'Manifest': Jeff Rake's drama breaks ratings record for NBC

With 'Manifest', NBC may have found the perfect weapon to hit back at ABC whose shows 'Roseanne' and 'How to Get Away With Murder' still remain the highest viewed
UPDATED OCT 3, 2018

Following the second episode of NBC's 'Manifest', especially with an ending which surely none of us could have fathomed, it can easily be said that the show is off for a good season. Hopefully, the show will be able to keep its audience glued to their screens. 'Manifest' broke all records for NBC after it became the third highest watched show (after its first two episodes) from both Live + Same Day and Live + 3 Day viewership in all of broadcast and cable television.

While NBC has been suffering a decline in its ratings over several years, 'Manifest' has become the show which seems to have brought the channel back to its days of glory. The show rightfully has its reasons to boast about the ratings since, within two days after the first episode which premiered on September 24, it had set new records for the channel adding +1.28 of a rating point in adults 18-49 and +4.9 million viewers overall. Following the second episode which aired on October 2, the show has added a whopping 5.7 million viewers to its credit, after three days of playback.
