VIDEO: Watch the First Act of NBC's New Drama MANIFEST

Tuesday, August 28, NBC unveiled the first act of the upcoming supernatural thriller "Manifest" to coincide with the series' fictitious Montego Air Flight 828. "Manifest" will premiere Monday, September 24 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. Yet in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years and their friends, families and colleagues, after mourning their loss, had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they're all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible. From Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Jeff Rake and Jackie Levine comes an emotionally rich, unexpected journey into a world grounded in hope, heart and destiny.

The cast includes Melissa Roxburgh ("Valor"), Josh Dallas ("Once Upon a Time"), Athena Karkanis ("Zoo"), J.R. Ramirez ("Power"), Luna Blaise ("Fresh Off the Boat"), Jack Messina and Parveen Kaur ("Saving Hope").

Jeff Rake will write and executive produce. David Frankel will direct and executive produce the pilot. Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Jackie Levine also executive produce. "Manifest" is produced by Warner Bros. Television, Universal Television, Compari Entertainment and Jeff Rake Productions.
