The Missing is a British television drama series first broadcast on BBC One in the UK on 28 October 2014 and in the US on Starz on 15 November 2014. It is a co-production between BBC and Starz. The eight-part series about the search for a missing boy in France, was written by brothers Harry and Jack Williams, and was directed by Tom Shankland. It stars Tchéky Karyo as Julien Baptiste, the French detective who leads the case with James Nesbitt and Frances O'Connor as Oliver's parents.
The second eight-part series, featuring a new case set in Germany, was broadcast on BBC One from 12 October 2016. Tchéky Karyo returns as Julien Baptiste, with David Morrissey and Keeley Hawes as Alice's parents.
Both series received very positive reviews, with critics praising the cast, especially Tchéky Karyo's turn as Julien Baptiste and the storytelling.
