Following the monumental success of Harlan Coben's drama Fool Me Once at the beginning of the year, featuring Michelle Keegan, it didn't take long for Netflix bosses to reveal plans to adapt a further two of Harlan's award-winning novels.

Netflix revealed the news back in January that Missing You and Run Away would be the next to hit Netflix, and now we've finally been given more details about Missing You!

What is Missing You about?

Harlan's book Missing You was released in March 2014 and is a heart-pounding thriller about the ties we have to our past.

The show's synopsis says: 'Eleven years ago Detective Kat Donovan’s fiancé Josh – the love of her life – disappeared and she’s never heard from him since. Now, 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.'

No further details have been released about the plot of Missing You just yet.
