Express Entertainment's latest offering, Missing Darling, brings a fresh and bold take on Pakistani cop dramas, claiming its place in viewers' primetime slot. Airing every Sunday at 8:00pm, the show stars Yasir Hussain, Umer Aalam, Mohib Mirza, Nausheen Shah, Mareeha Safdar, and Kiran Ashfaque.

Missing Darling brings back Inspector Sajid from Express Entertainment's hit drama Aik Thi Laila, who is just as fearless and determined as ever. At its heart, the drama tells a story of secrets, broken trust, and questions that refuse to stay buried.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The story begins with the disappearance of a famous TikToker, Naina, who goes by the name "Darling." What starts as a missing persons case quickly becomes something far darker. Inspector Sajid, played with quiet intensity by Hussain, throws himself into the investigation, and with every episode, the truth becomes harder to handle.

The plot gets thicker as dead bodies turn up, and another young woman goes missing. With everyone pointing fingers and not telling the full truth, the plot unfolds with mystery at every turn.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Shedding light on matters that may often be overlooked, Missing Darling stands out for its realistic take on crime. Looking closely at topics that are hushed-up in society, such as a woman surviving on her own and breaking the norm by working in a male-dominated field, the drama is honest and raw, with strong emotion at its core.

With an unapologetic lean into suspense and dark twists, Missing Darling is the kind of drama that stays with you long after the episodes end.
