The filmed-in-Pittsburgh drama series “Gone” finally will air on U.S. television with its 9 p.m. Feb. 27 premiere on cable’s WGN America.
The 12-episode procedural drama starring Chris Noth (“The Good Wife”) filmed in Western Pennsylvania in 2017 and aired in Europe in early 2018. “Gone” was canceled after its first season. The series was an international co-production among NBCUniversal International Studios, Germany’s RTL and France’s TF1 and was executive produced by Western Pennsylvania native Kim Moses (“Ghost Whisperer”).
Based on Chelsea Cain’s novel “One Kick,” “Gone” follows Kit “Kick” Lannigan (Leven Rambin, “True Detective,” “All My Children”), survivor of a child abduction case, who teams up years later with FBI agent Frank Booth (Mr. Noth) to become part of a special task force that investigates abduction and missing persons cases. “Gone” also stars Ross native Andy Mientus (“Smash”).
WGN America previously was home to the filmed-in-Pittsburgh drama “Outsiders,” which was canceled after two seasons when the network was in the process of being sold to Sinclair Broadcast Group. Tribune Media canceled that sale in August.
