Impatience for Manifest’s fate continues to persist amongst station viewers, but contrary to rumors, Red and his team will return with new episodes in the 2019/2020 season, with NBC representatives confirming the renewal of the title – the announcement comes as a result of the renegotiation of the distribution contracts, the contract agreements signed initially for six seasons being prolonged for another year.

Gradually forming a community of fans loyal to the title, even in spite of the rating drop caused largely by constantly moving into the grid, The Blacklist continues to be a stable project for NBC, currently recording an average of 7.3 million viewers , acceptable figures for Friday evening.
