I wanted to send a quick update on what I’ve been up to lately.
In a few weeks time I will have the honor of interviewing Actor Matt Long (Netflix Manifest).
For those of you who don’t know, Matt Long plays Zeke Landon on the hit show Manifest. The show has just released the final batch of episodes (10) that are now airing on Netflix.
Back in 2020, Matt and I started following each other on Instagram and have been connecting ever since. Just last Fall we finally met at an event in New York City called PaleyFest.
Just recently a good friend of mine that I met through this show on Twitter created a tribute video for Matt Long’s character Zeke. She used 2 pieces of music I wrote. You can check out the video below. It does contain SPOILERS so if you haven’t watched the show I would skip it. Matt shared it on his Instagram account and it has 258k views.
The missing-plane drama Manifest has had a hell of a ride. First came the now infamous cancellation by NBC, followed by months of uncertainty over the show’s remaining two seasons and then culminating in a last-minute, 20-episode order from Netflix. The second half of the abbreviated final season will hit the streamer June 2 — right in the middle of the WGA strike that prohibits its prolific writer-showrunner, Jeff Rake, from promoting the series.

The series has generated more than 78 million hours across 88 countries to rank the No. 1 overall and English-language streamed Netflix content for the week ended June 11. Its a global hit!
I wanted to send this out because if you are a fan of the show, feel free to send me any questions you may have for Matt Long. You can either leave them in the comments of this post or reply to the email.
I’m really looking forward to sitting down and chatting with him about his time on Manifest and what’s next for him.
More details coming soon…
