Of course they announced it at 8:28 am. The passengers of flight 828 will come to the end of their journey with the final ten episodes of Manifest, set to premiere on June 2nd—the very same “Death Date” the characters fear.
This is technically the second part of the show’s fourth and final season; the first part arrived on Netflix on November 4th.
Here’s the very dramatic synopsis:
In the aftermath of Angelina unleashing a devastating volcanic fissure, the passengers face severe scrutiny in a world fueled by 828er hate, no longer free to solve their own Callings without constant supervision by the unscrupulous 828 Registry. A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers. As Michaela grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke, she must team up with her old flame Jared to find new methods to investigate Callings. Meanwhile, Ben and Saanvi attempt to collaborate with the Registry authorities, which only leads to dire results for the passengers. Miraculously, a mythological event reactivates Cal’s sapphire-laden dragon scar, offering a glimmer of hope for the 828ers to survive the rapidly approaching Death Date. But Angelina’s nefarious sapphire powers continue to wreak havoc, leading to a struggle between good and evil down to their very last day in this most terrifying, suspenseful and joyous chapter of the Manifest story.
Manifest originally aired on NBC for three seasons before being cancelled. Its early demise was averted when Netflix (where the series was very popular) picked it up for a fourth and final season. The show is about the survivors of a turbulent flight who discover, when they arrive home in New York City, that more than five years have passed. As if that’s not weird enough, they then start to experience visions of the future.
The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, J.R. Ramirez, Matt Long, Luna Blaise, Parveen Kaur, Ty Doran, and Daryl Edwards. Manifest comes from creator and showrunner Jeff Rake.
The world—or at least the series—ends on June 2nd on Netflix.
