    The season 1, about a father’s years-long quest to find his 5-year-old son who disappeared during a family holiday in France, received rave reviews from around the world. The anthology series is now back with a dramatic and riveting season 2 as detective Julien Baptiste returns to pursue the case of Alice Webster played by Abigail Hardingham. In 2003, Alice was abducted from an English school near a military base in Eckhausen, Germany. And now, 11 years later, she stumbles back in to the same town having apparently escaped her captors. And we face the ultimate question of what happened to her?

    Alice’s sudden disappearance 11 years ago left her family in trauma. Her father, Sam became emotionally wrecked and grew apart from the rest of his family.

    Julien Baptiste, the renowned French missing persons detective, finds himself unable to let go of his past cases in order to settle into retirement. The return of Alice Webster is an event that goes right to his heart, and he races out of his own jurisdiction to pursue a 12 year-old case that he refused to let die.

    ‘This Is Us’ Christmas special on Star World Premiere HD

    MUMBAI: With Christmas right around the corner, Star World Premiere HD is all set to play Santa with the mid-season finale of This is Us. Titled Last Christmas, the episode will air this on 10 December at 10 pm.

    The episode opens in the past where Kate comes down with appendicitis on Christmas Eve and so, the Pearsons take her to the hospital. As they stand by during Kate’s surgery, the family runs into Dr. K, the doctor who delivered Kate and Kevin, who they realize needs some faith and support since he is dying.

    Meanwhile in the present, Kevin is at the Hanukkah celebration with Sloane’s family,Kate and Rebecca visit a doctor to discuss the life-changing surgery that Kate wants to go through, there is a shocking reveal about William’s sexuality and Toby suddenly collapses and is taken under surgery immediately.

    Sterling K. Brown shared, I thought that it was one of our best-written episodes of the season. I felt the way in which we flipped the structure writing-wise – it functions like six one-act plays, instead of going back and forth between the storylines through the show – gives it a breadth that you’re constantly wondering what’s going to happen next. Are we staying with this story line? Are we not going to see everybody today? And then, slowly but surely, we see the cast unfold until we all come together at the end of a pretty nice Christmas – for the most part.”

    This is Us stars Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Ron Cephas Jones.
