Fox is expanding the Season 2 cast for Alert: Missing Persons Unit, from John Eisendrath and Jamie Foxx. Alisha-Marie Ahamed (Family Law) is joining as a new series regular and Gil Bellows (Ally McBeal) has been tapped to heavily recur opposite Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez in the procedural drama.
Written by Eisendrath, Alert is set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). Each episode features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person headed by detectives Jason Grant (Caan) and Nikki Batista (Ramirez).

Jason and Nikki, once married, have a very personal connection to these cases as their own young son went missing and was never found. The emotional toll of their son’s disappearance blew up their marriage, but even though they’ve moved on, their bond remains. Nikki now runs MPU, where she and the team do for others what she wasn’t able to do for herself: bring a loved one back home. At MPU, she leads a highly skilled team, including her fiancé Mike Sherman (Ryan Broussard), whom Nikki met when he was assigned to oversee the search for her son; Kemi Adebayo (Adeola Role), a spiritually savvy detective with an astonishing knowledge base, and forensic anthropologist C (recurring guest star Petey Gibson).
In Season 2, Ahamed will portray Wayne Pascal. In spite of her name, Wayne is very much female, and a master hacker serving her house arrest sentence in a dingy motel. A spitfire techie, Wayne has a heart of gold beneath an edgy exterior.
Bellows is Inspector Hollis Braun. An iron hand under a pleasant demeanor, Inspector Braun is Nikki and Jason’s new boss, and as
