The series , which premiered in September 2018,  focuses on Montego Air Flight 828, which landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight. The crew and passengers were relieved, but in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years and their friends, families and colleagues — after mourning their loss — had given up hope and moved on. Faced with the impossible, they’re all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they might be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible.

Though he didn’t share his own post about the return to production, star Josh Dallas retweeted Rake’s original tweet. Matt Long, who appears as Zeke, also shared a photo on his Instagram story.

Manifest also features Melissa Roxburgh, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina and Parveen Kaur.

The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, Universal Television, Compari Entertainment and Jeff Rake Productions. Jeff Rake, Jack Rapke, Jackie Levine and Len Goldstein are the executive producers.
