She is also passionate about highlighting and interviewing voices within the industry to help open the door for Hollywood to better represent the world through movies and television. Horror, she really loves horror movies. The world of animation as well...

In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship.

Milo Manheim may have spoken his Tangled casting into existence.

They definitely didn't do something bad here.

Speak what you want into existence!

A case for why the internet isn't always a bad place to be.

Chris Pratt just told a crazy story about how he landed Jurassic World.

In the second part of our series delving into the films of Christopher Nolan, we look at Memento, a potent onscreen manifestation of the filmmaker’s anxieties.

Screen Rant talks with Manifest star Matt Long about what season 2 has in store for Zeke.

Manifest season 2, episode 3 introduces two new villains to the series, but what are their plans for the passengers?

Here's what you need to know about the death date in Manifest season 2, what it means, and how it's different for some characters.

In a shocking last-minute twist, the season 2 premiere of Manifest reveals that a major season 1 character is somehow still alive.

A gun went off in the closing scene in the Manifest season 1 finale. Michaela, Jared, or Zeke could have been shot, but which one was it?

With Manifest making headways as one of network television’s best new dramas, it’s lead, Melissa Roxburgh, certainly has her hands full. At only 26, the Canadian actress finds herself the face of NBC’s next generation of primetime shows.

When the 2018-2019 television season first started back in September, NBC's Manifest quickly became one of the biggest hit series, and certainly one of the most talked about ones. The series follows a group of individuals who vanished on a flight five and a half years ago (to the rest of the world), while to them, it was merely a few minutes of turbulence. The parallels with Lost and other similar high concept genre fiction series were immediately drawn, but at least in the first half of the season, the series was able to stand on its own and prove that it had more to say.
