Apple TV+ has announced that its new six-episode Australian thriller, 'Last Seen', will premiere on 9 September with the first two episodes, followed by weekly instalments every Wednesday. The series, formerly known as 'The Dispatcher', is based on Ryan David Jahn's novel of the same name.
The show follows police detective Ian Ridley, played by Patrick Brammall, whose life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter Maggie disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, and will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family.
Directed by Christian Schwochow, the cast also includes Maxine Peake, Brendan Cowell, Daniel Henshall, Jessica Wren, Zahra Newman and Chloe Jean Lourdes. Kris Mrksa adapted the series from Jahn's book.
The series is executive produced by Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta at 60Forty Films, with Schwochow, Mrksa and Joanna Werner at Werner Film Productions also serving as executive producers.
