Missing establishes itself as a Searching sequel from the get-go. Early in the film, June is watching an episode of a fake Netflix show called Unfiction. The episode she is watching is a reenactment of David and Margot's story from Searching. June later sees her own situation turned into an episode of Unfiction, so the Easter egg also acts as fores...
To catch the alien story in Searching, viewers must pay close attention as it plays out in Google searches and news headlines. However, those who did catch it in the first film have a treat in Missing as filmmakers continued the story. Searching told the story of a potential alien invasion, while Missing told the story of a superheronamed Green Ang...
Filmmakers went as far as connecting the movies with the same line of dialogue. For example, in Searching, David discovers a text message Margot sent to his brother Peter that says, "Last night was fun." The text plays a crucial role in the film because David uses it as evidence his brother may be involved in her disappearance. The same line appear...
One big connection is that Searching and Missing both start with a backstory on the characters losing a parent. In Searching, David loses his wife, and Margot loses her mother from cancer. Missing begins with June losing her father, which Grace tells everyone is because he died of cancer. However, it's later revealed he was actually abusive, so Gra...
Another connection between the two is a special text conversation. The dynamic between David and Margot is similar to Grace and June, as there seems to be a strain between the parent and child. In both films, Margot and June haven't healed from their parent's absence. Margot has difficulty talking about her mother, so David doesn't bring it up even...
Filmmakers also used news headlines to suggest Searching and Missing are from the same universe. One way they did this was through a news ticker reporting a false story about a Hollywood producer who killed his editor. The tick inSearching read, "Hollywood producer charged with..." and the story was finished in Missing with the headline, "Hollywood...
Another way the films connect themselves via the news is by using the same news anchor. For Margot's disappearance story in Searching, actor Roy Abramsohn portrays a news reporter discussing the story. He returns in Missingas the same news reporter, reporting on Grace's disappearance.
Peter had a large role in Searching as he smoked weed with Margot before her disappearance, and David was convinced he was responsible for what happened to his daughter. He doesn't physically appear in Missing, but the film offers an update on the character. When June is investigating Kevin, hoping to find information on her mother's disappearance,...
This clue is extra exciting because it appeared in all three films meaning Missing also occurs in the Run universe. In Searching, Margot's killer spoke to her on a live chat using someone else's photo to disguise his identity. He chose a stock model named Hannah. The model briefly appeared onscreen in Run, and in Missing, she appears on a poster in...
One of the biggest connections between the films is their twist endings, which both end up in the plot of Unfictionepisodes. It turns out the person who abducted Margot was the son of the detective who was helping David find Margot. She was actually throwing him off to protect her son, but he didn't figure this out until the end. Related: Missing E...
