Vanished
Vanished was an hour-long American television drama produced by Twentieth Century Fox. It premiered on August 21, 2006 on FOX and its last episode aired on November 10, 2006. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the series, in serial format, starts with the sudden disappearance of a Georgia senator's wife, which quickly appears to form part of a wider conspiracy. The family of the missing woman, a pair of FBI agents, a journalist and her lover/cameraman, are all drawn into an evolving mystery with political and religious undertones. The show's creator is C.S.I. writer Josh Berman, and its executive producers are Mimi Leder (John Doe, ER), who is also the show's director, and Paul Redford. On December 8, 2006 the final episode of Vanished appeared online.
Fans on message boards all agree that the ending, which includes no real conclusion and a huge cliff hanger, was not intended to be the final episode. The production team were told a few months before the show was taken off the air to at least reveal Sara's fate by the 13th episode, but none of the other plotlines were resolved.
Vanished was the first project to emerge from a four-year creative deal between Josh Berman and 20th Century Fox. In January 2006, the studio ordered the production of the pilot and two additional scripts. It was announced that Gale Harold would star. In April 2006, Vanished became one of two shows to get the early pickup by Fox. The network picked the show up for 12 additional episodes. It was then announced that the show would premiere following Prison Break, in the time slot 24 occupies from January to May.
Shortly thereafter, it was announced that John Allen Nelson would star opposite Harold. On June 19, 2006, it was learned that Penelope Ann Miller would guest star in six episodes and have the option of becoming a regular. It was then announced that Josh Hopkins would guest on several episodes and that Eddie Cibrian would also join the cast. Gale Harold departed the series after the eighth episode after his character was killed off by the show's producers. Eddie Cibrian was named the lead actor of the series beginning with the ninth episode.
On November 15, 2006 Fox announced they were pulling the show for the rest of sweeps but that it would return on December 1, 2006. On November 16, 2006, Fox said that the show would not return to television and the remaining four episodes would be available online only, with one new show added every Friday and the series finale added December 8. Online viewing is available only to U.S. viewers.
