Well this sounds intersting, and it will be great to see Stana in the leading role. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/castles-stana-katic-star-axn-crime-drama-absentia-941336"The actress is in advanced talks to topline AXN's straight-to-series drama Absentia..." "Owned by Sony Pictures Television, the premium cable/satellite and cable network has picked up 10 episodes of the crime thriller about an FBI agent (Katic) who disappears while hunting one of Boston's most notorious serial killers. Six years after being declared dead, she is found in a cabin in the woods, barely alive and with no memory of the years she was missing. Returning home to learn her husband has remarried and her son is being raised by another woman, she soon finds herself implicated in a new series of murders."

Looks great but what channel is AXN I'm trying to figure that out too. It looks like AXN is owned by Sony. The AXN brand is used around the world but, from what I can see, not here in the U.S. It sounds as though AXN will be producing this series and then selling it to other networks. I read somewhere that they were involved with the series Hannibal, which was shown on NBC. It appears that Absentia won't start production until early 2017 and they are still officially shopping it around, so we'll just have to wait and see where this ends up.

Had Kate not come home, this would have been the alternate ending for the Castle finale...LOL Seriously , this sounds like some something good. There is probably some crazy and some urgency in this character ....I like it.

Good news!
We have AXN here in Portugal. Actually it's the channel that broadcasts Castle here. There are also other ABC shows too in this channel, like Quantico and The Catch recently.

Another thing: I guess ABC was serious when they said that they hoped to continue their profissional relationship with Stana. And they seem to recognize her great talent and potencial, since they are offering her a leading role. Too bad it couldn't be a leading role as Kate Beckett....

I have hope it will be picked up in the US. Maybe USA network?
I think they will see the buzz from Stana's fans around the world and snatch up the chance to air this series.
Maybe she might even get some recognition with an Emmy since they seem to recognize actors on cable shows more than network shows?

Hi everyone
Thanks for posting this PVTJ. I see that there are already comparisons to Blindspot. I know that was my immediate thought. I am also wondering whether this is the project that Stana let slip although I thought that was one she was producing. I also wonder whether after her experience of Castle if she will want some say on the character that she plays.
Whatever, I will definitely make an effort to watch and it sure looks as if there will be quite a few fans watching. It will be interesting to see whether the rest of the cast are as well known as Stana. Wonder how soon Stana will tweet?

B. Stana did tweet about this today. Contracts must be signed. Sent from my SM-N910V using proboards

I believe AXN is a channel on my cable. I will certainly watch out for this show.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if TNT picked it up and ran it right after Castle?
