The Gone

The past and the present can both cast a long shadow. This taut, mystery drama is a deftly crafted, character-driven drama starring Richard Flood (Grey’s Anatomy). Leaning into real-world events and featuring stunning scenery and drops of dark humour, The Gone is a gripping and thought-provoking contemporary detective drama.

Season 1: Richard Flood plays Theo Richter; an Irish Special Branch detective who heads to New Zealand to help search for two young Irish tourists who have vanished without a trace. They’ve gone missing from Mount Affinity, a picturesque rural town with a dark history of disappearance and death that has recently become home to supposedly altruistic tech conglomerate Houkura – dividing the local population.

Season 2: Having solved the case of a missing Irish couple, Detective Theo Richter is about to leave Mt Affinity and board a plane back home to Ireland, when he discovers that Irish journalist Aileen Ryan has gone missing. He pairs up once more with Kiwi Detective Diana Huia, who leads a desperate search for Aileen.
