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.

Lenny Henry, Ashley Walters, Richard Armitage and more also appear in the starry cast, with Coben project regular Armitage previously revealing how Missing You feels different. He said: "One of the reasons this feels different is there isn’t a dense sub-plot surrounding a second character.

"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."

Harlen Coben's latest series Missing You recently premiered on Netflix and features one iconic actor who looks completely different.

The Netflix series - based on the novel by Harlan Coben - dropped today, and you've got five episodes to enjoy.

Though Harlan Coben's book is set in New York City, the Netflix adaptation shifts the story to England, choosing authentic filming locations.

A new Harlan Coben Netflix show has been added to the streaming service, but where does it rank compared to the other adaptations of the author's work?

Named after the eponymous ‘80s chart-topper which plays during one overused flashback (it’s fair to say John Waite shouldn’t expect a “Murder on the Dancefloor”-esque renaissance), “Missing You” stars Rosalind Eleazar (“Slow Horses”) as Kat Donovan, a detective inspector who, like all Coben protagonists, has an unnecessarily mysterious past.

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.
