Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.

  1. Agent Kim Reactivated poster

    Closest match

    Netflix · Jun 27, 2026

    Agent Kim Reactivated

    IMDb 7.9

    Why this fits: Agent Kim Reactivated keeps the same kind of urgent, personal drive as Last Seen, where one call drags a parent into action. A father’s buried secret and a missing child push the tension forward fast, with workplace pressure and danger rising in tight, miniseries-sized bursts.

    • missing child
    • family secret
  2. I Will Find You poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Jun 18, 2026

    I Will Find You

    IMDb 7.4

    Why this fits: I Will Find You hits the same nerve as Last Seen, a father refusing to let a missing child become a closed case. The story moves episode to episode with relentless urgency, forcing him deeper into danger as secrets unravel, and it stays more compressed and stranger than the police-adjacent grief of Last Seen.

    • wrongful conviction
    • father on the run
  3. Blood Sacrifice poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Aug 20, 2026

    Blood Sacrifice

    Why this fits: Blood Sacrifice shares Last Seen’s focus on a parent-shaped obsession, but it turns the heat into a serial-killer hunt. Father-son detectives work under the threat of more officer deaths, trading warmth for sharp friction and escalating danger, so the pacing feels darker and more violent than the single, desperate call that drives Last Seen.

    • serial killer
    • corrupt cops
  4. Sheriff Country poster

    Deeper cut

    CBS · Feb 27, 2026

    Sheriff Country

    IMDb 6.6
    Why this fits

    Sheriff Country leans into small-town casework where workplace authority collides with family conflict, including an ex-con father trying to keep his daughter safe. It’s less one-call urgency than Last Seen, but the father-daughter comedy and case-by-case suspense keep the personal cost front and center.

    • small-town casework
    • family conflict
    • father daughter comedy
  5. NCIS: Tony & Ziva poster

    Deeper cut

    Paramount Plus · Sep 4, 2025

    NCIS: Tony & Ziva

    IMDb 7.0
    Why this fits

    NCIS: Tony & Ziva brings high-octane family action, with targeted investigators pushing through an Europe chase while trust rebuilding stays personal. Compared to Last Seen’s obsession-fueled search for a missing child, this one adds more pursuit momentum and workplace rivalry, with danger arriving in bursts.

    • high-octane family action
    • europe chase
    • father daughter comedy
  6. Grace poster

    Deeper cut

    ITVX · Mar 29, 2026

    Grace

    IMDb 7.4
    Why this fits

    Grace is a methodical cold case mystery built around missing spouse pressure and detective obsession, episode by episode. Where Last Seen drives toward family reunion urgency, Grace trades that one-call desperation for unorthodox police legwork and a slower, more procedural hunt for answers.

    • cold case mystery
    • methodical investigations
    • missing spouse
