LOS ANGELES, California - October 8, 2025 - Today, premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ announced it has secured rights for the US, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Latin America to Vanished, a four-part mystery thriller series from AGC Television, a division of Stuart Ford's prolific independent content studio AGC Studios.

"We are thrilled to make MGM+ the home for Vanished in the U.S.," said Michael Wright, head of MGM+.

When a couple's trip to Paris takes a dark turn with the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) aboard a train to the south of France, Alice (Cuoco) is plunged into a web of intrigue and danger, uncovering shocking secrets about the man she thought she knew.
