Apple TV has released the first look at gripping new Australian thriller ‘Last Seen’, a six-part drama starring Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts) and adapted from Ryan David Jahn’s CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-winning novel The Dispatcher.
Previously known as The Dispatcher, Last Seen comes from acclaimed writer and executive producer Kris Mrksa (Requiem) and is directed and executive produced by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Christian Schwochow (The Crown). The series was set and filmed in Victoria, Australia, and lands globally on Apple TV this September.
The thriller follows police detective Ian Ridley, whose life collapsed 11 years earlier when his young daughter, Maggie, vanished without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, Ian has survived only by clinging to the belief that she may still be alive. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is convinced is Maggie, Ian is pulled back into the nightmare that destroyed his family, and will stop at nothing to find her.
Alongside Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts), the cast includes Maxine Peake (Say Nothing), Brendan Cowell (Dune: Prophecy), Daniel Henshall (Mickey 17), Jessica Wren (Mr Inbetween), Zahra Newman (Thirteen Lives) and newcomer Chloe Jean Lourdes.
Behind the scenes, the series is executive produced by Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta at 60Forty Films, whose credits include Hijack, Slow Horses and Down Cemetery Road. Schwochow, Mrksa and Joanna Werner (The Newsreader) also executive produce, with Werner Film Productions producing.
Last Seen joins Apple TV’s growing line-up of thrillers and dramas, sitting alongside shows such as Hijack, Slow Horses and Down Cemetery Road.
‘Last Seen’ premieres Wednesday, 9th September 2026 on Apple TV.
