'Manifest' cancelled: #SaveManifest trends as fans want Netflix to resurrect show

'Now would be a good time for @netflix to #SaveManifest!!! LETSSSS GOOOOO,' said a fan

The cast, crew and creators of the missing plane drama series 'Manifest' and its legions of fans were in for quite a disappointment when NBC, the network that airs 'Manifest', took the decision to cancel the show after three seasons. 'Manifest' now shares the same fate as other NBC shows such as 'Debris' and 'Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist' that have also been canceled. 

While the fate of these shows has been decided, the fate of another NBC show 'Good Girls' now hangs in the balance. The creator of 'Manifest' Jeff Rake has not hidden his disappointment, especially since the show was originally supposed to run for six seasons. Rake took to Twitter to share his disappointment saying, "I’m devastated by NBC’s decision to cancel us. That we’ve been shut down in the middle is a gut punch to say the least. Hoping to find a new home. You the fans deserve an ending to your story. Thanks for the love shown to me, cast, and crew. #savemanifest"

Enraged fans took to Twitter at what they felt was an extremely poor judgment call, especially considering the strong showing 'Manifest' has had on Netflix where it has been #1 in the US for the past three days. One fan tweeted, "You know how many folks asked how come they never heard of #Manifest before it got on @netflix.... that shit says a lot. Someone really dropped the ball on the ad side of things. Netflix #SaveManifest your top rated show right now!!!"

Others hoped that the cast and crew would get a chance to tell their story, their way. One fan tweeted, "#Manifest #SaveManifest – the cast and crew deserve better, they deserve to have their story told and end the way their story is supposed to end not right in the middle!" Fans were hoping that since the show is already going from strength to strength on Netflix, perhaps the show will find a new home with the streaming giant. One fan tweeted, " Now would be a good time for @netflix to #SaveManifest!!! LETSSSS GOOOOO #Manifest #ManifestNetflix"

Will the cast and crew of 'Manifest' be able to soar again when it comes to ratings or will #save manifest simply be a rescue mission that is unsuccessful.
