What's the Story?

NEVER SEEN AGAIN is a docuseries covering real-life disappearance cases. It tells the stories of people, including children, who vanished through heartbreaking interviews with the family and friends still searching for answers, as well as the investigators who continue to work the cases years later.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

A heartbreaking show to watch, as family members talk openly about the pain of losing loved ones and never knowing what happened to them. Never Seen Again is scary, especially in episodes involving cases that happen in other countries, where victims can't seem to get help from local authorities and American authorities have no jurisdiction at a time when minutes count in getting their family members back. The emotional impact is strong and persistent across episodes.
