Harlan Coben’s latest mystery on Netflix, “Missing You,” a handful of actors from past adaptations of the author’s crime novels.
Rosalind Eleazar plays detective Kat Donovan, a woman whose fiancé, Josh Buchanan (Ashley Walters), disappeared without a trace eleven years ago.
When she discovers his profile on a dating app, it forces her to reexamine her life and the suspicious cases surrounding her father’s death.
“Missing You” was released on Netflix exactly one year after Coben’s previous series, “Fool Me Once,” starring Michelle Keegan, which was one of the streamer’s most-watched series of the year.
The cast of the new series includes 3 actors that subscribers recognize from Coben’s past adaptations.
Richard Armitage plays a lead role in “Missing You” as Sergeant Ellis Stagger, the leader of the Donovan police who finds himself caught up in the mystery surrounding his father’s death. The series marks Armitage’s fourth appearance in a Coben Netflix series.
In 2020 he played Adam Price, a father of two whose wife goes missing shortly after a mysterious stranger (Hannah John-Kamen) approaches him out of the blue and tells him a secret.
Then in 2021, he plays paparazzi photographer Ray Levine, one of the suspects in the murder of Stewart Green (Rod Hunt) in a cold case that resurfaces on Bid Day.
And in 2024, he plays Joe Burkett in “Fool Me Once,” the late husband of Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan) who mysteriously appears on a babysitting cam in their home.
Irish actor James Nesbitt plays Calligan, a notorious gangster, in “Missing You” and is hinted to have had something to do with the death of Donovan’s father.
He has a troubled history, as a police officer tells Donovan that Calligan almost murdered his classmate with a hammer while he was at school.
Nesbitt in the past starred in “Stay Close” with Armitage and played Detective Michael Broome, the police officer investigating the disappearance of Del Flynn (Ross Boatman), a businessman who disappeared precisely 17 years after Green’s disappearance.
As with all of Coben’s TV shows, he realizes he has a strangely non-public connection to the case.
Rounding out the Coben alumni is Marc Warren, who plays Monte Leburn, the hitman who confessed to killing Donovan’s father — despite having no reason to do so.
His actions confuse Donovan as she tires to find the truth truth about his death.
Audiences would likely recognize Warren from “Safe,” in which he played Dr. Pete Mayfield, best friend of widower Tom Delaney (Michael C. Hall). Delaney asks Mayfield when his daughter, Jenny (Amy-Leigh Hickman), disappears after a space party.
