Flight 828 and Manifest have ended their journey on Netflix, but a door was left open for a new mystery in a scene that viewers did not see. Josh Dallas, who played dad Ben Stone in the series, spoke about the possibility of the Manifest story continuing in some way.
Also starring Melissa Roxburgh, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long, Holly Taylor, Daryl Edwards, and Ty Doran, the Netflix series follows the survivors of a mysterious plane disappearance who return after being missing for five years.
Dallas spoke about a scene that was filmed but did not air in the finale, per TV Insider:
“It sort of opens the story a little bit — or a lot — for further journeys to happen. I don’t know what’s happening with that. I don’t know if it’s ever going to happen, but if there was ever a Manifest sequel and [show creator] Jeff Rake wanted to write words to put in my dumb mouth, I would be there 100 percent anytime, anywhere he says. And I would hope that it would be with Daryl [Edwards, who plays Robert Vance].
[The scene] may or may not take place on the plane and it may or may not include some very pivotal characters to Flight 828. It definitely had a character in it that is connected to every single one of those passengers on the plane … and who maybe disappeared at some point in a past season.”
Manifest aired its first three seasons on NBC before it was cancelled. Netflix saved the series and ordered a fourth and final season of 20 episodes so viewers would have some closure.
What do you think? Do you want to see more of Manifest on Netflix? Would you watch a new mystery with the survivors of Flight 828?
After reading the article on TV Insider, I’m very happy that I opened this article in a tab and refused to read until I had watched episode 20 ! It was the right decision. Now the question is, when Vance and company confiscate those 11 piles of disjointed molecules, what will they learn? Was all the quantum info lost or are the DNAs still encoded therein somehow? Could a sequel ever match the dramatic ending of Manifest 1? It might just devolve into an FBI/Bones/Fringe sort of story line. Perhaps Manifest should just end on this high note and let… Read more »
Nah, just leave it as it is. This journey deserved an ending and it got one. I’m happy that Manifest got it’s final season, not many shows do.
More, please! Much, much more!
Yes please continue Manifest. It’s a great show, Hate to have it end
Left me wanting more.
I want to thank the writers for a very satisfying ending episode. It was great to wrap things up nicely for our “good” characters. Of course I would love a follow up series on Vance trying to figure out the missing 11 passengers. And this would obviously involve Ben & Mick. Not wild about Grace being back but we of course want to see more of Zeke. And exploring how the returned are reconciling their present day life’s with what they know from the time they were gone would be good storylines. Lots of possibilities. Wish they had shown us… Read more »
No, and not because I didn’t like the show — I loved it. A proper story has a beginning, a middle, and a, hopefully, good ending, which Manifest did, so the only thing that could possibly happen for it to go on is some sort of nonsense that no one will really like and will sully the reputation of the main show. Let it rest. Great show, but it’s over.
I did not know that the final 20 episodes of Manifest just started on Netflix. I will definitely watch them. I also wish this was not the final season and that Netflix will continue this show for more seasons. It is a very entertaining show.
More Manifest? Yes, please
I am hoping that Manifest is picked up after the finale to continue on the saga of 828. There are alot of Manifest junkies out there that would love for this to continue one. I am certainly one of them. I hope Netflix picks this up and continues 828 to fly again
Yes, one thousand times yes!! The series was entertaining & thought-provoking. Guve us more PLEASE with a satisfying closure!!!
No!! I was tired of this show way before the move to Netflix.
Yes, yes, yes I will watch. I haven’t seen the episode that just dropped yet, but will soon.
Please give us some more
Hell yes. Love this show. I hated that Netflix only revived it for the 20 episodes. There was supposed to be like 2-3 more seasons. I haven’t watch the newest ones that just dropped on Netflix….I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow. So excited.
It did deserve a proper ending, so kudos to Netflix for picking it up. If I had to nit pick, the first 10 episodes were rather thrilling but the last 10 lacked some of the same drama and tension to have you gripped to your sea. Whilst we saw a somewhat satisfying ending for most of the characters, what we didn’t get was any real reasoning for the whole premise of what happened, which would give an option for it to be further explored and fully explained. Otherwise, we all have to make up our own minds as to the… Read more »
