Tcheky Karyo as Julien Baptiste

Sun., Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. on WKAR-HD 23.1 & STREAMING | In an all-new season, follow retired detective Julien Baptiste as he delves into Budapest’s corrupt underworld.

A spinoff of The Missing, Baptiste returns for a second season that follows Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) as he frantically attempts to locate a British Ambassador’s family who went missing on a skiing holiday in the Hungarian mountains.

Ambassador Emma Chambers, played by Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), is thrust into the crosshairs of Baptiste’s most complex case to date, as the detective navigates an untrustworthy police force and international media interest as he hunts for her husband and two sons.

Watch each episode at video.wkar.org during or after the premiere date.
