Three standalone films in release order.

About Searching

Searching from 2018 follows father David Kim hunting daughter Margot through laptop screens across a tight mystery. Run from 2020 follows Diane Sherman and daughter Chloe in a separate thriller from the same team that links through background details. Missing from 2023 flips the setup with daughter June Allen hunting mother Grace in Colombia.

All three tell standalone stories in one universe with alien subplot gags hidden in corners. Watch in release order since Missing pays off Run with a news ticker and Searching with the Unfiction show. Another film has been discussed but not dated.

Good to know

There is no separate chronological order for Searching worth listing, since each film is standalone and release order is the intended path. Run connects only through Easter eggs, so you can start with Searching then Run then Missing. The alien invasion thread runs in backgrounds only and needs no separate viewing order.
