Production has been completed on the fifth season of the true-crime doc series Taken<\/em>, which returns after a four-year hiatus.<\/p>\n

The 13×30-minute series from Eagle Vision sheds light on missing or murdered Indigenous people in Canada. It is slated to roll out on APTN and APTN Languages in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaken<\/em> not only raises awareness of the ongoing injustices Indigenous people face but also seeks justice and answers for those who have gone missing or been murdered,\u201d said Dinae Robinson, director and showrunner. \u201cThis series ensures their stories are told with dignity, honoring who they are as individuals, loved and deeply missed by family, friends, and community. By sharing their truths, we shed light on the broader fight for justice while highlighting the critical work being done by community advocates, political leaders, allies and law enforcement to create change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taken<\/em> originally aired on APTN and CBC. It was made possible by APTN, CMF, ISO and Migizi Distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
