Today is August 28th, and fans of the show Manifest will tell you today is 828 Day in honor of the fateful flight’s flight number, 828.
What is the best way to celebrate a day of something? With a gift, of course! And Netflix (who saved the show after NBC cancelled it) and Jeff Rake are doing just that. They announced that a new series is in the works, with a new mystery plane landing and a cast.
According to Deadline, Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery is about “when a mysterious plane crash-lands in Denver, the passengers emerge with no memory of who they are, where they came from, or why they’re here. A young social worker and a novice Homeland Security agent team up with the new arrivals in an attempt to stop a humanity-ending catastrophe, discovering along the way that they are all part of the very puzzle they’re trying to solve.”
“But the world of Manifest has more stories to tell. To now bring fans a brand-new mystery from that world is quite simply beyond my wildest dreams,” Rake told Deadline. “Arrivals co-creators and co-showrunners Laura Putney and Margaret Easley have been my trusted colleagues for over a decade. Their contribution to the Manifest mothership cannot be overstated. It was a no-brainer to make them my partners on this spinoff. Together we’ve set out to create something bold, surprising, deeply human, and full of the kind of big ideas that spark conversations long after the credits roll. We can’t wait for a whole new audience – and longtime Manifest fans – to discover Arrivals.”
