Harlan Coben's daughter Charlotte Coben unveils trailer for Dead Hot
Get ready for a new twisty comedy-thriller to add to your watchlist!
New comedy-thriller series Dead Hot has released its first trailer, and fans are in for a spooky yet hilarious ride.
Written and created by Charlotte Coben (Fool Me Once, Shelter), the six-part series is a "compelling and twisty character-driver comedy-thriller set in Liverpool, which explores family, class, love, trauma, and identity".
The trailer shows best friends Elliot and Jess navigating life after being united by the grief of losing Peter – Elliot's first and only love and Jess's twin brother.
But when Jess is contacted by someone claiming to be her brother and Elliot meets someone with dark secrets, the best friends are determined to figure out if Elliot is romantically cursed – or being targeted.
The synopsis reads: "It's been five years since Peter went missing in mysterious circumstances, and still reeling from the trauma, the best friends spiral into a hedonistic lifestyle, partying to numb their grief while clinging to a small hope that they will one day find out what happened."
