This Slept-On Mystery Thriller Is Now A Top Show On Netflix
HuffPost
"Absentia" joins a crime drama spinoff and a cheerleading comedy in this week’s top trending shows.
“Absentia” is one of the top shows on Netflix right now, according to the streamer’s public ranking system.
The mystery thriller, which concluded in 2020, centers on Special Agent Emily Byrne (Stana Katic), who vanishes without a trace while on the hunt for a notorious serial killer. Six years after being declared dead from her disappearance, the FBI agent resurfaces to reclaim her family, identity and clear her name as the prime suspect implicated in a string of new murders.
The ensemble cast of “Absentia” also includes Neil Jackson, Natasha Little, Paul Freeman, Patrick McAuley and Christopher Colquhoun.
“Absentia” originally aired on Prime Video and ran for three seasons before it came to an end. Series lead Katic announced the news in a 2021 Instagram post that read, “Three Seasons was the perfect amount of space for a beautiful, complicated and wonderfully fulfilling journey. We took our protagonist on the path of victim to survivor to … empowered architect of her own future.”
She added: “And although we’ve danced with the idea of continuing the tale, ‘ABSENTIA’ was always meant to be only 3 seasons, & I couldn’t think of a better note to end on.”
