Summary
- Fox has renewed Alert: Missing Persons Unit for a third season based on season 2's performance
- The main cast, including Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez, is expected to return for Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3.
- Season 3 will likely continue with the case-per-week format while exploring the search for Nikki and Jason's missing son, Keith.
The Fox procedural series Alert: Missing Persons Unit was quickly renewed for a second season, and now the Scott Caan-led drama is returning for season 3. Premiering in 2023, Alert: Missing Persons Unit is set within the Philadelphia Police Department's MPU which is tasked with investigating missing persons cases and kidnappings. Besides the case-per-week format found in most procedurals, Alert also plays on the drama between its lead characters, a former married couple who both work for the MPU and are still investigating the disappearance of their son.
Though reviews have been somewhat mixed, something that isn't all that unusual for procedurals, the series has found a foothold on Fox and got over the one-season hump that sees many new programs get the ax. Alert: Missing Persons Unit has a strong recipe for success, and takes a page from many of the best procedural TV series of all time while still blazing its own trail. The real test of the show's strength came during its second season, and it remained strong enough to earn a green light for Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3.

Where Will The Fox Procedural Go Next?
Season 2's finale cleanly wrapped up that episodes shocking story, but the basic structure of Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3 can still be assumed based on where the series has gone before and on tropes found in procedural shows in general. It will likely continue the case-per-week format in which Grant and Batista use their know-how to rescue missing individuals in the crucial window of time. Though the series may imagine newer and bigger cases, such as the kidnapping of an entire school bus seen in season 2, episode 1, they will nevertheless follow a familiar format.
The only thing that isn't certain about Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3's story is where things will go with Nikki and Jason's search for their missing son, Keith. The couple was devastated at the end of season 1 when it was revealed that the person they thought was Keith had actually been a cruel impostor. Season 3 might introduce more wrinkles into the missing son storyline.
