Netflix and the creators of hit show Fool Me Once are bringing us a new must-watch series, Missing You. And they’ve just dropped a stunner of a trailer.
The latest instalment from bestselling mystery writer Harlan Coben will explore the mysteries around a murder and a fiancé that disappears – and reappears years later on a dating app.
It will star Slow Horses actor Rosalind Eleazar as protagonist and Missing Persons detective Kat, helming a pretty impressive cast from Sir Lenny Henry and Top Boy‘s Ashley Walters to Busted star Matt Willis.
Fool Me Once quickly became a compelling Netflix hit in January this year, starring Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley – it was even named as #1 most-viewed TV show on Netflix for the first half of 2024 – and we’re predicting a similar vibe for Missing You. Coben signed a five-year deal with Netflix to bring more of his novels to the streamer, so watch this space for more to come as well.
We will see the return of Fool Me Once star Richard Armitage, who played Maya (Keegan)’s elusive husband Joe, and has starred in all Harlan Coben adapatations so far.
