No, Manifest season 4 part 2 isn’t coming in April 2023 (Here’s why)
By Cody Schultz
My fellow Manifesters, it seems the wait for Manifest season 4 part 2 is going to be a bit longer than many had anticipated.
On March 22, Netflix unveiled the complete list of titles set to release across the month of April. The month is set to bring with it new seasons of several series including Firefly Lane, Beef, Sweet Tooth, The Diplomat, Welcome to Eden, and more. Sadly, one title that was nowhere to be found on the April release list was Manifest, which will not be returning for its final episodes in April — news that is likely to surprise many fans.
Manifest season 4 part 2 release date rumors explained
Following the release of Manifest season 4 part 1 on Nov. 4, 2022, many fans began predicting that part 2 would arrive on Friday, April 7, 2023, for good reason.
Nov. 4 is the day Flight 828 returned after going missing for five years. With Netflix opting to release the first part of the show’s final season on a date that holds such significance to the show, fans jumped to the reasonable assumption it could take a similar approach with the release date for part 2.
In the show, April 7 is the date Flight 828 first goes missing. Because April 7 falls on a Friday in 2023, many fans believed Netlfix might release the second part of the show’s final season in early April as a nod to the key date in the show. However, this was never confirmed by Netflix or anyone connected to the show and has now proven to be nothing more than a rumor.
Manifest season 4 part 2 release date updates
Earlier this year, Manifest creator and showrunner Jeff Rake confirmed that season 4 part 2 would be coming in Spring 2023. We now know that Netflix will not be releasing the final batch of episodes in April as the April 7 release rumor was debunked by the April release calendar. This means the new season should arrive sometime in May or June 2023.
While there is no telling whether Netflix will look to release part 2 on a date that holds significance to the show as it did with part 1, there is a fan theory that suggests the final episodes could arrive on June 2, 2023. June 2 is, of course, the Death Date in the show’s mythology and happens to fall on a Friday this year which is why many fans are questioning whether part 2 might arrive in early June.
A June release date for the show would make sense for Netflix as the streaming service has not yet lined up any major releases for June, whereas May is shaping up to be quite a busy month already. This would give Netflix a buzzy title to kick off the final month of the quarter and to close out its spring slate.
Interestingly, on the same day Netflix released its April slate, Manifest star Luna Blaise seemed to hint that news will be coming soon for Manifest fans. Could it be that Netflix will be announcing the show’s return on April 7? It’s definitely a possibility given how Netflix has used the show’s key dates thus far — let’s not forget it also dropped major news on August 28 in the past as a nod to Flight 828.

If Netflix were to announce the season 4 part 2 release date on April 7, an early June release date could definitely be in the cards so we’ll be sure to keep an eye out for additional updates!
