A follow-up film from the same team behind 2018’s Searching, Missing is one of this year’s best thrillers, the “Screenlife” film scaring up $48.6 million at the worldwide box office.

Missing was released on Digital and Blu-ray back in March by Sony, and the film also made its way onto Netflix last week. Now streaming, it’s become a top title for the service.

For the week running May 15 – May 21, Missing was the #6 most streamed title on Netflix, behind films including Synchronic, A Man Called Otto, Ted, and The Mother.

Missing was watched for 5.2 million hours during that first week on the platform. You can stream Missing on Netflix now – and we highly recommend you do. The film unfolds a mystery that’s as compelling as any true crime docuseries, loaded with twists and cleverly constructed and conveyed through modern technology. It’s one of this year’s must-see genre gems.

Storm Reid and Nia Long star in Missing, with the cast also including Joaquim de Almeida, Ken Leung, Amy Landecker, Daniel Henney, Megan Suri and Tim Griffin.

In the brand new Searching sequel Missing, said to be a “thrilling roller-coaster mystery that makes you wonder how well you know those closest to you”…

“When her mother (Nia Long) disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June’s (Storm Reid) search for answers is hindered by international red tape. Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it’s too late.

“But as she digs deeper, her digital sleuthing raises more questions than answers…and when June unravels secrets about her mom, she discovers that she never really knew her at all.”

Will Merrick & Nick Johnson directed for Sony’s Stage 6 Films. Merrick and Johnson also wrote the script based on a story by Sev Ohanian and Aneesh Chaganty.
