Manifest is an American supernatural drama television series created by Jeff Rake that premiered on September 24, 2018, on NBC. It centers on the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for five and a half years. It stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J. R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long, Holly Taylor, Daryl Edwards, and Ty Doran.

In October 2018, NBC ordered further episodes for the first season and subsequently renewed the series for a second season that aired in 2020, and again for a third in 2021. In June 2021, the series was canceled by NBC after three seasons. The series was added to Netflix shortly before it was canceled and immediately topped the viewing charts, persuading Netflix to renew Manifest for a fourth and final season consisting of twenty episodes, with part one premiering on November 4, 2022, and part two set to premiere on June 2, 2023.

Plot

While traveling from Jamaica to New York City, Montego Air Flight 828 experiences a brief period of severe turbulence. When they land at Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, New York, the plane's 191 passengers and crew learn from NSA deputy director Robert Vance that over five and a half years have passed while they were in the air, during which time they were presumed dead. As they rejoin society, the passengers begin to face the fact that their lives—and loved ones—are not the same as they were, while they also begin to experience guiding voices and visions representing events yet to occur, referred to as 'callings.'

While getting supplies for Zeke, Michaela learns about Chloe, Zeke's younger sister, who had died earlier in the same area. Jared ultimately connects the Stone's broken window to Cody Webber, who runs a conspiracy website that trash-talks the Flight 828 passengers.

If he retaliates against Cody again, neither he nor Michaela can help him. Michaela and Zeke follow a calling to Chloe's memorial, where they build a cairn to pay their respects.

Saanvi's latest experiment on the ancient wood causes a rare earthquake to hit New York. When Saanvi sees TV news coverage of a fissure in a road with lava underneath, right at the epicenter of the quake, she's convinced that Mount Ararat has come to New York to reclaim the piece of Noah's Ark. She and Troy engineer a ruse in the next experiment to cause an explosion that leaves only a pile of dust, when in reality they have removed the wood from the building. Ben goes to see 828 passenger Astrid, whose photo was in flames during his and Cal's calling. Astrid has received a calling of a boy in danger, who turns out to be the son of known anti-828er Cody Webber whom Ben encountered before and has since received a restraining order not to go within certain feet of him. Ben assaults Webber again when he won't reveal where he's hidden his son. Michaela and Jared break up the conflict as Michaela and Astrid are able to rescue the child from earthquake debris. Jared says he has to arrest Ben for the assault, and Michaela reluctantly agrees. At Stone's home, an incident during the earthquake has Angelina believing that Eden is her guardian angel. Cal agrees that he, Angelina, and Eden all have a connection. However, when Angelina puts her theory to the test, she starts a fire that forces Grace to evict her much to Cal's objection. At the site of the road fissure, Troy and Cooper cause a distraction, allowing Saanvi to toss the ancient wood into the lava. The lava disappears and the pavement returns. Immediately, Cal gets another Calling.

Cal is hiding Angelina in his room when she becomes convinced that God wants her to be an Aaron to Cal's Moses. Ben has his arraignment and expects to plead guilty and present the extenuating circumstances of what happened with Cody Webber, but he draws an anti-828 judge and pleads not guilty. The judge sets an enormous bail and has Ben placed on house arrest, forcing Grace to retrieve her restaurant deposit and mortgage the house to pay the bond. Ben and Michaela learn that government agencies in the U.S. and around the world are tightening the reins on 828 passengers. This comes to a head when it's learned that a passenger was just executed in Singapore. Ben, Michaela, Cal, and several other 828-ers have callings of being on fire. Michaela believes it's partly because Saanvi hasn't yet turned herself in, which puts her at odds with Ben on the decision to arrest her. Saanvi makes a stop at Project Eureka before seeing Michaela. After confessing to Vance about the driftwood, she sees they are now experimenting on the tailfin, which she believes will cause an even greater catastrophe. When Saanvi makes it to the police station, Michaela turns in her badge and whisks her away upon hearing the latest development from Bowers. Ben is released from jail and is talking with Vance when an apprehended Eagan sees him and explodes with rage. It's revealed that the NYPD has also arrested Adrian, who had been underground since the club fire. At Angelina's urging, Cal shows up at the gates of Project Eureka asking to see the tailfin.

Saanvi keeps Cal under treatment while Ben and Grace beg Dr. Gupta to stop the testing. Ben wants to destroy the tailfin but gets a calling revealing that he needs to return it to the ocean. Vance tries to intervene, but Gupta gets authorization to continue testing from headquarters. Cal tells them that Gupta needs to see in order to believe. He touches the tailfin and disappears. Meanwhile, Michaela gets a shared calling with Bethany, Eagan, and Adrian where Flight 828 is bleeding blood everywhere and concludes that it is a warning about someone dying. She asks them for help to solve the calling before someone dies but Eagan and Adrian refuse to help.

Recognizing a constellation in the drawings as a sign from her late grandmother, Dr. Gupta allows them to take the tailfin into a dark lightning storm.

In a flashback, Ben and the others attend Grace’s funeral. In the present day, Kim recovers and tells of being experimented on for over two years. Only he is able to hear multiple layers of voices in the recording, when others only hear static. A fleeing Angelina dyes and cuts her and Eden’s hair to hide their identities. She seeks refuge with a woman who then locks her in a room. At a new police division office, called "the registry," passengers from 828 have to regularly check in. Adrian gets a calling of the house Angelina is trapped in. He finds them and reluctantly helps them escape. Still appalled by Angelina's actions, Adrian nonetheless agrees to shelter her and Eden at his compound. Saanvi visits Ben and tells him of the Black Box. He shows no interest—having lost all faith in the callings. Ben tracks down a lead and is led back to Anna Ross’s house. Anna confesses that she had sheltered Angelina and Eden, convinced by Angelina that Ben was evil, but knows now she'd been lied to. While there, Ben sees Eden's drawings and realizes they shared a calling. Meanwhile, Saanvi, listening to the tape, manages to modulate the frequency and is able to hear all the callings that Ben, Michaela, Cal, Saanvi, and Zeke have ever had.

At Adrian's compound, Eden experiences a Calling, which is then discovered to be shared with Ben. Angelina tests her connection with Eden by trying to draw the same picture and fails. Reinvigorated by the knowledge that his daughter is alive, Ben is helped by Jared and Drea in following Angelina's tracks. Once home, he is able to see in real time Eden's drawings which Olive deciphers as the Treasure Hunt nursery rhyme she taught her. Michaela and Cal have a Calling of thunder and lightning. Michaela discovers that the thunder Calling is shared by Amuta, the 828 co-pilot. Initially reluctant to follow it, he admits to knowing what happened during the six seconds in which all Callings were recorded in the black box: a "long, delirious, burning blue" that the plane went through and left a sense of peace that only he, Captain Daly, and Cal could see and feel. Hearing this, Cal - now marked with the same dragon scar as Henry Kim - finally remembers being back on the plane with Captain Daly and Fiona right after he touched the tailfin and disappeared, and sheds light on Daly's reappearance when he tries to stop Cal from going back. Concerned with the well-being of the other resident passengers, Adrian asks Eagan for advice and reveals Angelina and Eden's whereabouts. Relentlessly bullied in prison, Eagan sees an opportunity to make a deal with Ben.

With Zeke and Drea's help, they reach Kyle's mom in a New York hospital and take her back to the Hopi Reservation for her final days, freeing Kyle from his guilt. He leaves a quilt as a gift for Michaela. The star embroidered on it turns out to be the last clue for Cal and Olive to finally understand where Cal and the whole Flight 828 was for 5 and a half years - inside the "divine consciousness". In the meantime, Vance uses all leverage he has left to help Ben free Eagan and obtain the location of Eden's whereabouts: Adrian's compound. However, Ben has an ominous Calling about this. After sending Vance and his right hand Powell on a false track to protect them, Ben reaches the compound and is knocked out. Meanwhile, Jared and Drea connect a suspicious purchase of fertilizer rich in ammonia, potentially used in bomb-making, to Erika, one of the residents of the compound.

Michaela and Eden share a Calling of a bee which takes Eden to the room of the compound where Ben is being locked and bound with duct tape, but Angelina takes her away and tells her to not trust anyone. Erika shows Angelina one of the bombs she has created with the fertilizer and disseminated in each room, ready to go off in case of a police raid. Jared and Michaela separately figure out that Ben is kept prisoner at the compound, and they go there with Zeke. Jared enters the greenhouse and discovers one of the bombs, then informs the others. Ben manages to seed doubt in Donovan, one of the residents, who then confronts Adrian about the kidnapping of Ben and the harboring of Angelina. Adrian says he will get rid of Angelina, who - troubled by painful memories and a Calling of falling ashes - overhears the quarrel and decides to come out to the other residents and menaces to detonate the bombs as "trial by fire" for all of them. At Vance's research facility, Saanvi and Troy experiment on UL Frequencies. When joined by Cal and Olive, they put Cal in the fMRI while he has a calling of Ben and Eden in trouble, finding that Callings are memories of the time spent in the "divine consciousness", after which he runs off with Vance and Powell to Ben's rescue. Donovan tries to free Ben, but is knocked out by Erika. Guided by his Calling, Cal enters the house and confronts Angelina alone, paving the way for the others to rescue the residents, then shooing Ben and Eden away from danger. Angelina triggers the bombs and the compound explodes. Cal is miraculously alive and reconciles with Ben. Zeke, whose empathy powers are out of control because of his worries, perceives Erika's rage and shoots her with Jared's gun to save Michaela. At home, Cal coughs blood. Still tormented by the ash Calling, Adrian drives away after rescuing a wounded Angelina on the road.

Production

Development

On August 23, 2017, NBC gave the production a put pilot commitment. The pilot was written by Jeff Rake, who was also set to serve as executive producer alongside Robert Zemeckis and Jack Rapke. Jackie Levine was expected to serve as a co-executive producer. Production companies involved with the pilot were slated to consist of Compari Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television. In January 2018, NBC gave the production a pilot order and that David Frankel would direct and executive produce the pilot. In May 2018, NBC gave the production a series order of thirteen episodes with a premiere in third quarter of 2018 and a Monday timeslot at 10 p.m. On June 19, 2018, the series premiere was set for September 24, 2018. On October 18, 2018, NBC ordered an additional three episodes of the series, bringing the total up to sixteen episodes.

On April 15, 2019, NBC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on January 6, 2020. On June 15, 2020, NBC renewed the series for a third season which premiered on April 1, 2021.

Casting

Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh and Jeff Rake at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2018

In February 2018, Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh, and J. R. Ramirez joined the pilot's main cast. Athena Karkanis, Parveen Kaur, and Luna Blaise were cast in main roles the following month. In August 2019, Yasha Jackson, Garrett Wareing, Andrene Ward-Hammond, and Ellen Tamaki were cast in recurring roles for the second season. In October 2019, Leah Gibson and Carl Lundstedt had been cast in recurring capacities. On September 22, 2020, Holly Taylor was cast a new series regular for the third season. On October 22, 2020, Will Peltz was cast in a recurring role for the third season.

Cancellation and revival

On June 14, 2021, NBC canceled the series after three seasons. Due to the cliffhanger ending of the third season and the fact that creator Jeff Rake originally sold Manifest to NBC with a six-season plan mapped out, Rake and others were hopeful that the series would get picked up by another platform. One possibility was Netflix, where the first two seasons of Manifest debuted in the #3 spot and quickly rose to the most watched show on the streaming service. Rake tweeted on June 15: "I am devastated by NBC's decision to cancel us. That we've been shut down in the middle is a gut punch to say the least. Hoping to find a new home. You fans deserve an ending to your story." On June 21, 2021, Warner announced that negotiations with Netflix had broken down and that they would no longer be seeking a new home for the series. The following week, Rake followed-up on the status quo regarding the series' proper conclusion, stating that: "We're trying to find a way to conclude the series. Could take a week, a month, a year. But we're not giving up. You deserve an end to the story."

On June 30, 2021, Entertainment Weekly reported that Rake was now looking for a platform that would bankroll a two-hour Manifest film that would cut to the chase and tie up all the loose ends from the third-season finale. Said Rake, "There is a huge appetite for people wanting to know what's that end of the story, what happened to the passengers, what ultimately happened to that airplane."

The following month, however, it was reported that talks had resumed between Warner Bros. Television and NBC regarding the series' renewal for a potential fourth season, with Netflix also taking part in the renewal discussions. On August 28, 2021, Netflix renewed Manifest for a fourth and final season, consisting of 20 episodes, split across multiple parts. Dallas and Roxburgh were set to return, with additional original cast members in negotiations to return as well. On September 9, 2021, it reported that Kaur, Blaise, Taylor return as series regulars alongside Dallas, Roxburgh, and Ramirez while Karkanis and Messina exited and Ty Doran was promoted to series regular taking over Messina's role as the older Cal. A day later, it was announced that Daryl Edwards has been promoted to series regular. Matt Long, who was initially feared not able to return for the fourth season due to scheduling conflicts, was also later confirmed to be joining the cast for the fourth season. The first part of the fourth season premiered on November 4, 2022. The second part of the fourth season is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2023.

Release

On July 21, 2018, the series held a panel at San Diego Comic-Con in San Diego, California. Those in attendance included executive producer Jeff Rake and actors Melissa Roxburgh and Josh Dallas. On August 28, 2018, the first nine minutes of the first episode were released among various digital outlets. The series also took part in the 12th Annual PaleyFest Fall Television Previews on September 10, 2018, which featured a preview screening of the series.

Reception

Critical response

The series was met with a mixed response from critics upon its premiere. On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 56% with an average rating of 6.2/10, based on 39 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Manifest's attempts to balance supernatural mystery and melodrama largely work thanks to its well-chosen cast — though it could use a few more distinguishing characteristics." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 55 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

In a more positive assessment, USA Today's Kelly Lawler explained how she felt that the series' simplicity and variety of drama subgenres might help it outlast similarly themed but ultimately unsuccessful past shows. She further praised the series for maintaining the standard of quality it set with its premiere episode saying, "Heavily serialized shows, such as Lost, Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones often start with a great concept and first episode. But many lesser shows collapse when the story expands. Manifest navigated through its first major roadblock by easily moving from the setup to meatier stories." In another favorable evaluation, Variety's Daniel D'Addario commented that the pilot didn't "pretend to have answers; it only poses questions. But its inquisitiveness and willingness to be bold and fairly uncynical given all the things it's trying to be is more than welcome." In a mixed critique, Los Angeles Times's Lorraine Ali remarked that the series had a compelling premise and that the many mysteries it introduced "point toward a potentially addictive series if Manifest allows its gripping supernatural narrative to rise above its characters' less interesting personal dramas."The Washington Post's Hank Stuever compared the series negatively to other network science fiction series saying, "Manifest, alas, beelines thoughtlessly toward its hokiest idea, when some of the returning passengers discover they've acquired psychic powers. Just like that, a viewer who might have been interested in the human element is instead served a cold plate of mystery meat — not the new Lost, but a feeble throwback to forgettable failures such as The Event." In a similarly dismissive appraisal, The New York Times' Margaret Lyons commented that "Manifest has a frustrating lack of propulsion, a central dullness whose force field is so strong it bends all the interesting parts toward itself."
