Netflix Greenlights Two More Harlan Coben Series After Success of Fool Me Once

Summary

  • Netflix has given the greenlight for two more limited series based on Harlan Coben’s work, titled Missing You and Run Away.
  • Both series will be produced by Quay Street Productions and Coben himself will serve as executive producer.
  • Missing You will begin production in spring 2024, with both series announced following the success of Fool Me Once.

Following the success of their most recent Harlan Coben adaptation, Fool Me Once, Netflix has given the greenlight to two more limited series based on his work, Missing You and Run Away. The news comes courtesy of Deadline, with the report revealing that “Quay Street Productions, the ITV Studios-backed production outfit founded by Nicola Shindler, will produce both adaptations after overseeing Fool Me Once,” and that Coben himself “will serve as executive producer” on the two projects.

Missing You will go into production first, with the report revealing that production will begin later this year in spring 2024. Missing You will be written by Victoria Asare-Archer, who has penned a Harlan Coben adaptation before with two episodes of Stay Close, which was released in 2021 and starring Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage, and Sarah Parish.

Run Away, meanwhile, will be written by Danny Brocklehurst, the writer behind this year’s hit adaptation, Fool Me Once, starring Michelle Keegan, Richard Armitage, Adeel Akhtar, and Joanna Lumley.

Released in 2014, Missing You follows NYPD Detective Kat Donovan “who feels her whole world explode, as emotions she’s ignored for decades come crashing down on her,” the plot synopsis reads. Stumbling across her ex’s profile on a dating site, an initial spark opens up all manner of suspicion, terror, an unspeakable conspiracy, and the unexplained murder of her father.

Missing You & Run Away Promise the Twists & Turns That Harlan Coben Fans Love

Run Away, meanwhile, was released in 2019, and follows a father who suddenly sees his estranged daughter busking in New York’s Central Park. But she is not the daughter he remembers. Now addicted to drugs and to an abusive boyfriend, he begs her to come home but is soon drawn into a dark and dangerous world you never knew existed. Where criminal gangs rule, where drugs are the main currency, and murder is commonplace,” the official synopsis for the novel reads.

So, it sounds like both Missing You and Run Away will find audiences very much in familiar “Harlan Coben” territory, and are sure to offer another twisted tale from the best-selling author.

Missing You is set to be directed by Sean Spencer (The Lazarus Project, Panic). Isher Sahota will serve as second director, with executive producers Coben, Shindler, Richard Fee, Asare-Archer, Danny Brocklehurst, and Guy Hescott as producer. Written by Fool Me Once’s Danny Brocklehurst, Run Away will be executive produced by Coben, Shindler, Fee, and Brocklehurst.

Since collaborating with Netflix on 2018’s Safe, there have been seven new Harlan Coben adaptations on the streaming platform. As well as The Stranger and Stay Close, the likes of The Woods, The Innocent, and Gone for Good have also been adapted for the streamer.

The latest collaboration between the author and Netflix is Fool Me Once. Released on Netflix on New Year’s Day, Fool Me Once stars Michelle Keegan, Richard Armitage, Adeel Akhtar, Emmett J. Scanlan and Joanna Lumley, Fool Me Once follows an ex-soldier who somehow sees her murdered husband on a secret nanny cam and a detective grappling with secrets of his own while investigating the husband’s death.

Fool Me Once has been another big hit for Netflix, and saw one of the largest debuts in the streaming service’s history, amassing 61 million views in its first two weeks.
