Netflix's 'horrific' missing person series climbing charts despite 'enraging' viewers
Netflix's newest true crime offering is creating a massive buzz, shooting up the viewing rankings – though subscribers should brace themselves for the fury it's sparking.
This compelling three-episode documentary dropped on the streaming service in July and has quickly soared to become one of the most-watched new programmes, currently ranked fourth amongst series.
The show's meteoric rise has even triggered the emergence of fresh information about the haunting case that remains active.
The documentary, called Amy Bradley is Missing, is must-see television for anyone captivated by disturbing true crime stories.
Amy Bradley, a graduate of Longwood University, was just 23 years old when she disappeared from the cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas in March 1998. At first, authorities believed she might have gone overboard or ended her own life, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Though she's still missing, purported sightings of Bradley in locations including Curaçao, Barbados, and San Francisco have sparked theories that she could have fallen victim to human trafficking networks.
Netflix's documentary has rekindled public fascination with Bradley's disappearance, with her relatives revealing "thousands" of new tips have come forward, yet her whereabouts remain unknown.
Viewer responses to the programme have been passionate, with numerous people voicing their fury over how the investigation was conducted. A particularly incensed viewer took to X to express their frustration: "Watching Amy Bradley is Missing makes me wanna SCREAM wym you didn't make an announcement or keep passengers from getting off the boat???
"Wym people kept seeing her yet no one could find her??? Wym none of these tourists called the cops or FBI???"
Another viewer shared their irritation online: "Has anyone watched Amy Bradley Is Missing? on Netflix cuz I watched it last night and I'm p***ed off.
"Like I haven't even watched the last episode because I'm so annoyed at everyone involved in this case."

One user shared their heartache: "Amy Bradley is missing was so sad, that cruise director they were interviewing made me so angry every time he was on screen."
Echoing the sentiment, another added: "Finished watching Amy Bradley Is Missing and the cruise director is such an a**hole. He doesn't have any compassion for what happened."
Google users who reviewed the series labelled it as "gripping and compelling", with another stating: "Very interesting content that makes you think about the dangers of cruising.
"But also breaks your heart for this family and this young lady."
Yet, some viewers have taken issue with the documentary's reliance on "conspiracy theories" and rampant speculation.
A critical comment read: "Amy Bradley is missing documentary is missing a lot of things. Too much speculations, less facts."

Meghan Markle shares first look at new Netflix show with huge stars
Meghan Markle has shared a first look at the second series of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan. The first-look trailer for the second series of Meghan Markle's lifestyle programme With Love, Meghan has been released - and it's due to broadcast in just days. The preview reveals Meghan accompanied by various celebrity guests for the programme's second run, which faced harsh criticism from reviewers previously. Posting the teaser on Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex wrote alongside the trailer: "The best moments are made to be shared. With Love, Meghan returns August 26th on @netflix." In the brief clip, Queer Eye favourite Tan France and Chrissy Teigen feature as visitors to Meghan's home. The footage displayed Meghan preparing meals and baking alongside her famous pals, reports the Mirror. "I love the idea of just spending time together... and finding new ways to show people you care. There are easy ways to show up, lovingly." The trailer emerges just hours after news broke that Meghan alongside spouse Prince Harry have secured a fresh "multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects" with Netflix. With Love, Meghan's debut series launched in March but struggled to enter the top 300 most-viewed programmes on the streaming service during the opening half of 2025. Throughout the eight-episode inaugural season, the former Suits star offers entertaining advice and prepares dishes with celebrity companions including The Office favourite Mindy Kaling, to whom Meghan mentions she now uses the surname Sussex. Harry made a solitary appearance in the final episode of the first season, joining Meghan, her mother Doria Ragland and friends for an outdoor celebration. The release of the new trailer coincides with Harry and Meghan's extended TV and film deal, which gives Netflix first refusal on their upcoming projects, a move described by the Sussexes as "extending their creative partnership". Five years ago, the couple secured a lucrative contract, believed to be worth more than 100 million dollars (£74 million), with Netflix after stepping down as senior working royals in 2020. However, this new extension is seen as a downgrade from their previous exclusive rights deal and is thought to be worth significantly less. Meghan, who has a partnership with Netflix for her As Ever brand, stated: "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision." Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, added: "Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself - Harry and Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series. "More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As Ever line consistently selling out in record time. We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together." In other news, it's understood that both Meghan and Harry will feature in a forthcoming short documentary film, Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, on which they serve as executive producers. The film aims to shed light on the lives of orphaned children in Uganda's Masaka region, where the "shadows of the HIV/Aids crisis linger". Netflix shared: "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within goes beyond the viral videos to reveal a vibrant, one-of-a-kind community where orphaned children transform hardship into joy, dancing their way toward healing, belonging and the promise of a brighter future." This follows Harry's decision to step down from Sentebale, the charity he established to assist children orphaned by Aids in Lesotho, after a boardroom dispute with the chairwoman. The Duke, who is contemplating launching a new humanitarian charity, has pledged to maintain his support for young people in the area. Furthermore, there is also "active development" on additional projects with Netflix which "span a variety of content genres", including a feature adaptation of the bestselling romantic novel by Carley Fortune, Meet Me At The Lake.

Hollywood star to host new ITV game show which is already a smash hit around the globe
EX-QUIZ-ITE NEWS Hollywood star to host new ITV game show which is already a smash hit around the globe A GLOBAL quiz phenomenon is coming to ITV on Saturday nights — and chances are, if you've been abroad lately, you have already heard of it. Like The Traitors or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, The Floor is a blockbuster format that's conquered TV markets around the world, including the US, where it's fronted by movie star Rob Lowe. Advertisement 6 The US version of The Floor is currently fronted by movie star Rob Lowe Credit: Dan Smith/FOX Now it's heading for its 25th territory, the UK. The show will land here next year, though ITV bosses are yet to reveal which famous face will be taking the helm in our version. Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's director of entertainment, said: 'The Floor, with its compelling gameplay, is an excellent addition to our roster of existing popular quiz shows across ITV and ITVX.' Originally a Dutch show, it features 81 quiz fanatics facing off in duels on a giant LED floor divided into 81 squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. Advertisement The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize, with each duel upping the stakes and the tension. The Floor has already been a big hit in countries including Australia, Poland and Spain and recently launched in Estonia and Latvia. Over in the US, it has already run for three seasons, and hiring such a big Hollywood name to front it was an instant sign of TV bosses' confidence in the format. Now broadcaster Fox has ordered two more seasons, continuing the format through next year and 2027 in America. Advertisement Sounds like they'll soon be flooring Brit quiz fans, too. The Floor fans love Rob Lowe's new game show - but spot 'rigged' detail with key segment PIERCE IN THE CLUB WITH HELEN 6 Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren appeared together on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight show Credit: Getty PIERCE BROSNAN and Helen Mirren have hit the campaign trail for Netflix's The Thursday Murder Club. The movie adaptation of Richard Osman's crime novel tells the story of a group of pensioners whose hobby of investigating unsolved killings explodes when a real-life murder lands on their patch. Advertisement The book is set in a quiet village in Kent – but if Pierce and Helen's glam appearance on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight show in the US is anything to go by, their film will be more Hollywood than humdrum. Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie also star, with the movie debuting in cinemas on August 22 before it appears on Netflix on August 28. KATH IS OFF TO A FLYER 6 Katherine Kelly will play the role of a flight attendant for new Channel 4 drama In Flight Credit: Channel 4 / Peter Marley DON'T be surprised if Katherine Kelly's role as a flight attendant for new Channel 4 drama In Flight is ultra convincing.

'I have a friend who is senior cabin crew, so I was lucky enough to shadow her for a day.' The drama, which continues tonight at 9pm, follows single mum Jo, who is coerced into smuggling drugs for a dangerous criminal gang in a desperate bid to keep her son safe. Advertisement Katherine added: 'I just hope people are going to enjoy it because that's what the thrill is all about.'

The revelation appears in his new documentary Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, which begins next week on BBC Three. Advertisement John, who's also the father of champion boxer Tyson Fury, says in the first episode of the much-anticipated series: 'I knew from dealing with Tyson that when the drinking started to come into play, I thought 'Not again'. 'Molly came to me with this stuff, and I said, 'What you're best off doing with him, Molly, is walking away because if he is not gonna change himself, he doesn't think that much of you, does he?'' In the show, fighter Tommy discusses alleged infidelities prior to their brief split last year, but he maintains: 'The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol.' FAN ALEX IS PITCH PERFECT 6 Funnyman Alex Brooker is set to feature on a new footie quiz Credit: Rex Advertisement ALEX BROOKER is kicking off a new football-themed quiz. The Last Leg funnyman will pit three diehard supporters against a team of sporting legends and celebrity fans to see who comes out on top. With the working title Call Yourself A Fan?, the show aims to echo the spirit of Soccer AM and Fantasy Football League. Gary Neville's Buzz 16 production company is behind the new show, which does not have a broadcaster confirmed yet. Advertisement But execs say it's a 'fast-paced format packed with laughs', with 'fierce competition, tantalising trivia, and a whole lot of nonsense, all held together by a brilliant host and a studio audience.' Sounds like a winner.

Guests and release date revealed for second season of Meghan's lifestyle show
The teaser, which Meghan also shared on her Instagram, revealed that the next instalment of With Love, Meghan will air in two weeks' time on August 26. Among the celebrity guests joining the former Suits star during the eight episodes will be US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Also appearing will be chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres and David Chang, and Meghan's close friends, pilates instructor Heather Dorak and make up artist Daniel Martin. The best moments are made to be shared ✨ With Love, Meghan returns on August 26th! — Netflix (@netflix) August 12, 2025 The trailer, to the soundtrack of Bobby Day's upbeat Rockin' Robin, showed Meghan cooking, baking and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: 'I love the idea of just spending time together … and finding new ways to show people you care.' She adds while being shown wrapping a gift: 'There are easy ways to show up, lovingly.' Meghan also reveals the Duke of Sussex is not a fan of lobster. She tells Andres as they prepare a dish together: 'Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband,' with the chef replying, prompting laughter from Meghan: 'And you marry (sic) him?' Harry and Meghan have signed a new first look deal with Netflix (Aaron Chown/PA) On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced a 'multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects', in contrast to their reported 100 million dollar (£74 million) contract five years ago. PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski described it as a 'downgrade', and suggested Netflix was 'pivoting away' from Harry and Meghan. Season one of With Love, Meghan was savaged by critics. One review in The Guardian described it as a 'gormless lifestyle filler' and 'so pointless it might be the Sussexes' last TV show'. The series has a 3.2 rating out of 10 on Netflix said at the time that the second season had already finished filming. The duchess officially launched her lifestyle brand As Ever, in which Netflix is a partner, just hours after season one premiered in March. She has gone on to sell jam, pre-made baking mixes, herbal tea and rose wine – as well as flower sprinkles, which she heavily promoted during the programme and which are also seen being used in the new trailer. Netflix said 'Meghan draws on her years of home cooking, entertaining, and all-around people pampering' for the Montecito-based show. The trailer shows Meghan embracing France, who tells her after unwrapping a gift: 'That is actually giving me goosebumps. That is so lovely.' Meghan is also filmed cutting a loaf of fresh bread and remarking: 'Look at that.' Andres tells the duchess everyone should have a serrano ham holder at home, with an unsure Meghan replying: 'You think so?' Shetty's appearance will raise speculation Meghan could be a possible future guest on his popular On Purpose mental health podcast. Seemingly confronted with a basket of assorted flower sprinkles and dried fruit, Shetty is seen saying: 'I have no idea where to start.' Make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, who interviewed Meghan for her podcast and also appeared on the duchess's Confessions Of A Female Founder series, also appears briefly in trailer in a segment filmed outside. Teigen, who has a podcast called Self-Conscious and a cookware and baking brand, meanwhile, tells Meghan as they make tiny flower pendants 'Oh my gosh I could do this everyday' and later adds: 'Little things like this make me so happy.' Meghan is also pictured taking part in a pottery throwing lesson with long-time friend Dorak. Near the end of the one minute and 27 second trailer, Meghan says: 'I love these moments of discovery and beauty. So let's be curious together.'
