Prime Video has unveiled a first look at its four-part mystery thriller, Vanished, starring Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones and the Six) and Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant) – and it looks seriously gripping.
The series, which premieres on Prime Video in the UK on 27 February and on MGM+ in the US on 1 February, follows a woman named Alice, whose boyfriend mysteriously vanishes during a train to the south of France.
Vanished is definitely going on my watchlist, with the cast alone enough to make me tune in. Following Kaley Cuoco’s acclaimed turn in The Flight Attendant, for which she earned an Emmy nomination, there’s no doubt the actress can lead a thriller. With an impressive list of wide ranging genres on her CV, from the comedy thriller series Based on a True Story to the sitcom series The Big Bang Theory, Kaley has proven her ability to play complex characters and win over audiences with her natural charisma. Meanwhile, Sam Claflin also has incredible range, having played the detestable Sir Oswald Mosley in Peaky Blinders to the charmingly goofy Alex in the rom-com Love, Rosie, and troubled musician Billy in Daisy Jones & The Six.
