Harlan Coben's new Netflix series Missing You has fans reeling with its surprising twists and turns, promising a mystery that must be unraveled.

Geographical spread is significant in another way when it comes to Coben’s TV work.

And you always know from the start that Harlan has got a brilliant ending,” says Nicola Shindler, while the author promises his show will be “stirring the heart.”

Harlan Coben’s newest series Missing You, based on his book of the same name, has just premiered on Netflix, and fans have been wondering why the series has that title. The story follows a detective who comes across her ex-fiance on a dating app.

Harlan Coben continued his tradition of releasing a hit series on New Year's Day after Missing You landed on Netflix at the start of 2025. It follow's last year release of surprise hit Fool Me Once, starring Michelle Keegan.

When the novel came out, the two creators actually "did a couple of events together," the best-seller author shared during an appearance in London ahead of the show's Jan. 1 launch.

A new drama and a satirical horror comedy are also among the shows trending across streaming services including Peacock, Max, Hulu and Apple TV+.

Harlan Coben has sold 75m novels worldwide but conquering our bookshelves and Kindles clearly isn’t enough. The past decade has seen the US crime-writing king become a prolific presence on TV, too.

Netflix’s new Harlan Coben series Missing You repeats one of the most notable complaints from another Coben series, Fool Me Once.
