Maddie’s quest to unravel the truth behind her mysterious disappearance has resonated with viewers, and we can’t wait to continue this thrilling journey with them.” 

The graphic novel on which the series is based by Nate Trinrud, Megan Trinrud and Maria Nguyen is still set for a November 14 release. The series is produced by Awesomeness Studios while the Trinuds serve as writers and executive producers. They also wrote the pilot. Oliver Goldstick serves as showrunner and executive producer. Season 2 will not go into production until 2024, likely due at least in part to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike and potential ones for the Directors Guild of America and the actors in SAG-AFTRA.
