Leave it to Kaley Cuoco to turn a romantic Parisian getaway into a full-blown nightmare. The Emmy-nominated star is back in high-gloss thriller mode with Vanished, a sleek, four-episode mystery series set against the City of Light and the sun-drenched south of France. Premiering in February, the series already has TV fans buzzing thanks to a moody new trailer that promises secrets, lies and a disappearance that’s anything but accidental.
Cuoco stars as Alice Monroe, an American woman enjoying what should be an idyllic European escape with her boyfriend Tom, played by Sam Claflin. Then, poof, Tom disappears. No goodbye, no trail, no obvious explanation. What begins as a frantic search quickly spirals into something far more sinister, with Alice uncovering unsettling truths about the man she thought she knew and the dangerous forces now circling her.
If this setup feels tailor-made for Cuoco, that’s because it is. Following the success of The Flight Attendant, Vanished leans into her sweet-but-spiraling screen persona, letting her balance emotional vulnerability with escalating paranoia. She’s compelling, reactive and just messy enough to make the mystery feel grounded, even as the plot veers into international-thriller territory.
The trailer wastes no time selling the vibe: shadowy streets, glamorous locations, cryptic strangers and that ever-present feeling that someone is watching. Paris isn’t just a backdrop here, it’s a character, all beauty and menace, amplifying the tension as Alice’s world collapses. Add in a strong supporting cast, including Karin Viard and Matthias Schweighöfer and Vanished looks primed to scratch that binge-worthy mystery itch.
Premiering in February on MGM+ in the U.S., with international viewers getting the full drop later in the month, Vanished feels engineered for weekend marathons and group-chat theorizing. It’s glossy, pulpy and self-aware enough to know exactly what kind of ride it’s offering.
Between Cuoco’s reliably watchable performance, Claflin’s enigmatic charm and a trailer that screams “nothing is what it seems,” Vanished is shaping up to be one of February’s most intriguing TV events. If you enjoy thrillers where romance curdles, trust evaporates and Paris looks just a little too perfect, this disappearance is worth following. Watch the trailer, pack your emotional baggage and prepare to get lost.
