Athena Karkanis on NBC's 'Manifest' and playing an emotionally-charged Grace Stone
It is 'The Lost' meets 'This Is Us'. On more than one occasion, the cast of NBC's upcoming missing plane drama, 'Manifest,' have described the series as a perfect marriage between the cult-favorite plane crash story and the ongoing family drama. Except for the fact that the 191 passengers and crew of Montego Air Flight 828 in 'Manifest', will literally get lost in nowhere when the flight enters a turbulence.
After what appears to be a rather regular occurrence when the flight finally lands, to the shock of those onboard, it is revealed that over five years have gone by. Resultantly, family dynamics and the finer nuances of relationships will take a center stage alongside the bigger mystery explaining the disappearance of an entire flight in 'Manifest,' which premieres on Monday, September 24.
