Where Was “Manifest” Filmed? - Peerspace
Filming locations
Have you ever noticed that setting can play a huge role in certain productions – almost like the place is a character unto itself? That’s definitely the case in “Manifest.” It’s why we’re so curious about its filming locations, after all!
Once the passengers head home to New York, we follow the story throughout the City. “Manifest” is one of few television productions set in the Big Apple that is actually (mostly) filmed there. In fact, superfans have traveled to various areas of New York to try to catch a glimpse of their favorite show during filming.
Some of the areas of New York where they film the show includes Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and especially Queens.
To get super specific, the exterior of Ben and Grace Stone’s fictional house is located at 81-14 218th Street in the Hollis Hills neighborhood of Queens. They filmed some season 2 outdoor scenes in Forest Park, the borough of Queens’ third largest park. They filmed the bulk of season 3 in Astoria, NYC, another neighborhood in Queens.
Stay tuned to find out where they filmed season 4 since it’s very much a secret. However, we can say that it was in New York.
Airport scenes
Airport scenes logically come into play in this series, seeing as how it is about the fate of a commercial plane and its passengers. When Flight 828 was diverted away from JFK, it went toward the Hudson Valley’s Stewart Airport. In fact, they actually filmed parts of the show there as well.
A second airport where “Manifest” was filmed is Long Island’s Republic Airport. But Jet Flite International is the real-life site of most “Manifest” airport moments. Located in Farmingdale, New York, the airport serves private chartered jets only.
Sound editing
You’re unlikely to see one of your favorite “Manifest” stars stepping into the series’ sound stage, but it’s worth noting that Silvercup Studios is where all the audio magic happens.
It’s also where sound editors worked on New York all-stars “Sex and the City” and “30 Rock”.
