One of the best BBC crime dramas ever, with James Nesbitt, is leaving Netflix soon

One of the BBC’s best crime dramas, The Missing, is leaving Netflix soon.

In 2014, the initial eight-episode installment of an engrossing crime mystery unfolded, focusing on a missing child case in France. Tchéky Karyo portrayed the main investigator, Julien Baptiste, while James Nesbitt and Frances O’Connor played the desperate parents of the lost boy.

In 2016, another installment came about, this one centered around a vanished girl in Germany. Once again, Karyo appeared alongside David Morrissey and Keeley Hawes, who played the missing child’s parents. The first series, featuring Nesbitt’s portrayal of Tony Hughes, a grieving father, garnered significant acclaim, as did Karyo’s compelling performance as the detective. This resulted in the spin-off series “Baptiste” being introduced on BBC in 2019.

If you’re keen on seeing the original series that sparked everything, you don’t have much time left – “The Missing” departs from Netflix on April 12th.

The television series titled “The Missing” was highly praised by both spectators and experts in the field, boasting a staggering 93% positive feedback from critics and an impressive 90% rating from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

Although the program received numerous positive reviews, unfortunately, it wasn’t continued for a third season. Later on, its creators, Harry and Jack Williams, revealed that they preferred not to repeat the same plotlines.

However, Jack explained to Digital Spy that they were eager to avoid repetition. They had several concepts for a third series, but progressed with some of them only to find that nothing quite took hold.

Isn’t there a risk he’ll seem like a poor detective after so many instances?”)

Jack went on to say, “We discovered that The Missing and Julien Baptiste just didn’t mesh well together. It was quite disappointing when we found that out.

The Missing is available on Netflix until April 12.
