Kaley Cuoco is set to star in the upcoming mystery thriller series Vanished, produced by AGC Television. The series was announced at Series Mania in Lille, France.

Peaky Blinders star Sam Claflin, Polisse actress Karin Viard, and Oppenheimer‘s Matthias Schweighöfer will feature in the series alongside Cuoco.

The logline details: “When a romantic getaway to Paris takes a dark turn with the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) aboard a train to the south of France, Alice (Cuoco) is plunged into a web of intrigue and danger, uncovering shocking secrets about the man she thought she knew.”

Barnaby Thompson of Fragile Films is set to direct the series and serve as an executive producer. He is joined by James Clayton of Slow Burn Entertainment, David Kosse of Rockwood Pictures, and AGC’s Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz, and Miguel A. Palos Jr.

The series was created by David Hilton and Preston Thompson, with Thompson also serving as the writer. AGC Television is funding the series’ production and is acting as a co-producer. They are currently in the advanced stages of working out a co-production deal with ARD Degeto.

Cuoco is best known for her role as Penny in the hit sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, which ended in 2019. The series started in 2007 and ran for 12 seasons. Recently, she starred in The Flight Attendant, a series adapted from Chris Bohjalian’s book of the same name. The dark comedy earned her nominations for Golden Globes, Emmys, and Critics Choice Awards. She is currently starring in Peacock’s Based on a True Story, which is in its second season.

Claflin starred in the Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & The Six, which was based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name. The Me Before You actor is also set to appear in another Amazon series, Lazarus.
