The much-awaited show Missing You is piquing interest. It follows a detective named Kat Donovan, who discovers her fiancé, who disappeared years ago, on a dating app. This revelation sparks a mystery that connects her fiancé’s disappearance to her father’s murder case. As the series prepares for its release, fans are eager to find out whether there will be more seasons. So, has Netflix canceled or renewed Missing You for Season 2?
Here is everything you need to know about the future of the mystery thriller series.
Has Netflix canceled Missing You or renewed it for Season 2?
Netflix has neither canceled nor renewed Missing You for Season 2.
As fans are aware, the show is designated to be a limited miniseries. It is loosely based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name written by Harlan Coben. So, a second season seems really unlikely. However, viewers are hoping for additional episodes. This is because Netflix started a unique marketing strategy in recent months of dividing particular seasons of popular shows into parts. In fact, Cobra Kai’s final season has been divided into three parts to maintain the hype among the viewers.
However, this is not the case for Missing You which is scheduled as a five-part series. While the streaming platforms are known for renewing shows based on viewership and reviews, there are minimal to no chances for miniseries.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, author Coben opened up on the limited nature of the story. She stated, ”This is five episodes. Most of the (shows) we’ve done are eight. So it’s a little tighter story. And I can say, I think this is the most emotional ending that I’ve experienced. When I watched episode five, I actually cried.”
Missing You will premiere on January 1, 2025. It features Rosalind Eleazar, Richard Armitage, Jessica Plummer, Lenny Henry, Marc Warren, and many others in key roles.
