The Manifest universe is officially returning to Netflix. The streamer has ordered Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery, a new sci-fi drama from original series creator Jeff Rake that will expand the franchise with a fresh cast of characters and an entirely new mystery.
via Deadline:
It’s 8/28, time for Manifest news. Exactly five years to the minute after Netflix announced it was reviving Manifest for a fourth and final season following its NBC cancellation, the streamer is resurrecting the series again, this time with a spinoff. Netflix has greenlighted Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery, a sci-fi drama set in the universe of Manifest featuring a new cast of characters and storylines.
The offshoot comes from Manifest creator, executive producer and showrunner Jeff Rake and co-executive producers Margaret Easley and Laura Putney; the trio serves as co-creators, executive producers and showrunners of Arrivals, with Warner Bros. TV back as studio.
In Arrivals, 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.
