Alert: Missing Persons Unit: Gil Bellows, Alisha-Marie Ahamed Join Season 2 of Fox Drama
Two new faces will stir up all kinds of fresh drama when Alert: Missing Persons Unit returns to find more “babies.”
TVLine has learned that Ally McBeal vet Gil Bellows and Family Law alum Alisha-Marie Ahamed have booked major roles in Season 2 of the Fox procedural, which premieres Tuesday, March 5.
Ahamed will fill the series-regular role of Wayne Pascal, a master hacker whom Jason (played by Scott Caan) recruits to help out the team, even though she is currently serving a house arrest sentence in a dingy motel. Jason worked with Wayne when he was over in Afghanistan, yet conveeeeeeniently never told then-wife Nikki (Dania Ramirez) that Wayne was a beautiful woman. Oops.
Bellows, meanwhile, will heavily recur in the guest-starring role of Inspector Hollis Braun, Nikki and Jason’s new superior who “has every intention of keeping their antics in line.”
An A-to-Z List of 300+ Scripted Series
For those who need a refresher: Set in the Philadelphia PD’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU), Alert: Missing Persons Unit in each episode chronicles the life-or-death search for a missing person, headed by detectives Jason Grant and Nikki Batista. (Once married, Jason and Nikki have a very personal connection to these cases seeing as their own young son went missing and was never found.)
At MPU, Nikki leads a team that also includes Mike Sherman (Ryan Broussard, Only Murders In The Building), the fiancé with whom she is still planning a wedding; and Kemi Adebayo (Adeola Role, The Blacklist), a spiritually savvy detective. Petey Gibson will return for at least one episode as forensic anthropologist C, TVLine hears.
