Cameras start rolling in spring on another gripping mystery. <\/p>

Harlan Coben will have a home at Netflix<\/a> for the foreseeable future, with two more of his bestselling novels now set to be adapted by the streaming service.<\/p>\n

The news comes following the recent success of Fool Me Once<\/a>, a mystery thriller starring Richard Armitage and Michelle Keegan, which dropped on New Year\u2019s Day to enormous viewership around the world.<\/p>\n

According to Netflix\u2019s own statistics, the series accumulated 61 million views globally in its first two weeks, while ratings analyst Barb reported a strong audience of 6.3 million for the first episode in the UK alone.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a surprising result, of course, with previous Harlan Coben adaptations such as The Stranger<\/a> and Stay Close<\/a> also proving highly popular, with the latter being launched on New Year\u2019s Day 2022.<\/p>\n

Coben recently expressed an interest<\/a> in returning to that coveted spot on the release calendar in future years, with two more UK-based adaptations in the works which could potentially do just that (per Deadline<\/a>).<\/p>

Fool Me Once\u2019s Danny Brocklehurst will adapt Run Away, which sees a man\u2019s seemingly perfect life thrown into chaos when his eldest daughter goes missing, only to resurface high on drugs in a public park.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Stay Close co-writer Victoria Asare-Archer will handle the screen version of Missing You, in which detective Kat Donovan is drawn in by a sinister dating profile, which could be connected in some way to her father\u2019s mysterious death.<\/p>\n

Nicola Shindler\u2019s Quay Street Productions and Coben\u2019s own Final Twist are behind both projects, with Missing You being first on the agenda, currently targeting a start date for filming in the springtime. Casting will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n
