James Nesbitt’s mystery drama that’s one of BBC’s best has new streaming home after leaving Netflix
After being removed from Netflix, the critically-acclaimed mystery drama The Missing, featuring James Nesbitt, has secured a new platform for streaming.
2014 marked the debut of BBC’s anthology series, where Trevor Nesbitt and Frances O’Connor portrayed the roles of a couple whose son had gone missing. The story unfolded as they sought help from detective Julien Baptiste (played by TchĂ©ky Karyo), who assisted them in their search across France.
2016 saw the airing of the second season that continued the story of detective Baptiste, who delved into the mystery of a missing German girl’s case. In this investigation, we found David Morrissey and Keeley Hawes portraying the roles of the girl’s concerned parents.
