Netflix just released Missing You, adapted from powerhouse author Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name, making it the ninth such project on the platform – so who is he?
Netflix kicked off 2025 with a bang, releasing a hot new TV show from seasoned American writer Harlan Coben. On January 1, the streaming platform unveiled Missing You, a limited series adapted from Coben’s novel of the same name – and netizens can’t stop talking about the twists and turns that have kept them gripped throughout the episodes.
“I want you to turn this on on New Year’s Day and just say, ‘Well, I’ll just watch one episode.’ And before you know it, you’ve gobbled up all five,” Coben told Netflix’s Tudum. “You’re dabbing your eyes with tissues, and you feel satisfied.”
