Netflix has delivered its first hit of 2024 in the form of Fool Me Once, and the streaming operator is looking to build on the thriller series' massive popularity by quickly commissioning more shows based on Harlan Coben's novel It is not too surprising that the streaming company is looking to build on the popularity of this thriller series by quickly commissioning more shows based on Harlan Coben novels.

"Fool Me Once" is currently the #1 show on Netflix in both the US and the UK, and is in the top 10 in over 90 countries worldwide. In its first two weeks, it has been viewed more than 61 million times worldwide, and social media is dominated by theories, Easter eggs, and of course memes associated with this twisted mystery show.

Naturally, Netflix decided to strike while the iron is hot, and decided to make two more of Corben's books into a limited series. The novels are Missing You and Run Away. The former will hit bookshelves in 2014, and the latter will appear in 2019.

These two shows will be Netflix's ninth and tenth Coben adaptations, respectively. Along with Fool Me Once, previous films include Stay Close, Hold Tight, Safe, and Stranger.

The partnership between the American author and Netflix has been so fruitful that Netflix shows based on his best-selling books show little sign of slowing down; both "Missing You" and "Run Away" have no release dates set, but "Missing You" is expected to begin spring filming is known to begin in the spring.

Neither show is expected until 2025 at the earliest, but in the meantime, Netflix has released a brief synopsis of each series, telling us what mysteries will unfold.

Missing You follows Detective Kat Donovan, who finds Josh on a dating app 11 years after her fiancé Josh disappears without a trace. Faced with the sudden return of the man she believed to be the love of her life, old wounds are revealed and may be connected to the mysterious death of her father and long-buried secrets in Kat's past.

Run Away, on the other hand, features Simon, an everyday man whose perfect life is shattered when his oldest daughter, Paige, runs away from home. Later, when he discovers his daughter dabbling in drugs alone in a park, Simon's life is once again thrown into chaos and his search for answers drags him into a dangerous underworld that could tear his family apart forever.

So far, there is no casting news for either Netflix show. However, Sean Spencer is set to direct "Missing You," and the series will be written by Victoria Asare-Archer, who wrote two episodes of Netflix's "Stay Close." Meanwhile, "Run Away" will be adapted by Danny Brocklehurst, who wrote "Fool Me Once."

These two thriller series are sure to make an equally big splash when they arrive on Netflix. However, their debut is unlikely to happen anytime soon. So if you're looking for something to watch now, check out our roundup of the best new shows to watch this week.
