Kaley Cuoco’s Vanished Premieres on MGM+ to Lukewarm Early Reviews

Cuoco serves as star-producer on a France-shot, four-episode mystery now streaming on MGM+.

Overview

  • All four episodes of the MGM+ limited series are available to stream, with the premiere landing on Feb. 1.
  • Critics at Variety and The Hollywood Reporter fault the thriller’s rushed four-episode structure and tonal imbalance.
  • Cuoco’s performance and the on-location visuals in Paris and Marseille draw praise despite broader narrative complaints.
  • The story follows Alice, an archaeologist searching for her boyfriend after he disappears during a romantic getaway, with Sam Claflin co-starring.
  • Cuoco says she initially hesitated to film abroad due to family concerns but moved forward with support from her partner while also serving as an executive producer.
