THE GONE goes to MIPTV

Produced by Kingfisher Films and Keeper Pictures in association with Southern Light Films, THE GONE, an official Irish/New Zealand co-production, follows Dublin-based Theo Richter, an Irish Special Branch detective, as he heads to New Zealand to help search for two young Irish tourists who have vanished without a trace. He teams up with Kiwi cop Diana Huia, a young Māori detective to find the missing couple. They’ve gone missing from Mount Affinity, a picturesque rural town with a dark history of disappearances and death that has recently become home to supposedly altruistic tech conglomerate Houkura, creating divisions within the local community.

The Series is Directed by Peter Meteherangi Tikao Burger (One Lane Bridge, Until Proven Innocent, Resolve) and Hannah Quinn (Vikings Valhalla, Blood, The Stranger)
Following its premiere to buyers in Cannes, THE GONE started on TVNZ in New Zealand on the 7th of May to fantastic viewing figures. Irish audiences will have to wait to watch the series when it is included in RTE’s Autumn catalogue.
