NBC has renewed freshman drama "Manifest" for a second season. The exact number of episodes is still TBD, but will likely be a shorter order, which has become customary for serialized series with dense mythology.

The first season consisted of 16 episodes.

"Manifest", from Jeff Rake and Warner Bros. TV, got off to a red-hot start with a big premiere, which averaged a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating in Live+7. Its ratings tapered off but, helped by potent DVR gains, they stabilized in the 2.2-2.4 range (18-49 L7) for the second half of its run.

For the entire first season, "Manifest" averaged a 2.8 L7 rating in adults 18-49 and 12.6 million viewers overall, making it the season’s #1 new scripted series in 18-49 and the overall #6 entertainment series.

The missing plane drama series has generated TV’s biggest viewership lift going from live+ same day to L+7, adding 6.1 million viewers through seven days of delayed viewing (6.5 million to 12.6 million).

Counting 35 days of linear and projected non-linear viewership, "Manifest" grows to a 4.86 rating in 18-49, nearly quadrupling its next-day L+SD 1.25 rating.

“In just its first season, Manifest has answered many questions about the mystery of Flight 828 and, smartly, asks many more,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment.

“Congratulations to Jeff Rake, our producers, cast and crew who have created an incredibly addictive series with compelling characters and complex relationships.”
