Aug. 28 (UPI) — Netflix is developing a spinoff of its hit series Manifest.
The streaming service announced Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery, a new show in the Manifest universe, on Fri, Aug. 28, or 8/28, a reference to flight 828, a significant number in the original show.
Manifest series creator Jeff Rake will return, along with executive producers Margaret Easley and Laura Putney, who will now serve as co-creators and showrunners of the spinoff.
“I’m delighted to be able to tell a new story for the Manifest fans out there and also for a brand-new audience,” Rake told Netflix’s Tudum. “It’s been five long years since we showed up on Netflix, and there’s probably half a generation who has never heard of Manifest. We’ve tried to thread the needle in a way that’s rewarding for the OG Manifest fans, but also equally rewarding for people who are brand new to the show.”

Manifest originally had a three-season run on NBC from 2018 to 2021. The show was canceled but then renewed for a fourth season on Netflix after the first three seasons started streaming on the service and became a hit.
Starring Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, Parveen Kaur, Matt Long and Holly Taylor, the series is a supernatural drama that follows the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828, who learn upon landing that over five years have passed while they were in the air and that they were presumed dead.
Arrivals is described as a sci-fi thriller that will feature new characters and storylines.
