Fans of Manifest have been rejoicing in the success of their efforts in having the series picked up for a 4th season on Netflix after NBC cancelled it last spring,have more to celebrate after it was revealed that Matt Long will be returning as a series regular for the coming final season reports Digital Spy.

This is of particular relief as Long,who portrays the character of Zeke, was expected to be a regular in the anticipated  NBC pilot series Getaway,but the network decided to pass on that which in turn freed up Long’s character. Zeke has been an integral part of the show for now as one of the character’s who beat the death date by saving Cal and for his marriage with Michaela. At the end of the previous season, it became clear to Zeke that Michaela and her her former lover and NYPD colleague Jared Vasquez still harbors feelings for one another .The two were going talk especially after Zeke realized that while Michaela wedded him, that was before his death date and she did not expect for him to survive.

Indeed Manifest creator,Jeff Rake,has commented on the effect of Long’s return stating that it will allow “Zeke to complete his Manifest journey as originally intended”. The final season of Manifest will be an extended one with 20 episodes and production for it is already underway.Stay tuned for more details on the forthcoming season right here.
