‘Manifest’ premiere added more than 8 million viewers after seven days. Here are four reasons why
'Manifest' has done it again. After breaking a record by becoming the third highest watched show after first two episodes in all of broadcast and cable television, it has added more than eight million viewers for the premiere considering delayed viewing after seven days. Beating its own record of a total viewership of almost 16.1 million with the new addition, NBC's show now has a total of 18.4 million viewers.
The show's whopping increase in viewership has made the show the second highest to have a Live + 7 Days lift on record for any telecast on broadcast or cable, according to L+7 data from Nielsen Media Research. The show now only falls behind ABC's spinoff 'Roseanne', but the Live + 7 Days viewership of 18.4 million viewers has made it NBC's most-watched drama series premiere in almost 19 years since the 'Third Witch' which debuted with a massive viewership of 20.6 million in 1999.
