Josh Dallas, who plays Ben Stone, takes an understandably broader view as Manifest’s male lead, who dabbles in all aspects of the show, both fantastical and realistic. They’re going to be constantly at odds while you move towards that, and so imagining myself in that position is just the most profound and horrible thing I could think of.” “The idea that you know when you’re going to die, and all you’re doing up to that point is simultaneously coming to terms with it and trying to stop it. “The death date! It’s really the most morbid thing that you could think of,” she says.
It should be no surprise what Melissa Roxburgh’s favorite sci-fi element of Manifest is, given the danger her character Michaela Stone faces. “And Saanvi’s picture appears in the ancient text! I remember screaming out loud in my apartment… I love the mythology aspect of the show.” “I can remember reading a script (I don’t think I was in this particular episode, so I really wanted to figure out what was going to happen next), and I get to the part where they’re looking at an ancient text and there’s a boat,” he says. And it makes Olive’s character seem like a genius because I don’t know anybody who knows any of that stuff.”ĭaryl Edwards, who plays government investigator turned co-conspirator Robert Vance, has also been quite taken with the Al Zuras stories, recalling a surprising moment from Manifest season 3. “Reading about it kind of blows my mind: how we have these outlandish concepts and things that are happening, and then they come back and are so related to this exact text. “I feel like I’ll change my answer after this interview and think it over, but right now I want to say the Al Zuras mythology just because I guess I didn’t really know a lot about that to begin with,” she says. Holly Taylor, like her Manifest character Angelina, focuses mostly on what Olive is up to for her favorite. “There’s so many themes that you can take out of mythology that relate to the show and also just the art of storytelling. “Definitely the mythology for sure,” she chooses. Parveen Kaur, who plays the much beleaguered character of medical researcher Saanvi Bahl, finds just as much thematic richness in the historical aspects of Manifest’s mythology as in classical mythology, which informs so much contemporary narrative structure. “But as Olive, always filming the crazy mythology scenes and having to learn all of those crazy, crazy lines is always really fun - everything with Al Zuras.” It just gives the show a little bit more oomph,” she says. “I think the whole concept of the death date is really cool. Luna Blaise also hones in on those same two fantastical elements, giving the slight edge to the mythology that her character Olive Stone often tackles in Manifest. It increases the stakes, and it really adds a lot of tension and drama to the situations in the story and the relationships.” “But as an actor, I would pick the death date because it’s an immediate end game. “As a sci-fi fan, I would pick the Al-Zuras mythology because it’s so epic,” he explains. Matt Long, whose character Zeke Landon conquered his death date, agrees, but he has another favorite as well. “That definitely heightens the stakes beyond all measure.” “The fact that there’s this looming, ticking time bomb, that these people may not make it past an X number of days - that gives you a lot to work with,” says Ramirez.
Ramirez, the actor behind the intrepid police detective Jared Vasquez, the majority of the dramatic tension comes from the looming danger presented by the so called “death date,” a presumed expiration date for all Flight 828 passengers based on the amount of time the airplane leaped forward into the future. Will the divine nature of the callings ever truly be known? Is there a scientific explanation behind the dark lightning and the time jumps? Is the death date avoidable, or is it even real? We asked the cast members, as fans of their own show, what their favorite long-held mysteries were now that they know what audiences are about to discover.įor J. As Manifest prepares to air its fourth and final season on Netflix, longtime fans know that there are a lot of questions still to be answered in the twenty episodes that remain.
