British writer George Kay has emerged as one of the key figures behind some of the most-watched television series in recent years. Kay is the co-creator of projects like the French Netflix heist thriller "Lupin," starring Omar Sy, and the fast-paced real-time series "Hijack" on Apple TV. These productions have achieved significant success, earning BAFTA and Emmy nominations, respectively. Additionally, Kay played a crucial role in the creation of the ambitious crime series "Criminal," which spans four countries, and has also written for other series such as "Litvinenko" and "Killing Eve." Earlier this year, he returned with a new British crime drama titled "Gone," and we are excited to showcase this project ahead of its BritBox premiere as part of Collider's Special Summer Preview series.

"Gone" presents a story inspired by Julie Mackay and Robert Murphy's true crime novel "To Hunt a Killer." The series is set in the city of Bristol in the United Kingdom and centers around a disappearance at the prestigious St. Bartholomew's Independent School. The school principal, Michael Polly (David Morrissey), suddenly becomes the prime suspect as the missing person's spouse is Sarah. Brave Detective Sergeant Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles) begins to engage in a cat-and-mouse game with the rigid instructor, who is quickly judged by the media and other police. However, the events reveal a much more complex mystery that questions the concepts of guilt and privilege, forcing Cassidy to collaborate with the principal and adjust her tactics to manage the tense situation.

The two new images we are sharing exclusively highlight the main characters in the investigation process. In the first image, DS Cassidy appears quite anxious while searching for evidence in the woods alongside another officer. On the other hand, Polly maintains a calm demeanor in the interrogation room, despite having his future at stake. Morrissey, who is remembered for his role as "The Governor" in "The Walking Dead," has experience portraying more controlled characters, and he brings that presence to "Gone" as well. However, this calmness will be tested due to what the public believes.
