After the incredible success of Fool Me Once, Netflix has announced it will be adapting another novel from Harlan Coben, Missing You. Details are limited, but we’ll report on cast news, production updates, release dates, and more in our ongoing preview.
Missing You is an upcoming Netflix Original limited crime-drama series and adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name. The adaptation continues Coben’s lucrative creative partnership with Netflix, who have already adapted eight novels from his bibliography into Netflix Originals. Missing You will be the ninth adaptation of Coben’s work on Netflix.
Victoria Asare-Archer, who previously worked on two episodes of Stay Close, will serve as the lead writer on Missing You.
An episode count has yet to be revealed. However, it has been confirmed that Sean Spencer will direct the series, while Isher Sahota will serve as the second director.
Unsurprisingly, after the success of Fool Me Once, which earned 61 million views after its first two weeks on Netflix, Quay Street Productions will lead the series production. Daniel Brocklehurst (Brassic), Richard Fee (Prey), and Nicola Shindler (It’s a Sin) are the series’ executive producers. Guy Hescott (Third Row Centre) is also listed as a producer. Through his company, Final Twist Productions, Harlan Coben is also an executive producer.
