PUBLISHED OCT 23, 2018

NBC's 'Manifest' has once again broken all records for the channel by tying up with 'This Is Us' to gain the highest viewership in its second week, and with the fifth episode revealing some undefined secrets, creator Jeff Rake has stated that the incidents in the show will take place within three weeks of Montego Ari Flight 828's return after five years.

'Manifest' follows the story of the passengers who were presumed dead when Flight 828 went missing in 2013 and landed back only in 2018.
