Search Party: Season 1

Season overview

Search Party is a dark comedy television series that premiered in 2016. The narrative centers on four self-absorbed twenty-somethings who find their lives altered by an ominous mystery. The plot begins when Dory, one of the four friends, learns that Chantal, a girl she barely knew during their time in college, has gone missing. Dory becomes fixated on the disappearance, leading her to drag her friends into a pursuit to locate the missing woman. Because Dory and her companions are not trained crime solvers, their involvement in the investigation forces them to confront the reality of danger. The series explores the distinction between being missing and being lost as the group becomes entangled in events that extend beyond their typical experiences. Classified as a blend of comedy, drama, and crime, the show examines how the characters navigate this situation while dealing with the consequences of their fixation. The first season follows their collective journey as they transition from their daily lives into a search that proves far more perilous than they initially anticipated.
