A Huge Season 1 Lie Let Manifest Keep Its Biggest Secret For Years

Manifest solved its biggest mysteries during its final season, and the series managed to keep the truth about Flight 828 a secret for years thanks to one season 1 lie. The main plot of Manifest revolves around the disappearance of Flight 828, whose passengers reappear after they’ve been missing for five years. Their return is complicated by the fact that they all start having visions — what they dub “callings” — and discover they’re connected to a date five years from their return. They believe this is their “Death Date” and that all of humanity will perish if they can’t find a way to stop it.
