Apple TV on Wednesday revealed a first look at new six-episode Australian thriller “Last Seen” (FKA “The Dispatcher”), starring Gotham Award winner Patrick Brammall and adapted by acclaimed writer and executive producer Kris Mrksa from CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-winning author Ryan David Jahn’s book, “The Dispatcher.” “Last Seen,” set and filmed in Victoria, Australia, is directed and executive produced by Emmy Award-nominated filmmaker Christian Schwochow and will make its global debut on Wednesday, September 9 with two episodes, followed by a new episode every Wednesday until October 7, 2026. Police detective Ian Ridley’s (Brammall) life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter, Maggie, disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost. In addition to Brammall (“Colin from Accounts,” “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” “Evil”), the series also stars Maxine Peake (“Say Nothing,” “Black Mirror”), Brendan Cowell (“Dune: Prophecy,” “Plum”), Daniel Henshall (“Mickey 17,” “How to Make Gravy”), Jessica Wren (“Mr Inbetween,” “Devil’s Playground”), Zahra Newman (“Thirteen Lives,” “Addition”) and newcomer Chloe Jean Lourdes. The series is executive produced by Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta at 60Forty Films (“Hijack,” “Slow Horses,” “Down Cemetery Road”), with executive producers Schwochow (“The Crown,” “Bad Banks,” “Munich: The Edge of War”), Mrksa (“Requiem,” “No Escape,” “The Murders at White House Farm”) and Joanna Werner (“The Newsreader,” “Riot,” “Clickbait”) at Werner Film Productions. “Last Seen” joins a slate of acclaimed, thrilling dramas on Apple TV including the high-octane hit “Hijack,” starring and executive produced by SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Idris Elba; beloved, multi-BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning “Slow Horses,” led by Academy Award winner Gary Oldman; and the recently renewed, BAFTA Award-nominated “Down Cemetery Road,” starring Academy Award winner Emma Thompson and Golden Globe Award winner Ruth Wilson.
