Jeff Rake's Manifest Spinoff News is bittersweet after how the Original Series ended
The Manifesto Had a Divisive End
Manifesto ended with the timeline reset only the passengers of Flight 828 who were deemed worthy survived and retained their memories of what happened throughout the series. Everyone in the newly reset timeline had no memory of their travels in the past four seasons. And the passengers of the ill-judged Flight 828 simply perished. One of the main reasons this ending is divisive is because the series undoes much of the character development and leaves questions unanswered. A spinoff could potentially fix this problem, but depending on what happens, it could make the ending worse.
A spinoff series can be just as compelling as its predecessor, but it can easily worsen the problems caused by the end of the original series.
Between common mysteries about the calls and what really happened with Flight 828, Manifesto It was an exciting show to watch throughout its run. After years of these mysteries and difficult character journeys, the finale undermined both the plot and character arcs.

What Jeff Rake's Manifest Spinoff Could Be About
There are 2 possible options
The simplest path for a future Manifest spinoff would be a direct sequel series in the reset graph. NSA Director Robert Vance is already investigating the missing passengers on Flight 828 who were unknowingly deemed ineligible. And as for the Zeke Landon of this timeline, he and Michaela Stone met for the first time. A direct sequel series will favor familiar characters, but will have to make different story choices, especially since important characters like Angelina don't exist in the new timeline.
Angelina was deemed unworthy and reduced to ashes for her dirty deeds in seasons 3 and 4.
Another approach for a spinoff would be to go back to the 16th century and Get a comprehensive look at what really happened with Egyptian explorer Yusuz Al-Zuras and his Challenges. This could be an effective way to address unanswered questions about the Bells, divine consciousness, and general mythology in a way that feels different from the original series. with ManifestoWith its biggest appeal not being its characters but its supernatural mysteries, a spinoff focused on Al-Zuras might be the best way to expand the universe even further.
