The first series was commissioned in July 2008 to be broadcast during afternoons, and alongside a new series of Missing Live,[2] which follows the work of the police and a missing persons charity searching for people who go missing.
A second series was commissioned in October 2009. BBC daytime controller Liam Keelan commented: "We have seen how successful combining drama and factual programming has been in BBC Daytime - extending the run of Missing will create an even greater sense of event."[3]
