In the past decade, police dramas and docuseries have been appraised widely. Alert: Missing Persons Unit by John Eisendrath and Jamie Foxx is another of these trending crime dramas, only significantly unique and popular.
Not only does Alert: Missing Persons Unit revolve around the cases of missing people, it also incorporates heartbreaking shocks and thrilling suspense points into it. Making the series stand out from the lot, the creators have made each second count–as the poster claims. Now, Fox has shared the good news with the fans of this crime drama series. All details regarding Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 2 are below!
Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 2
Not a reality show but quite close to one, Alert is a police procedural drama that investigates the cases of missing people and tries to get them unscathed. Often, that’s not the case and these missing people end up falling prey to deadly monsters. The series portrays the journey from registering a missing person’s report to gathering the evidence and closing the case. More importantly, it lets us in on the thrill and threat of solving a case.
Recently, Fox’s executives confirmed the return of the Alert series, appraising it for its unique storyline. With that said, they moved on to announce that Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 2 is already in production. However, they didn’t confirm a release date. Given the production time and the timeframe in which season 1 was released in Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 2 will probably arrive in early 2024.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 2: Are Jason And Nikki Returning?
Season 1 was centred around the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Person Unit. Jason Grant, portrayed by Scott Caan, and Nikki Batista, enacted by Dania Ramirez, are the officials of this department. Not only these officers strived hard to investigate the missing person’s cases, but they also had personal issues to solve. Their son, Keith, was abducted by a psychopath and was on the verge of extinction.
At the end of Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 1, Keith was found dead and Jason and Nikki were heartbroken. This ex-husband-and-wife duo have been through a lot as it is, would they arrive again? Or would this season be centred around different officers? We have been wondering the same. Fox has only confirmed the return of the series so far, not the release date or the return of the cast.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 1 Review: An Anthology Of Missing Person Cases Made Quite Interesting
Alert season 1 surprisingly didn’t perform as well as the makers expected it to. It didn’t receive optimistic feedback from the viewers. And yet, Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 1 became Fox’s most-watched series. The cast ensemble was appraised widely and the storyline was appreciated as well. This weekly running series didn’t fulfil the viewers’ expectations in terms of pace and finesse.
The series does have its downsides but it has done a stellar job of compiling missing people cases. The added element of Keith’s abduction and the heart-wrenching end of season 1 serve as the icing on the cake. Premiering once a week, revealing tidbits of information regarding the psychopath who kidnapped Keith seems to be a smart move. And despite having mixed reviews from the critics, it has certainly left its imprint.
