SEASON 8

The Missing is back and the first two episodes of our new season will be released on Wednesday the 4th of December. The Missing released its first episode in December 2020. In the four years since, we’ve covered more than seventy missing person cases, across the UK and Ireland. In the course of our work, we’ve spoken to hundreds of parents, spouses, sons, daughters and friends, whose brave and unvarnished testimonies have shone a light on a grim phenomenon that more often than not, is underreported in our communities. Their stories have taken us everywhere from the controlled chaos of London’s busiest boroughs, to the quiet and lonely peaks of the Scottish highlands…We’ve been brought along on voyages of discovery in the Canadian wilderness, navigated the Caribbean by catamaran and even undertaken pilgrimages to the holiest sites of mainland Europe. All of this is to say, that of the 170,000 people who vanish in the United Kingdom every year, no two missing person cases are the same. So join us for the final series of The Missing UK - in its current form - as we highlight seven missing person cases that need your help and revisit some of the most impactful stories we’ve covered since the show first began. The vast majority of missing people are found within 48 hours of their disappearance but some go on to become what’s described as the long term missing.
