Stephen King now shares his enthusiasm for 'Manifest' season 4 on Twitter. In a recent tweet, he praises the show with a twist of his signature sense of humor. In a previous tweet, he wrote, "I’m 6 episodes into MANIFEST (NETFLIX). It’s like reuniting with old friends you thought were gone forever," whereas in a more recent tweet he inquires, "Episode 7 of MANIFEST: Um...is Cal Stone old enough to drink? Just asking."

Safe to say, the National Medal of Arts winner has been enjoying it tons, maybe it is also because the genre of the series coincides with the type of fiction King writes. However, if you are wondering who is Cal Stone, he is Ben and Grace's son, Michaela's nephew, Eden's older brother, and Olive's twin brother (he was five and a half years younger than she was when he came back from the disappearance) Cal was a passenger on Flight 828. Ty Doran portrays the character of Cal.

'Manifest' season 4's first ten episodes confirmed that a volcanic apocalypse is imminent. Antagonist Angelina wreaked havoc when she got hold of the Omega Sapphire, with the last episode implying that she may have absorbed its power through a shard. The back half of the season will likely find fan-favorite 'Manifest' characters banding together to prevent the apocalypse and stop Angelina.

'Manifest' season 4, part 2 should also clear up any confusion regarding Zeke's death and, most importantly, the truth behind Montego Airflight 828.

Although, no release date for 'Manifest' season 4, part 2 has been announced by either Netflix or creator Jeff Rake.
