As season 3 concluded, viewers discovered that Cal had returned and aged 5 years after disappearing from touching the tailfin of flight 828.Why this happened and where Cal disappeared to will likely be a central focus of the coming season.Indeed,this could potentially lead to discovering where flight 828 went for the 5.5 years it disappeared. Actor Ty Doran will now portray the teenage character of Cal and viewers had a glimpse of him in the season 3 finale while he was beside his mother,Grace as she passed away after being attached by Angelina.

However,there is no resentment from Messina and the talented young actor took to social media to wish his former fellow cast members all the best for season 4.He also thanked creator Jeff Rake for the opportunity and was reportedly proactive in efforts to help revive the show after NBC cancelled it last spring.

I want to wish @jeff_rake and everyone at #manifest the best of luck on season 4,” he wrote in the caption.

Why did the calling suggest that one of the abductors go towards Angelina? Is there more to the vision?The good news is that currently that think Cal is dead so they are not pursuing him.Why did the other abductors get the calling too and what beyond the seemingly superficial connection of having been in the same place in the same time years ago, do they potentially share with her?
