Netflix has confirmed that two more new Harlan Coben shows are on the way after the smash-hit success of Fool Me Once.
A further two novels in the world-renowned author‘s extensive repertoire of works are to be adapted into new limited series for the popular streaming service, with Coben himself serving as executive producer of the shows and steering the ship.
The two new limited series will be titled Missing You and Run Away.
Set to be the ninth and tenth on-screen adaptations produced by the bestselling author through his ongoing creative partnership with Netflix, Missing You and Run Away will see Coben continue to work with local screenwriters from around the world to bring his novels to life on screen in over four different languages.
Following the recent success of Fool Me Once (Top 10 in 91 countries!) we’re excited to announce two new @HarlanCoben limited series adaptations…
MISSING YOU will begin production this spring, and will then be followed by RUN AWAY.
Missing You follows the story of Detective Kat Donovan, who’s fiancé Josh disappeared 11 years ago and has never heard from him since – but now, when swiping profiles on a dating app, she suddenly sees his face and her world explodes all over again.

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.
Run Away, on the other hand, follows Simon, who once had the perfect life – a loving wife and kids, a great job, and beautiful home.

But then, his eldest daughter Paige ran away and everything fell apart, so now, when he finds her, vulnerable and strung-out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home – however, it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence that will shatter his life all over again.
Simon’s search for his daughter will take him into a dangerous underworld, and reveal deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.

Coben will be working with critically-acclaimed Hyde-born writer Danny Brocklehurst – who is most-famous for being the creator and writer of Sky One’s Brassic – for the creation of Run Away, and it’ll be the fifth time the pair have collaborated, with their previous successful works including Safe, The Stranger, and Stay Close.

Coben and Brocklehurst most-recently worked together to create Netflix’s newest Coben adaptation, Fool Me Once – which aired globally on the platform at the start of this year.
The news of these two new Coben limited series being commissioned also comes after the Michelle Keegan-led drama series shot to the top of Netflix’s most-streamed charts in the days after it was released on New Year’s Day (1 January).
It’s amassed 61 million views worldwide in its first two weeks, reached the top 10 in 91 countries, and has had people sharing their thoughts all over social media.

It’s been confirmed that filming for Missing You will commence in the UK in spring 2024, but we’re still yet to hear when Run Away will hit our TV screens, so keep your eyes peeled.

Castlefield is being transformed into Gotham amidst more Hollywood filming in Greater Manchester
Danny Jones
Castlefield, with its iconic viaduct and cobbled streets, is once again being used for big-budget filming as the latest Batman/DC Universe title, Clayface, looks to be setting up in the eye-catching Manc corner.
Whether it’s football kit reveals and brand shoots, BBC dramas or the next upcoming Netflix series, production crews can’t get enough of Castlefield, it would seem.
For those who hadn’t heard, work on the new Clayface movie revolving around the cult favourite Batman villain is well underway, and the North West has been used as the backdrop on multiple ocassions this month already.
You can see early glimpses of the set being put together down below.
Come on, how cool is it that we get to stumble on stuff like this right on our doorstep so often?
Speaking to The Manc, a source detailed that the set is being assembled today (Tuesday, 16 September) ahead of a single day of principal photography on what we can only assume is more Clayface filming sometime tomorrow.
While she could not confirm with us directly, she said, “If you’re a comic book nerd and look at the posters, you’ll be able to figure it out.” We’ve certainly been studying all the easter eggs already.
It might not quite be as dark and gritty as Gotham City, but this particular part of Manchester has been used in TV and film – especially period dramas – many times for good reason.
The Victorian-era steel structure, dark red brick and overall industrial aesthetic work so well when it comes to creating a believable and cinematic world.
Besides perhaps the most famous instance of Peaky Blinders shooting in these parts, you can add multiple music videos, several Manchester United and Man City shirt launches, and so many more that we’re starting to lose track.
As for Clayface, this isn’t even the first time the upcoming DC ‘body-horror’ flick has popped up in Greater Manchester.
Last week saw the equally striking Art Deco facade of the old The Plaza Super Cinema in Stockport turned into a fictional movie premiere to stunning effect:
Speaking of, another childhood favourite is filming here in Manchester right now, too.
Besides perhaps the most famous instance of Peaky Blinders shooting in these parts, the new Narnia adaptation by Greta Gerwig may just be one of the biggest projects that has ever landed underneath the familiar ‘birdcage’.
ln fact, it just so happens that there are actually multiple noteworthy small and silver screen works fighting over the Castlefield shooting schedule at the moment…
Warrington-born Adolescence star Owen Cooper becomes youngest ever male Emmy winner
Emily Sergeant
Owen Cooper has made history.
The Warrington-born actor who burst onto the scene as a newcomer in the Netflix smash-hit drama series Adolescence, starring alongside other big names like Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Ashley Walters, has become the youngest winner ever in any male acting category at last nights Emmy Awards 2025.
He took home the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series.
Youngest Emmy winner ever in any male acting category.
At just 15 years old, Cooper beat out his fellow co-star Ashley Walters for the award, as well as other renowned actors like Javier Bardem, Peter Sarsgaard, and Rob Delaney.
Adolescence, if you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, is a four-part limited series about a 13-year-old boy who is accused of murdering one of his classmates – with each episode remarkably being filmed in one unflinching and continuous shot.
The truly gripping story unfolds in real time as the main characters search for answers in the wake of a shocking tragedy.
Who is actually responsible? Why did it happen? And could it have been prevented?

Cooper was a complete screen newcomer starring as the young boy Eddie Miller, accused of murder, and the show tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside because of it.
Taking to the stage to accept his award last night, Cooper – who began taking weekly acting lessons with The Drama Mob here in Manchester – said: “[The win] is just so surreal. Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind [at The Emmys].
“So I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life.”
Elsewhere on the night, Adolescence cleaned up as a whole.
Co-creator and star of the show, Stephen Graham, took home the Best Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series award, as well as a Writing award alongside co-writer Jack Thorne, while Erin Doherty claimed the Best Supporting Actress accolade in the same category, and director Philip Barantini won the Best Director award.
