Judd, who is nominated for an Emmy for her performance as Becca, has been off our screens for a while but recently had a small role in White House terrorist thriller OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. She will also be appearing in the highly anticipated upcoming dystopian romance adventure movie DIVERGENT, based on the novel by Veronica Roth, where she will play Shailene Woodley’s mother. For Missing her son Michael is played by Nick Eversman (VAMPIRES SUCK) and rounding out the cast of are Adriano Gianini, Laura Donnelly, Jason Wong and Gina McKee

The show, which aired last year in the US, has the the following official synopsis:

How far would you go to save the only thing you have left in the world? At 8 years of age, Michael Winstone watched as his father, CIA agent Paul Winstone, was murdered. Now 10 years later, Paul’s wife, Becca, is faced with the reality that her son is growing up. When Michael is afforded the opportunity to study abroad, his mother reluctantly agrees it’s time to let him go. But just a few weeks into his trip, Michael disappears, and Becca immediately suspects foul play. When she arrives in Rome, she begins piecing together the clues left behind. It isn’t long before the kidnappers realize they’ve picked a fight with the wrong woman, because Becca has a secret of her own — before Paul’s death, she was also a lethal CIA operative. If she wants to find her son alive, Becca will have to rely on old friends and reopen old wounds. All of her resourcefulness, skill and determination will be put to the test — but a mother’s love knows no limits.
