MISSED CALL: CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCES NEW FIVE-PART THRILLER

Five-part thriller from French production company Pernel Media; the creators of 5 drama The Au Pair. 

After a worrying late-night missed call from her daughter who is on a school exchange, single mother Sarah travels to the idyllic French village her daughter is meant to be staying in. 

However, Sarah arrives to find the host family and local police disturbingly unconcerned. Dismissed as a typical teenage disappearance, Katie’s case is ignored—but Sarah knows something is wrong.

Her search quickly spirals into a tense and dangerous race against time to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Deputy Chief Content Officer and Head of Scripted, Paramount UK, Sebastian Cardwell said: “We’re incredibly proud to unveil this new slate of scripted commissions, which showcases the breadth and ambition of 5’s storytelling. From brand new thrillers and character-driven mysteries to the much-anticipated return of audience favourites, we’re continuing to build a rich and distinctive drama offering."

More details will be announced in due course.
