What’s This TV Show About?
A BBC One crime drama anthology on the Starz premium cable channel, season two of The Missing stars Tchéky Karyo, David Morrissey, Keeley Hawes, Jake Davies, Abigail Hardingham, Laura Fraser, and Roger Allam. In 2003, Sam (Morrissey) and Gemma Webster’s (Hawes) daughter Alice went missing. Eleven years later, a young British woman stumbles through the streets of her German hometown and announces she is Alice (Hardingham). Her return raises suspicions throughout Eckhausen. Alice 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 (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
Season Two Ratings

The Missing has been cancelled so, there won’t be a third season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Despite its extremely low US season one ratings, Starz renewed The Missing for a second installment, back in December of 2014. The cabler co-produces the crime drama with the BBC and the show is a strong performer in UK, drawing an average audience of over 8,000,000. When the second season premiered on February 12th, Starz made all episodes available on demand on and on their app, which may indicate season one attracted more viewers than the season one linear ratings suggest. Ratings and costs aside, a couple of months ago co-creators Harry and Jack Williams said they might not want to make a third season. Instead, they might go in a new direction with a spin-off featuring Julien Baptiste (Karyo). Right now, I think it is more likely The Missing will end rather than renewed for season three.

What do you think? Were you hoping that The Missing TV show would be renewed for a third season?
This is an awesome show!!! US is not as familiar with BBC productions, but more of us are becoming fans of BBC productions. Please renew this show. It is Brilliant and captivating!!!
This is one of the best TV series we’ve seen in years. The ratings aren’t high because nobody has ever heard of it. We stumbled upon it half way through season 1 and haven’t missed an episode since.
Season 3! Season 3!
Love The Missing. Please don’t cancel!
Please, don’t be foolish to cancel “The Missing”. As the title suggests, I know why I’m tuning in to watch. Brilliant writing, and brilliant casting in both seasons 1 and 2, and hopefully more seasons to come, should not easily be dismissed. I’m terminally ill and it’s difficult to do much, but I find the will to watch Batiste, and, The Missing. The writers owe it to their fans/audience, to continue the excitement and suspense.
TV at its best. Spellbinding drama with tremendous acting. Woulld be a shame for this show to be cancelled.
Yes Please ! Season 3
Please season 3!!! Please!! Please!!
Love this series. Of course renew, can’t get enough of Julien Babtiste!
RENEW, RENEW, RENEW!!!
A spin off with detective Baptise would be great!!!!!!
Please, please, please, renew The Missing for another season #3. This by far the best tv series I have seen all year!
I hope it comes back for 3 rd season , it has been my favorite series by far and there are so many
Bring it back
I never watch tv – in particular a series that requires your dedication on a regular basis in order to find out an ending, that is until The Missing. I watched an entire series in 2 days and was quite on edge reading that their might not me a 3rd season.
Please please please continue on with this show and if you could hurry up I would be grateful.
Signed
“The Found”
I think this is the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Season 2 was great. They always cancel shows as people are starting to become aware of them.
This show is so well done. The acting, writing, cinematography…all top notch. It would be a huge disappointment if it is cancelled.
Renew “The Missing ” for season 3.
