Created by Bas Adriaensen and Philippe De Schepper, with Bram Renders among the writers, Vermist is a crime drama from Belgium filmed in Flemish Dutch. The Belgian broadcaster VT4 made it together with the Dutch production company Eyeworks. The series began in the spring of 2008, ran for seven seasons and ended in 2016.

In Flanders it aired on VT4 for its first three seasons and then on VIER; in the Netherlands it was shown on Fox. A French-dubbed version called Urgence disparitions was broadcast in France on W9 (from 22 November 2009) and M6 (from 11 January 2011), and in Québec on Séries+ (from 2 September 2009). The series and its actors were nominated for several television awards, including the Radio and Television Critics Award, the Vlaamse Televisie Sterren and the Monte-Carlo Television Festival awards.
