For the first time ever and on the set of Manifest Season 4, Melissa Roxburgh climbed into the director’s chair — something that would not have been possible if it weren’t for the show’s passionate fanbase.

“Thank you for supporting our show,” said Roxburgh to Manifest’s fans, adorably known as the Manifesters. 

Due in part to their strong viewership and #SaveManifest campaign, the series was greenlit by Netflix for its fourth and final season. And now, the Manifesters will finally learn the mysterious fates of Flight 828’s passengers.

“[It] just goes to show that their voice is meaningful and what they put out on Twitter and socials does make a difference,” said Roxburgh, who plays Michaela Stone. “Thank you guys for supporting us and making that happen.”

In the above video, Roxburgh not only answers burning questions about the final season but also shares her experience directing Episode 18 of Season 4, which according to Roxburgh, represents an emotional endpoint for the passengers.

“We get to witness some high highs and some really low lows,” she added.

All four seasons of Manifest are currently available to stream.  Prepare for takeoff.
