Season Two Trailer: A Very Vanishing Christmas

The Vanishing Act will return with SEASON TWO starting on Monday, November 22nd! We pick up right where we left off, literally minutes after the events of season one finale--on Christmas Eve, 1944. These five episodes will tell the story of our ragtag bunch of misfits–Augie, Conrad, Lilith, Rudyard, and Devorah–and their journey to find out if they can take one last lifeline to become better people, better (best?) friends, and maybe (MAYBE) actual protagonists.

Part 1: The Christmas Kiss premieres November 22nd, 2021.

🎶God help these foolish gentlemen and this one scientist,

Who all now have to make a play or fall to the abyss

While new friends come and help them out

At least much as they can,

As a voice from the past comes to complicate their plans,

Yeah, it really comes to screw up all their plans.🎶
