Following the resounding success of their recent series Fool Me Once Netflix has greenlit adaptations of two more Harlan Coben novels, Missing You and Run Away.

These adaptations are being produced by Quay Street Productions, with Coben himself serving as executive producer through Final Twist Productions.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Fool Me Once, which premiered globally on 1st January.

Garnering 61 million views globally in its first fortnight, it reached the Top 10 in 91 countries, according to Netflix Top 10 data.

Missing You and Run Away mark the 9th and 10th adaptations of Coben’s works, continuing his successful collaboration with Netflix. Coben has been working with local screenwriters worldwide, bringing his stories to life in four different languages so far.

Filming for Missing You is set to begin in the UK in spring 2024.
