    The search ends. The mystery begins. In 2014, a young British woman stumbles through the streets of her German hometown and collapses. Her name is Alice Webster, and she has been missing for 11 years. Alice's return sends shockwaves through the small community.

    Told in dual timelines flitting between 2014 and the present day, we follow Alice's family as they are thrown back into a turmoil that threatens to tear them apart at the seams. When a French missing-person's detective, Julien Baptiste, races across Europe to pursue a 12-year-old case that he never let die, we begin to explore the murky morality and emotional complexity of what happens when the missing child you've been longing to return to you actually does come back.
Just over a year ago, Anchor Bay Entertainment released DVDs and Blu-rays for The Missing - A Starz Limited Series...what was planned at the time to be a one-time event with 8 episodes. But it was successful enough that more was called for, and in late 2016 Starz aired a new mystery over the course of 8 more episodes, co-produced with the BBC (as the first set of episodes was).

Now Anchor Bay and their new owners at Lionsgate Entertainment (as of the end of last year, when Starz merged with them) have announced that The Missing - Season 2 is coming to DVD on July 11th. Priced at $39.98 SRP, it comes with English SDH and Spanish subtitles. It stars David Morrissey (The Walking Dead,"The Other Boleyn Girl, Blitz), Keeley Hawes (The Avengers, Death at a Funeral), Laura Fraser (A Knight's Tale, Breaking Bad), and Roger Allam (V for Vendetta, The Book Thief). Here's a first look at the cover art:
