STORY
PRODUCTION
In August 2019, a standalone sequel to Searching (2018) was announced to be in development, with the original film’s director, Aneesh Chaganty, clarifying that the story would not “follow the same characters or plot line as the original”, making the series an anthology. In November 2020, producer Natalie Qasabian said the COVID-19 pandemic had postponed production on the film, simply going under the title Searching 2. In January 2021, it was announced that Will Merrick and Nick Johnson, the editors on the first film and Chaganty’s Run (2020), would write and direct the film in their directorial debuts, with additional literary material by Micah Ariel Watson. In the following months, Storm Reid and Nia Long joined the cast. Principal photography took place from March 30 to May 30, 2021, in Los Angeles, California. In September 2022, the film’s title was revealed to be Missing, with the film set for a 2023 release date. In November 2022, producer and co-story writer Sev Ohanian revealed on Reddit that the film would also be set after Run, serving as an epilogue to the events of that film as well as a continuation of Searching.
