A trip to the south of France will ultimately go very south for Kaley Cuoco, who stars in the upcoming mystery series “Vanished.”
MGM+ has acquired the rights to the four-part thriller, which will premiere Sunday, Feb. 1. Created by David Hilton and Preston Thompson (“Kids in Love”), “Vanished” will find Cuoco (“The Big Bang Theory”) and Sam Claflin (“Daisy Jones & the Six”) playing Alice and Tom, a couple whose romantic getaway to Paris takes a dark turn after Tom suddenly disappears aboard a train to the south of France. From there, per the official logline, “Alice is plunged into a web of intrigue and danger, uncovering shocking secrets about the man she thought she knew.”
Karin Viard (“Polisse”), Matthias Schweighöfer (“Oppenheimer”), Simon Abkarian (“Casino Royale”), and Dar Zuzovsky (“The Saints”) co-star.
