There isn’t long left to wait for the arrival of Manifest Season 3. What can we expect on the new season? Here’s what we know so far.

Manifest Season 3 will certainly have a lot of topics to cover. The second season left us with some major questions, especially when it comes to Saanvi and what she’s going to do after killing The Major. We also have a lot of questions about the Death Date and whether everyone now has a way to survive it.

However, Season 3 is going to bring up the idea that everyone who was on Flight 828 died on that flight. Is it possible? It’s certainly something the show has been hinting at for some time now.

Let’s dive into what we do know about Manifest Season 3 to get ready for the all-new season.

Manifest Season 3 release date

First of all, it’s all about the release date. We know when that will be. The show will premiere on Thursday, April 1 at 8/7c on NBC.

Yes, you want to take in those changes. It’s moving from a Monday night to a Thursday night. Thursdays are competitive, but isn’t that the case for every week night? The timeslot is the concerning change. It’s moving from the 10/9c timeslot to the 8/7c timeslot, kicking off a night of mystery and crime with Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime following on.

Manifest Season 3 cast

We have all of our usual players back for the third season of the series. Their stories are going to be intertwined as usual, which isn’t surprising with a series like this.

There is going to be a “long-lost character” returning to the series. We have no idea who that character will be, but part of me hopes that it’s going to be the pilot who flew into the lightning with the research developer. We need answers to what happened to him, right?

Holly Taylor has landed the role of Angelina, a passenger from 828 who Ben has overlooked so far. She is likely to be introduced in the premiere and will likely have a major role in the season-long arc.

Manifest Season 3 trailer

Take a look at the trailer for the third season. It certainly gives us a lot to work with for theorizing what comes next.

Manifest Season 3 synopsis

NBC has also released the official synopsis for Manifest Season 3:

Manifest returns for a third season of action-packed drama, shocking revelations and the answer to the show’s biggest mystery – what happened to the passengers of Flight 828? Over a year has passed since the miraculous homecoming of Flight 828 and the discovery of others who have mysteriously returned. While the Stone family endeavors to keep their friends safe and make their enemies believe the unbelievable, new challenges will test their trust of the callings and each other. But sticking together is more important than ever, because no matter what happens, it’s all connected.

As you can tell from the trailer, the plane is back. It didn’t get blown to smithereens. That means it’s time to get a few answers about what happened to everyone on that flight.

Meanwhile, there is going to be focus on the Callings. Not everyone wants to use them for good, which isn’t all that surprising when you consider, you know, humans!
