'Manifest' Season 2: Jeff Rake might have hinted at a 2nd villain through the cult "Church of the Returned"

A cult has been formed with one man as a priest who clearly understands his own profit from the people's blind faith in him

NBC's 'Manifest' has been often called a mystery thriller due to the aspect of the missing plane but the show relies heavily on religious connotations in order to give out clues about the mystery. Coming from creator Jeff Rake, 'Manifest' has been following the passengers who are hearing the voices in their heads, they refer to as "Callings" ever since they got off the plane.

These "Callings" have been leading them toward committing acts of redemption, by letting them see the future or telling them what to do. While some passengers such as Ben Stone (Josh Dallas) and Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh) have been faithfully following them, there are some passengers who have been trying to turn these voices for their own benefit.
