We're hoping Missing You will launch this winter


After Fool Me Once caught the attention of millions of Netflix viewers across the globe at the very start of 2024, the streamer was pleased as punch with the deal it struck with American author Harlan Coben back in 2018. Coban adapted his novel of the same name into the series for the platform as part of his multimillion dollar, five-year-long deal with Netflix.

While it is certainly his most successful, Fool Me Once is far from Coban’s first British TV series for Netflix, following the likes of Safe (2018), The Stranger (2020) and Stay Close (2021). So what’s next? Another novel adaptation: Missing You. Here’s everything we know so far.

Harlan Coben’s Missing You: Plot, Cast, Release Date

What Will Happen?

Missing You centres on Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), a detective whose fiance Josh vanished 11 years ago – and she hasn’t seen or heard from him since. That is until one day she’s swiping on a dating app and she suddenly sees his face. Kat’s world explodes all over again, forcing her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets from her past.

Who Will Star?

Plenty of familiar British faces will appear in Missing You, including Coben’s muses Richard Armitage and James Nesbitt.
