Complex characters, dark secrets, and inevitable curveballs comprise Harlan Coben’s universe of storytelling. And when it lands on Netflix, it is fueled with a pedigree so impressive that one watch is never enough. The New Jersey-based author, specializing in the thriller genre, has taken his stories to the small screen to vouch for a bigger audience. And if you are a fan of Missing You on the streaming giant, there is no way to hit the brakes just now. 

To keep up with Coben’s plot twists in association with Netflix, here is a list of 9 shows that walk the same gripping path but tell the tales of differentiating chaos on the streamer. 

Harlan Coben and Netflix’s ongoing collaboration has been just what the subscribers need for a mysterious outing every now and then. And if Missing You landed on one of the must-watch, Safe should definitely be the next pick. In this eight-part limited series, Michael C. Hall stars as Tom Delaney whose life turns upside down after his wife’s demise, rendering a strained father-daughter relationship. But the plot unfolds when the daughter goes missing with her boyfriend, unearthing a wealth of dark secrets. 

Up next is The Woods, a six-part Polish series split between two time periods. It follows Pawel Kopinski’s journey from a chaperone in a summer camp to a prosecutor in Warsaw, whose story unfolds upon a body’s discovery, circling back to the 1994 summer camp. To get going, subscribers must also give The Innocent a watch. The Spanish mystery follows Mateo Vidal, a law student whose involvement in a fight at a club results in a man’s demise. 

Hold Tight reviews – Fans call Harlan Coben’s Netflix adaptation a “rollercoaster”

If they are done with that too, Gone for Good is the way to explore a culmination of tragedy, time jumps, disappearances, and mysteries. But for those wondering if this is the end, hold your horses.

Harlan Coben’s collaboration with Netflix goes way back in the day, and for those craving more, Stay Close is a must-see. The eight-part British series follows three unassociated people, tied by an invisible thread of a mysterious unsolved case. Interestingly, Hold Tight is not considered a sequel to The Woods, but set in the same world and timeline, it sees recurring characters. However, they are no longer abundantly involved in the central storyline. 

Moving on with The Stranger, it revolves around an enigmatic young woman in a baseball cap “who reveals secrets to people with dire consequences.” The Coben pedigree also stays just as it is in Fool Me Once, revolving around Maya Stern, a former military pilot. But things turn upside down when she discovers uneasy secrets about her husband’s demise, leaving her to question everything. Lastly, Just One Look rounds out the list, following Greta, whose life is upended when a mysterious snap surfaces connecting to the disappearance of her husband.
