WGN America announced today that the captivating limited series “The Disappearance” will premiere on Tuesday, July 9th at 10PM. The network also released the first full-length trailer from the psychological family drama.
The six-part summer event starring Emmy(R) winner Peter Coyote (“The 4400,” “Law & Order: LA“), Camille Sullivan (“The Man in the High Castle“) and Aden Young (“Rectify,” Killer Elite) centers around the unexplained and sudden disappearance of a 10-year-old boy, and the investigation that leaves a devastating and unforeseen impact on every member of the family.
