Netflix has announced the release date for Missing You, the studio’s next thriller adaptation from novelist Harlan Coben (Hold Tight, Gone for Good). Per The Hollywood Reporter, the five-part limited series will premiere on January 1. The project follows the success of Coben’s Fool Me Once, which became one of the streamer’s most-watched shows when it aired on New Year’s Day earlier this year, accruing over 108 million views.

Adapted from Coben’s novel, Missing You follows Rosalind Eleazor (Slow Horses, Master of None) as Kat Donovan, a detective specializing in the Missing Persons unit. Eleven years ago, her fiance, Josh, portrayed by Ashley Walters (Top Boy, I Am…), vanished without a trace, and she hasn’t heard from him since. Now, while swiping profiles on a dating app, she suddenly sees his face and her world explodes all over again. Josh’s unexpected reappearance will force her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets from her past.

The cast includes Richard Armitage (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, Red Eye), Sir Lenny Henry (W1A, Three Little Birds) Steve Pemberton (Alma’s Not Normal, The Cleaner), Jessica Plummer (The Decameron, The Girl Before), Mary Malone (Doctor Who, Vera), Lisa Faulkner (The Madame Blanc Mysteries, Archie) and James Nesbitt (Bloodlands, Suspect). 

The series is a co-production of Quay Street Productions, which is part of ITV Studios, and Final Twist Productions. Guy Hescott will serve as producer while Coben, Victoria Asare-Archer (Stay Close, Death in Paradise), Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Parish), Richard Fee (Prey, Leaving) and Nicola Shindler (The Red King, Dead Hot) will executive produce. Sean Spencer (Wolfe, Hollyoaks) and Isher Sahota (Ridley, Grace) will direct and Coben, Asare-Archer, and Sumerah Srivastav (Curfew, Manifest) will serve as writers.

In keeping with previous Harlan Coben adaptations, Missing You relocates the story from the United States to the United Kingdom. Missing You and Run Away will be the ninth and tenth Coben on-screen adaptations, respectively, produced via his ongoing creative partnership with the streaming giant.
