Zeke's Death Date Is Approaching on 'Manifest,' and We're Not Ready to Say Goodbye

From key trends to fundamental details, understand everything about Zeke's Death Date Is Approaching on 'Manifest,' and We're Not Ready to Say Goodbye in our latest feature.

Jeff, who created the supernatural drama, revealed earlier this year that whatever happens to Zeke in Season 2 will directly impact the passengers from Flight 828 given his shared connection to their experience.

"His journey through these Callings is intended to be his story of personal redemption, and so we're going to watch Zeke come to embrace the Callings and his role in the journey of Flight 828," the executive producer told TV Guide in January. 

"He started this story believing he had next to no self-worth, and through these Callings he's going to reluctantly and begrudgingly realize that he is not only worthy of redemption but his redemptive journey is going to be crucial for the survival of all the passengers," Jeff added.

But will Zeke have to die in order for the others to live? "This idea of undoing the death date is the fundamental mythological question of Season 2 and we will answer that by the time we get to the end of the season," the writer noted.

A teaser for the upcoming finale reads: "As the final hours of Zeke's life approach, Saanvi and Vance make a last ditch effort to appeal to the Major, who may be the only person who can save him from his death date." Clearly, we’ll be left to worry about Zeke until the very last minute.

The final two episodes of Manifest's second season air March 30 and April 6 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.
