'Manifest' Season 2 Air Date, Spoilers: Creator Discusses Ticking Time Bomb, Survivors Sentenced to Death

The finale for the first season of “Manifest” provided viewers with quite the shocking revelation with regards to the survivors of Flight 828. What was originally thought of as a miracle can now be seen as one of the worst punishments people can be subjected to. It would appear that the passengers have become ticking time bombs. This is a concept that will play a major role in “Manifest” Season 2 and beyond.

Speaking to TV Guide recently, series creator Jeff Rake provided fans with a look into what they can expect “Manifest” Season 2 to be about. Not that this is entirely necessary after the discovery made during the first season’s finale. It would seem that the passengers of the time-traveling plane are on borrowed time and they will die five years after they landed.

“It's kind of a metaphorical bomb that drops in the lap of Ben and Grace and Olive in those final moments of the season finale,” Jeff Rake said when asked about this discovery. “It is compelling given that Ben (Josh Dallas) reached the calculus in one way while Olive (Luna Blaise) reached it in a different, mythological way. The fact that they reached the same result carries a lot of weight for them but it's still just a theory that will require Ben and others to set out to try to figure out if there are ways that they can confirm this theory that is, in a sense, the worst nightmare for them.”

Finding out that they might have only a little bit of time left before they die will likely have a huge impact on the psyche of the characters in “Manifest” Season 2. This is likely to play a role in how they will set off events that could prove deadly. Renewal for the series has yet to be officially announced, but if production starts this year, a late 2020 premiere could be expected.
