Netflix is kicking off 2025 by continuing what has become an (almost) annual tradition. In 2021 and 2024, the streaming service began the New Year by premiering a mystery thriller show based on a Harlan Coben novel, and the latest collaboration with the best-selling crime author has just landed on the platform in the form of “Missing You”.
“Missing You” is adapted from the 2014 Coben novel of the same name, and follows a police detective, Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), who discovers her ex-fiancé on a dating app. That would be awkward enough for most people, but the wrinkle is that Kat’s fiancé disappeared more than a decade ago without a trace. This five-part series arrived on Netflix earlier this week (on January 1), and is has proven popular right out of the gate. At the time of writing, it's rocketed straight to the No. 2 spot in the service's top 10 most-watched list only ranking behind the juggernaut "Squid Game" season 2.
