have just fallen in love with the same woman and obviously only one person can win." Both Jared and Zeke just want Michaela to be happy, Ramirez added.

Manifest Season 4 release date

Netflix will release Manifest Season 4 on Nov. 4, 2022. 

Season 4 will be released in two parts, containing 10 episodes each. No release date has been announced for Part 2, and we can't accurately predict when Part 2 will be released at this point. Looking at trends, Netflix released Stranger Things Season 4 in two parts, about a month apart from each other. But Netflix also released Lucifer Season 5 in two parts, eight months apart. And we're still waiting on a third part of Lupin, more than a year after Part 2 was released in June 2021. With that in mind, Part 2 could come out sometime between December 2022 to January 2046.

Manifest Season 4 trailers and footage

The full trailer for Manifest Season 4 dropped during Netflix's TUDUM event on Saturday, Sept. 24. The trailer not only reunited fans with the survivors of Flight 828, but also gave several big hints about where the show is going in its final season. The survivors are in a race against the clock to figure out what their purpose is before their Death Date arrives in 18 months and before they can be hunted down by a mysterious killer. Can they figure out what that storm really did to them and why they were chosen for this mysterious path?

At Netflix's Geeked Week, the streamer released a sneak preview of Season 4. In the scene, Michaela Stone snoops around a shipping yard in search of something. What she finds, though, is something she wasn't expecting. (And kind of gross, too.)

What will Manifest Season 4 be about?

Here it is, straight from the mouth of Netflix:

"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." 

Who will be in Manifest Season 4?

Given that Manifest was canceled and then picked up by Netflix, time has passed in the story, and characters have died, the cast for Season 4 will be a mix of familiar and missing faces. Most of the main cast — including Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, and J.R. Ramirez — will return. Athena Karkanis, whose character Grace Stone died in Season 3, will not be back. And Jack Messina, who played young Cal Stone, will be replaced by an older actor, Ty Doran, because of the two-year time jump.
