Season 1 M-Net (*101) 20:00 Sci-fi

Manifest (2018- current) is a sci-fi mystery with a heart. “It’s Lost (20042010) meets This Is Us (2016- current). So it has the high- concept mystery but it is all grounded by a very real, very emotional drama about a family that has been torn apart,” says Josh Dallas. He plays mathematic­ian Ben Stone, a passenger on Montego Air Flight 828 from Jamaica to New York City that managed to lose his luggage and fiveand-a-half years of his life, which it somehow skipped over mid-flight! And now he is hearing voices in his head. When Josh started filming the show though, he didn’t know what was really going on. “I didn’t want to know because I wanted to discover it along with the audience,” says the actor.

Superpower­s, secret connection­s, timehops and more are no mystery to 39-year-old Josh, best known to fantasy fans as Prince Charming/David Nolan in Once Upon A Time (2011-2018). And talk about fairytale magic – he met his wife and personal princess Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White) on Once Upon A Time. They married in 2014 and now have two sons – Oliver Finlay Dallas (born in 2014) and Hugo Wilson Dallas (born in 2016). Josh was raised in Kentucky but started his acting career in London after he won a scholarshi­p at the age of 16 to study at Mountview Conservato­ire For The Performing Arts. After graduating, he performed with Royal Shakespear­e Company and more for 11 years. Five days after returning home to Hollywood, Josh was cast as Fandral in 2011 superhero movie Thor. “It was a nice welcome home present,” he says.
