Richard Armitage and Harlan Coben are proving inseparable over on Netflix, with their fourth collaboration now confirmed to be the streamer's upcoming adaptation of Missing You.

The previously announced project was spotlighted at the Next on Netflix event held in London last night, where casting details were announced – and following on from Fool Me Once, it's another all-star line-up of British talent.
Slow Horses star Rosalind Eleazar leads the drama as Detective Kat Donovan, whose fiancé disappeared without trace 11 years ago – so imagine her surprise when she sees his face pop up on a dating app without warning one evening.
The synopsis teases: "Josh's reappearance will force her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets from her past."

Henry has been cast as Clint Donovan, while Armitage will play the tremendously named Ellis Stagger – his fourth Coben character, following earlier roles in The Stranger, Stay Close and Fool Me Once.
Missing You co-star Jessica Plummer (The Girl Before) appeared at the Next on Netflix event last night with head writer Victoria Asare-Archer, where the supporting cast of the series was unveiled.
It includes Inside No. 9 star Steve Pemberton, Sexy Beast's Paul Kaye, Sex Education's Samantha Spiro, Unforgotten's Lisa Faulkner and Doctor Who alum Mary Malone.

Another repeat collaborator with Coben, Asare-Archer marks her second project with the prolific crime novelist, having previously penned two episodes of 2021's smash-hit Stay Close.
Fool Me Once proved to be another juggernaut after dropping on New Year's Day, showing that Netflix viewers still have quite the appetite for Coben adaptations – there are currently seven of them streaming exclusively on the service.
Missing You is currently filming and eyeing a release date in 2025.
