7 Shows Like Manifest to Watch Now That It’s Been Canceled for Good

NBC’s sci-fi drama Manifest may be on top of Netflix’s Top 10 lists for over a week as of this writing, but somehow that wasn’t enough to convince the streamer to save it from cancellation, as Netflix had with other shows like Lucifer and Designated Survivor.

If you’re only just now getting into Manifest because you discovered it on Netflix and you’ve burned through all the Season 1 and Season 2, then you’re probably wondering where you can stream Season 3, or when it will be on Netflix.

But if you’ve managed to watch all of Season 3, then you’re going to need something like Manifest to watch next.

The 2004 show literally changed television forever, telling the story of passengers on board a doomed flight who get stranded on a mysterious island after their plane crashes.

There are still a bajillion mysteries to unpack in Manifest, but we do know that the show is doing something funny with death and possibly time travel, making the Canadian sci-fi series Travelers an easy recommendation for anyone looking for more Manifest vibes.

It’s still early on in the series’ life to say whether it will be good or not, but part of the fun of these shows is being the first to find out as each new episode premieres.

If Manifest dipping its toes into the metaphysical — what is death, man? — is what has you addicted, then strap on the tinfoil hat and dive brain-first into Netflix’s extremely odd and compelling series The OA.

That’s bad news for everyone, but not so bad for people on a commercial airliner taking a redeye from Belgium that gets highjacked by someone who knows what’s up and comes up with the master plan to continually fly east — away from the sun and burny death — for as long as possible.

One of my favorite seasons of TV of all time, the first season of The Returned is set in a small French town that sees the dead return — fully fleshed, none of that decaying zombie stuff — with no idea how they got there or what happened.

A cult classic, the series answered questions about what was happening while adding new questions on top of new answers, but grew beyond its initial mystery and was canceled before it could resolve its Season 4 cliffhanger.
