Universal Channel has acquired the UK rights to The Finder, a spinoff of the popular procedural drama Bones. The series, which follows Walter Sherman, a former military police officer with a unique ability to locate anything and anyone, brings a fresh twist to the traditional crime procedural format. The Finder premiered in the United States in 2012 and quickly gained attention for its engaging characters and intriguing premise.
The show follows Walter Sherman, played by Geoff Stults, as he uses his special skills to help clients track down lost objects, people, and even evidence in criminal cases. His work as a “finder” leads him into a wide range of situations, from missing persons cases to solving complex mysteries. The series blends crime-solving with a touch of humor and heart, making it a unique addition to the procedural drama genre.
Alongside Stults, the show features a strong supporting cast, including Michael Clarke Duncan in one of his final roles before his passing. The Finder has been praised for its quirky characters and its ability to balance lighthearted moments with more serious investigative work. The show’s blend of crime-solving and personal relationships gives it a distinctive charm, setting it apart from other procedurals.
With its clever premise and strong character development, The Finder is expected to find an eager audience in the UK. Universal Channel’s acquisition of the series reflects its commitment to offering compelling and diverse programming to British viewers. The show is a perfect fit for fans of Bones
