The ‘Manifest’ team celebrated ‘828 Day’ with a clever video tease

The disappearance and reappearance of Montego Air flight 828 kicked off the central mystery of Manifest. So, it is fitting that Aug. 28, or 8/28, is now recognized as 828 Day by many Manifesters. To celebrate the day, the Manifest creative team put together a witty video featuring Rake.

“Hey. I’m Manifest showrunner, Jeff Rake. Happy 828 Day,” began Rake in the video before launching into his spiel. As Rake teed up “eight things to look forward to next season,” the production crew did fans a solid by flashing a graphic, saying, “Warning: Spoilers Ahead.”
