"However, when the case turns into something far more brutal and desperate, Julien must navigate a Hungarian police force he doesn’t trust and unrelenting media who are hungry for information on such a high-profile international case. Julien must remain rational in the face of chaos in order to find Emma’s family. Will he be able to solve his most complex case yet?"
Are you looking forward to the show's return?
The series is a spin-off from the hit show The Missing, focusing on the lead detective throughout the two series. Season one of Baptiste is set two years after the events of the original show, and follows the detective as he searches for a missing sex worker in Amsterdam after her uncle reports her missing.
