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 a strong bet to claim a spot in the streamer’s top 10. If you’re looking for a twisting mystery thriller that you can polish off in a matter of days (or over a single weekend), then “Missing You” is one of the strongest offerings of 2025 (so far, of course).
And while it certainly doesn’t break the mold, it’s another bingeable installment in the Netflix-Coben canon . What is ‘Missing You’ about? “Missing You” is a classic Coben thriller with shocking twists around every corner. The show switches the action from the novel's New York setting to the U.
K. and follows Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), a police detective exploring the modern dating world after closing herself off to love years ago. Encouraged by her private det.
