Apple TV Reveals Trailer for Australian Thriller Last Seen
Apple TV has released the trailer for Last Seen, a new Australian thriller starring Gotham Award winner Patrick Brammall. Produced by 60Forty Films, the gripping drama is adapted by acclaimed writer and executive producer Kris Mrksa from CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-winning author Ryan David Jahn’s book, The Dispatcher.
Emmy Award-nominated filmmaker Christian Schwochow directs and executive-produces the series, which is set entirely in and filmed in Victoria, Australia.
Last Seen 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, Return to 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, 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 BAFTA Award-nominated Down Cemetery Road, starring Academy Award winner Emma Thompson and Golden Globe Award winner Ruth Wilson, among many others.
