Peacock is going straight to series on The Missing, a crime drama from David E. Kelley. There will be eight episodes and Kelley will be showrunner, writer and executive producer.

The Missing, based on the Dror A. Mishani novel The Missing File, is a co-production from Keshet Studios and Universal Television. It tells the story of NYPD Detective Avraham Avraham, whose belief in mankind is his superpower when it comes to uncovering the truth. Guided by a deep sense of spirituality and religious principles, Avraham is left to question his own humanity when a seemingly routine investigation turns upside down.

“We are incredibly fortunate to bring this series to Peacock audiences led by iconic producer David E. Kelley, who has shepherded some of today’s most buzzworthy dramas,” said Lisa Katz, president of scripted content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “We’re looking forward to partnering with Keshet Studios alongside Universal Television to bring this compelling, soulful mystery to life.”

Dror A. Mishani, Matthew Tinker, Keshet Studios’ Peter Traugott, Keshet International’s Alon Shrutzman, Keshet Media Group’s Avi Nir and Keshet Broadcasting’s Karni Ziv are executive producing the series.

“I was riveted by Dror’s novels and the character of Avraham Avraham, and jumped at the opportunity to bring both to life,” commented Kelley.

Published in Hebrew in 2011 and in the US in 2013, The Missing File is the first in a series of four novels featuring inspector Avraham Avraham.

Starz will air a sequel to its limited series The Missing, the network said Tuesday.

The eight-part second season of the Golden Globe nominated limited series will follow a new case with new characters and new location, said Starz. Harry and Jack Williams will again pen the series for Starz.

The first season of The Missing, currently airing on Starz, focuses on the search for a missing five-year old. The final episode of the current season will air Jan. 10.

The series garnered two Golden Globe nominations including one for best mini-series or motion picture made for television.

“The remarkably talented Williams brothers crafted a beautifully complex and heart wrenching story with ‘The Missing’ and while the story, character and locations will be different in this new iteration, we anticipate the same captivating long-form storytelling and character development that critics and viewers have responded so well to,” said Starz Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik in a statement. “We have been thrilled with the critical response and look forward to continuing our terrific collaboration with the BBC, New Pictures and Playground Entertainment.”
