Manifest creator had a "a spectrum of emotions" going from cancelation and un-cancelation

Entertainment Weekly

"Oh my goodness," Jeff Rake tells EW in his first interview since Netflix ordered a fourth and final season. "It's such a combination of emotions, from gratitude to humility to shock and awe and incredible excitement. It's been a spectrum of emotions from June, when we got the bad news, to July, when we started sniffing the possibility of a future for us. Then there was a month of uncertainty where it looked like something might come together, but there were many hurdles to jump and so you manage your expectations. You're hoping for the best but don't want to go through a second round of disappointment. Thankfully I've had colleagues and family to accompany me along this journey, but the result is so incredible."
