'Manifest' Spinoff Series 'Arrivals' Ordered By Netflix

Key Points:

• Netflix has officially greenlit "Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery," a spinoff sci-fi drama set in the Manifest universe, featuring a new cast and storyline centered around a mysterious plane crash in Denver.
• The spinoff is created and showrun by Manifest original creator Jeff Rake and co-executive producers Margaret Easley and Laura Putney, with Warner Bros. TV returning as the studio.
• "Arrivals" follows passengers with amnesia after a plane crash and their efforts, alongside a social worker and Homeland Security agent, to prevent a global catastrophe, offering a fresh narrative distinct from the original series' time jump premise.
• Netflix announced the spinoff on "828 Day," a fan-celebrated date tied to Manifest's Flight 828 mystery, continuing the tradition of timed announcements akin to those for Stranger Things.
• The original Manifest series was saved by Netflix after NBC cancellation due to strong streaming viewership, with over 130 million views across four seasons and significant global popularity, motivating the expansion of the franchise.
