Prime Video has revealed first-look images and a premiere date for Vanished, a four-part mystery thriller starring Kaley Cuoco and Sam Claflin. The limited series will land on 27th February 2026 as a binge release in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, while viewers in the US and other territories can catch it weekly on MGM+ starting 1st February.

Set against the backdrop of a romantic getaway gone wrong, Vanished follows Alice (Cuoco) after her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) disappears without a trace aboard a train to the south of France. What begins as a love story quickly spirals into something much darker, as Alice uncovers shocking secrets and finds herself pulled into a web of danger and deceit.

The international cast includes Karin Viard, Matthias Schweighöfer, Simon Abkarian and Dar Zuzovsky. The series was shot on location in Marseille and Paris, directed by Barnaby Thompson (Pixie, St Trinian’s), and written by Preston Thompson. Cuoco also serves as executive producer alongside a team that includes David Kosse, James Clayton and AGC Studios’ Stuart Ford.

With its European setting, twisty plot and compelling leads, Vanished is set to deliver an addictive, high-stakes thriller when it drops this February.
