Kidnapped is an American television drama series from Sony Pictures Television, which aired on NBC from September 20, 2006 to August 11, 2007. The series returned on Universal HD in 2008.
The series premise was to feature a new kidnapping each season, with a core continuing cast who investigated the kidnappings and additional cast members who changed each season, comprising the kidnappers and the people affected. The show told the story from the discrete points of view of the victim, the parents, the investigators, and the kidnappers. However, this idea of a semi-rotating cast became moot after the show's cancellation.
The core cast includes ex-FBI operative Knapp (Jeremy Sisto) offering privately contracted services to retrieve kidnapping victims, his technologically adept coordinator and assistant Turner (Carmen Ejogo), and FBI Agent Latimer King (Delroy Lindo).
Timothy Hutton and Dana Delany co-star as an affluent New York couple whose teenage son Leopold (Will Denton) is abducted. Other characters include Gutman (Mädchen Amick) and "The Accountant" (James Urbaniak), Leopold's bodyguard (and King's brother-in-law) Virgil Hayes (Mykelti Williamson), and FBI agents played by Linus Roache and Michael Mosley.
Nielsen ratings for the premiere were 6.0, with total viewers of 7.5 million, and adults 2.8 in the 18-49 demographic. The second episode scored a 2.1 in the 18-49 demographic, with a total of 6.3 million viewers.
Kidnapped was originally scheduled to air on Tuesdays at 9:00 pm, ET in the U.S., as announced in a presentation made by NBC in advance of the normal upfront presentations. This placed Kidnapped in a timeslot against the popular Fox TV series House. Because of this and similar problems with other shows, in an unusual move on May 25, 2006, NBC announced significant changes to its fall schedule, moving Kidnapped to a Wednesday at 10:00 pm, ET timeslot.
