Scott Cann’s last TV series, the reboot of Hawaii Five-0, ran for 10 seasons on CBS. Now, he’s back for a new police procedural series on a different network. How will Alert: Missing Persons Unit perform on FOX? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A drama series, the Alert: Missing Persons Unit TV show stars Caan, Dania Ramirez, Adeola Role, Ryan Broussard, and Graham Verchere, with Petey Gibson and Fivel Stewart in recurring roles. The story revolves around the personnel and investigations of the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). The unit is headed by Nikki Batista (Ramirez), whose marriage to Jason Grant (Caan) deteriorated after their son Keith (Verchere) went missing six years ago. Now working as a private investigator, Jason receives a possible “proof of life” photo that Keith may still be alive. As a result, Nikki recruits him to join the unit. At the MPU, they work alongside a team of highly skilled individuals. Mike Sherman (Broussard) is Batista’s current love interest and they met when he was assigned to oversee the search for Keith. Kemi Adebayo (Role) is proficient in many languages, highly discerning of visual clues, and uses her know-how as a shaman to take a holistic approach to her job. There’s also forensic anthropologist C (Gibson), who is a master at reconstructing the faces of those who have disappeared. Together, the team works to find the missing, abducted, or kidnapped before it’s too late and reunite them with their loved ones.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel.

What do you think? Do you like the Alert TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*3/24/23 update: Alert: Missing Persons Unit has been renewed for a second season by FOX.
So many holes in this – like kids wrote it, who is in charge / you should be fired. Bad writing. Need to hire better talent.
Quite possibly the worst show ever. Acting is….awful, to put it mildly. Premise has been done before, and THAT show failed miserably. Take the hint.
In it for Scott Caan mostly, I hate it when I’m more interested in the back story of their imposter kid, if it’s cancelled I just hope they wrap that story up.
Was hoping for a greatness for Scott. The ex wife is the worst acting I have seen in a while. The fbi magician is fairly annoying and they are trying to go somewhere down the lines of other great shows with forensics guy. I keep watching for Scott’s sake, but not hopeful
Yea the acting is soo bad. The lady from Devious Maids always looks like she is about to cry. And the black magic. She just doesn’t fit. This show needs a rewrite and and new actors.
Enjoyed Cann in Hawaii Five 0. Can’t make up my mind if I like this show. Some of the acting is not good. I can’t stand the female detective that involves herself in black magic, etc. Tired of her lighting candles and breaking eggs. Get rid of her.
Remember another Fox show neXt cancelled after three episodes? Well, this has scents of the same.
Episode one was dreary and summed up what should’ve been a script for a film instead.
All concluded in one episode.
They should’ve dragged the lost son out until eternity but they went and spoilt it.
Just like the uninhabited place of Alert, watch it too become deserted in the ratings.
Midway through episode 3 I realized how truly awful this show is. The acting, the directing, the dialogue — everything.
Bye bye.
I love the show win they canceling shows that I like keep this one I can believe people don’t like the show
Love Danno Hawai’i five -0 Scott Caan is the best. Look forward to seeing it.
