Vanished turns release dates into a suspenseful game

Vanished will arrive in the United States on MGM+ on February 1, 2026, one weekly episode at a time. Internationally, the series will drop on Amazon Prime Video on February 27, 2026, offering binge-ready viewers an entire four-part thrill ride at once.

This staggered rollout creates a strange hierarchy of suspense where Americans savor agony slowly, and others consume it in one sitting, like candy they should not have, while pondering who made whom wait and why patience is overrated in a world of instant streaming gratification.

As one group chews suspense slowly, the other devours it in a single gulp, setting the stage for a cast whose secrets are as carefully timed as these releases.
