One of the “25 Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2017” – Rolling Stone

Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said, “The STARZ series ‘The
Girlfriend Experience’ and ‘Flesh and Bone’ experienced considerable
growth in binge watching over the course of their seasons, and we

addictive storytelling.”

About “The Missing”

The anthology series follows parents Sam (David Morrissey) and Gemma
Webster (Keeley Hawes), whose daughter, Alice, went missing in 2003.
Eleven years later, a young British woman stumbles through the streets
of her German hometown and announces herself as Alice Webster (Abigail
Hardingham), the girl who went missing over a decade prior. Alice’s
sudden return causes ripples of suspicion through the small community,
especially when it is revealed she may hold vital clues to the
whereabouts of another missing girl, Sophie Giroux, who vanished shortly
before Alice. Haunted by the unsolved Giroux case, French detective
Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) is motivated out of retirement to follow
new information that Alice may have on Sophie’s disappearance. Told
across three timelines, flitting between 2014 and the present day, we
follow Alice’s family as they are thrown into a turmoil that threatens
to tear them apart at the seams.

The first installment of “The Missing” premiered on STARZ in 2014 and

Globe® award nominations and one Emmy® award nomination. The
