What Is It?
Manifest follows the passengers and crew of a flight that disappeared for five years. Time stood still for those on the plane, but continued for the rest of the world. Now the travelers must unlock the mystery of what happened to them while also dealing with strange new powers they have developed. Following is the official synopsis for the second season:
Last year’s breakout new series Manifest returns with captivating drama, heart-pounding mysteries and the answers to last season’s biggest questions. After a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers of Flight 828 disembarked to find the world had aged five-and-a-half years and their friends, families and colleagues had given up hope of ever seeing them again. Now, faced with the impossible, the passengers’ dreams of a second chance at life evaporate as they encounter the imminent danger surrounding them, both tangible and unexplained. With the stakes higher than ever, the passengers of Flight 828 will embark on an unexpected journey into a world grounded in hope, heart and destiny.

Status
Manifest pulled decent same-day ratings in its first season and usually saw strong delayed-viewing gains as well. Series creator and showrunner Jeff Rake has envisioned a six year story arc for the show, which may be a stretch on the brodcast networks these days, but could happen if the show continues to perform on par with its first season. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
