The Search Ends. the Mystery Begins. Starz to Premiere FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE SEARCH ENDS. THE MYSTERY BEGINS. STARZ TO PREMIERE “THE MISSING” ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH AT 8PM ET/PT New Key Art Teases the Second Installment of the Critically-Acclaimed Limited Series Beverly Hills, Calif., December 15, 2016 – Starz announced today that the second installment of the Golden Globe® and Emmy® award-nominated thriller, “The Missing” will premiere on Sunday, February 12, 2017 at 8PM ET/PT on STARZ. Produced by New Pictures in association with Two Brothers Pictures and Playground for BBC One and Starz, the 8-episode limited series, written by Harry and Jack Williams (“Rellik,” “Fleabag”) and solely directed by Ben Chanan, introduces a new case with new characters in a new location. The highly-anticipated, shocking finale of “The Missing” recently aired in the United Kingdom on November 30th to nearly 8 million viewers, and the episode maintained a steady #1 top-trending spot among discussions on Twitter that night. The second installment has received praise from critics and audiences alike in the United Kingdom. The Guardian called it “the most grisly, gripping show on television” and the Daily Telegraph applauded the “haunting, heartfelt performances.” Starz also released the official limited series key art with the tagline, “The search ends. The mystery begins.” The image depicts the mysterious return of Alice Webster, foreshadowing how little is known of her disappearance, and the secrets she might hold, about the unsolved case of another missing girl. The anthology series follows parents Sam (David Morrissey) and Gemma Webster (Keeley Hawes), whose daughter, Alice, went missing in 2003. Eleven years later, a young British woman stumbles through the streets of her German hometown and announces herself as Alice Webster (Abigail Hardingham), the girl who went missing over a decade prior. Alice’s sudden return causes ripples of suspicion through the small community, especially when it is revealed she may hold vital clues to the whereabouts of another missing girl, Sophie Giroux, who vanished shortly before Alice. Haunted by the unsolved Giroux case, French detective Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) is motivated out of retirement to follow new information that Alice may have on Sophie’s disappearance. Told across three timelines, flitting between 2014 and the present day, we follow Alice’s family as they are thrown into a turmoil Above: David Morrissey (“Britannia,” “The Walking Dead”) as Sam that threatens to tear them apart at the seams. Webster in the second installment of STARZ’ “The Missing.” The first installment of “The Missing” premiered on STARZ in 2014 and was hugely successful among viewers and critics, receiving two Golden Globe® award nominations and one Emmy® award nomination.

  • 1 Two Richard II Films, Directed by Rupert Goold (2012) and Gregory
    Two Richard II films, directed by Rupert Goold (2012) and Gregory Doran (2013) Arlynda Boyer University of Toronto [email protected] Richard II, episode 1 of the BBC mini-series The Hollow Crown. Directed by Rupert Goold. With Ben Whishaw (Richard II), Patrick Stewart (John of Gaunt), Rory Kinnear (Henry Bolingbroke), David Suchet (Duke of York), Tom Hughes (Duke of Aumerle), James Purefoy (Thomas Mowbray), David Morrissey (Earl of Northumberland). Richard II. Based on a production by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Directed by Gregory Doran. With David Tennant (Richard II), Michael Pennington (John of Gaunt), Nigel Lindsay (Henry Bolingbroke), Oliver Ford Davies (Duke of York), Oliver Rix (Duke of Aumerle), Jane Lapotaire (Duchess of Gloucester), Antony Byrne (Thomas Mowbray), Sean Chapman (Earl of Northumberland). Gregory Doran, director of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2013 film of Richard II starring David Tennant, has noted that between the Stratford and London runs of the original stage production and the multiple worldwide cinema showings, his production has a plausible claim to being the single most-watched Shakespeare production in history.1 Producers of Rupert Goold’s Richard II starring Ben Whishaw, screened as part of the Hollow Crown mini-series shown on the BBC and PBS, might challenge that claim. Both are now available on DVD and both will likely find their way into classrooms. Since the films were directed with almost diametrically opposed visions, teachers may want to use clips from both by way of contrast when discussing interpretations of the play with students. It is thus worth considering the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Leslie McMurtry Swansea University Doctor Who, Steampunk, and the Victorian Christmas “It’s everywhere these days, isn’t it? Anime, Doctor Who, novel after novel involving clockwork and airships.” --Catherynne M. Valente1 Introduction It seems nearly every article or essay on Neo-Victorianism must, by tradition, begin with a defence of the discipline and an explanation of what is currently encompassed by the term— or, more likely, what is not. Since at least 2008 and the launch of the interdisciplinary journal Neo-Victorian Studies, scholars have been grappling with a catch-all definition for the term. Though it is appropriate that Mark Llewellyn should note in his 2008 “What Is Neo-Victorian Studies?” that “in bookstores and TV guides all around us what we see is the ‘nostalgic tug’ that the (quasi-) Victorian exerts on the mainstream,” Imelda Whelehan is right to suggest that the novel is the supreme and legitimizing source2.
