Missed Call, a gripping four-part thriller series, is set to premiere tonight at 9 PM in Saint-Michel, France. The show follows the harrowing journey of Sarah Gleason, played by Joanna Scanlan, as she searches for her daughter Katie, portrayed by Emily Coates, who mysteriously goes missing during a school exchange.
The series, created by Samuel Kissous and Matthew Thomas, delves into themes of secrets, abuse, and corruption within a picturesque French village. Filming took place in Montpellier, France, and around London, enhancing the show’s authentic backdrop.
As the first episode airs, viewers will witness Sarah’s frantic efforts to uncover the truth about her daughter’s disappearance. “When British teenager Katie Gleason vanishes during a school exchange in southern France, her mother Sarah rushes to Saint-Michel seeking answers,” a spokesperson for the show stated.
Unable to shake the feeling that her daughter is in danger, Sarah’s determination drives her to France, where she confronts local residents and authorities. Rupert Graves, who plays Jason Bradley, Sarah’s boyfriend, remarked, “I think one of the interesting things about this story is that when Sarah goes to investigate… she just wants to find the truth and find her daughter.”
The series will air nightly, concluding with its finale on April 17. Viewers can expect a thrilling ride as the plot unfolds over five episodes, each revealing more about the dark secrets of the town.
Joanna Scanlan described the series as “much darker than you might anticipate,” hinting at the intense emotional journey ahead for both the characters and the audience.
As anticipation builds for the premiere, fans of the thriller genre are eager to see how Sarah’s story unfolds and what revelations lie ahead in the search for Katie.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential follow-up seasons or additional storylines beyond the initial four parts. However, the show’s gripping premise has already garnered significant attention.
