British-Belgian series The Missing nominated for three Baftas

The British-Belgian co-production The Missing has been nominated for three Bafta awards, including Best Actor (James Nesbitt), Best Supporting Actor (Ken Stott) and Best Drama Series.

The BBC TV series was shot in Brussels and Huy and also features Belgian actors, including Titus De Voogdt (22nd of May) and Hilde Heijnen (Parade’s End). Co-produced by the Brussels-based Czar, the eight-part series is about a British couple whose five-year-old son goes missing while the family is on holiday in France. The production was supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter for filmmaking and the Screen Flanders fund.

The Baftas are Britain’s annual awards for film and television, and the TV awards ceremony will be held on 26 April. The Missing will air in Belgium on TV channel Eén from 21 April.
