Barry Levinson Set to Direct David E. Kelley's Crime Drama Series THE MISSING at Peacock
Producer David E. Kelley’s upcoming Peacock crime drama The Missing has tapped Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Good Morning, Vietnam, Wizard of Lies, Dopesick) to direct multiple episodes, including the first. He will also executive produce the series.
The series The Missing is based on Dror A. Mishani’s 2011 novel The Missing File, and it “follows Avraham Avraham (Jeff Wilbusch), an NYPD detective whose belief in mankind is his superpower when it comes to uncovering the truth. He is guided by a deep sense of spirituality and religious principles but is left to question his own humanity when a seemingly routine investigation turns upside down. The cast also includes Juliana Canfield as the eager and newly minted NYPD detective Janine Harris, Karen Robinson as the tough and loyal captain Helen Davies and Michael Mosley as the sardonic veteran detective Earl Malzone.”
The Missing was given an eight-episode series order in October 2021. Kelley is set to showrun, write, and executive produce the series. This has some great talent on board, and I like the sound of the synopsis. Will you tune in to watch The Missing?
