Released earlier this year, the screenlife thriller Missing is a pleasant 2023 surprise that hooks viewers thanks to its peculiar storytelling, including video chats, search engines, social media, etc. If you watched the movie, you surely caught several references to a true-crime series called Unfiction, which appears to be on Netflix. Can you watch Unfiction season 1 on Netflix? Is that series even real? Here’s what you need to know.
Is Unfiction season 1 on Netflix?
Unfortunately, you can’t watch Unfiction season 1 on Netflix.
In Missing, fans can see that June Allen (Storm Reid) is very passionate about true crime series and likes to binge-watch this show called Unfiction, which seems to be pretty popular since it reached its third season. In fact, the movie written and directed by Will Merrick and Nick Johnson opens by showing the third episode of Unfiction season 2. Without going into details, June will have to go through an experience that seems ripped from a true crime series after her mother (Nia Long) goes missing during a trip to Colombia with her boyfriend (Ken Leung). Her case makes the headlines, and by the film’s end, Unfiction features the story of June’s mother in one of the season 3 episodes.
Is Unfiction a real series?
No, Unfiction isn’t an actual series.
Nor is Missing based on a true story, although it delves into the enigmatic realm of unsolved mysteries. As much as fans would love to watch June’s favorite series, there is no actual Netflix show called Unfiction. Still, the streamer might consider producing it due to the fictional series’ popularity. In the meantime, fans can watch Missing on Netflix and pick up one of the many thrilling true-crime documentaries the streamer offers, which seamlessly combines the addictive allure of true-crime mysteries with the creative freedom of fictional storytelling.
