A new thriller series, “Missing You,” based on Harlan Coben’s best-selling book, will be available on Netflix in 2024. Rosalind Eleazar plays a detective whose past comes back to haunt her in the five-episode thriller that starts on January 1.
Eleazar plays Detective Kat Donovan, who is looking for missing people and finds her ex-boyfriend’s picture on a dating app. The finding hurts people again because he went missing without a trace 11 years ago.
The story is about Donovan’s search for information about the disappearance of her fiancé and the murder of her father, which has not been solved. She finds out truths that have been kept secret for years as she digs deeper.
The British version features many talented people from the UK. Ashley Walters, Richard Armitage, and Sir Lenny Henry play leading parts. Steve Pemberton, Jessica Plummer, Mary Malone, Lisa Faulkner, and James Nesbitt also appear in the movie.
The release date seems to have been planned carefully. The last Coben adaptation on Netflix, “Fool Me Once,” came out in January 2024 and quickly became one of the most popular shows, with more than 108 million users.
“Missing You” is made by Quay Street Productions, part of ITV Studios. Coben is the executive director through his company, Final Twist Productions. This is his ninth Netflix version. A tenth, “Run Away,” is already being made.
According to earlier adaptations, moving Coben’s American stories to British settings has worked well, and this show continues that trend.
