This is the second collaboration between 5 and Pernel Media, following the success of <em>The Au Pair<\/em>. ITV Studios is handling distribution of the show, which has been prebought by TF1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe script for <em>Missed Call<\/em> gripped me from the first page; it\u2019s a powerful story about every mother\u2019s worst fear, set in a place that\u2019s stunningly beautiful but weirdly unsettling,&#8221; Scanlan said of the show, which is set against the backdrop of a picturesque French village. &#8220;Sarah is a complex, vibrant and determined woman, and I\u2019m hugely excited to bring her to life in this tense and emotional thriller. It\u2019s a real pleasure to be working with Channel 5 on such a bold and compelling piece of drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paul Testar, commissioning editor at 5, said: \u201c<em>Missed Call<\/em> is an emotionally charged thriller that brings together a phenomenal international cast and a compelling story of maternal determination and cultural clash.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Samuel Kissous, president of Pernel Media, added: &#8220;We have attracted world-class talents with two BAFTA-winning actors and a roster of French and international stars.
