Netflix is developing a new spinoff, currently titled Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery, which will be set over three years after the sci-fi drama, the streamer announced Aug. 28.

Set in the universe of Manifest, “Arrivals marks a bold new chapter,” the press release noted, “introducing a new cast of characters and uncharted storylines set in a world built to captivate both Manifest superfans and newcomers alike.”

And while the original series—starring Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh—chronicled the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828 returning home after mysteriously being catapulted them five years into the future, Arrivals puts a new spin on the air travel time machine trope.

“When a mysterious plane crash-lands in Denver, the passengers emerge with no memory of who they are, where they came from or why they’re here,” the series logline explained. “A young social worker and a novice Homeland Security agent team up with the new arrivals in an attempt to stop a humanity-ending catastrophe, discovering along the way that they are all part of the very puzzle they’re trying to solve.”
