🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐
We’ve been hearing for years that it’s all connected — but the series finale of Manifest just made that abundantly clear.
Toward the end of the last episode, the passengers return to flight 828, but this time the plane lands safely in New York… back in 2013. In a very satisfying conclusion, we discover that not only do all the worthy passengers arrive alive, but the dearly departed — though not forgotten — Grace (Athena Karkanis) and Zeke (Matt Long) also return. With all those familiar faces congregating at baggage claim, “Final Boarding” serves as a who’s who of Manifest’s history.




So who made a timely landing for the series finale? Here’s a comprehensive list of all the ticketed passengers and a few others too who joined the some of our faves — Ben (Josh Dallas), Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh), Jared (J.R. Ramirez), Zeke, Grace, Saanvi (Parveen Kaur), Cal (Jack Messina), Olive (Luna Blaise), Vance (Daryl Edwards), Drea (Ellen Tamaki) and Angelina (Holly Taylor) — in the last episode.
