Coming to Netflix at the end of April 2021 is the first Spanish production out of the Harlan Coben library.
This one was announced at the beginning of the Netflix pact but we’re unsure where it is in development. The novel at the time wasn’t due to release until a year later and since then, we’ve not heard in what form the Netflix project will be.
Above are six projects announced which leaves another eight books to be adapted. With the exclusion of the Myron Bolitar novels, here’s what ones are left to be adapted:
Coben's books all start with a "What if?", and this one is a doozy: "The Stranger" opens when a man reveals a startling secret to lawyer, husband and father of two Adam Price -- Price's wife faked a pregnancy and miscarriage a few years earlier. When he confronts his wife, she disappears. Meanwhile, other people around the country are also on the receiving end of nasty revelations, and one of them ends up dead. This is a cautionary tale about the Internet age -- or about gaping holes in online security, at least.
11. Jake Fisher is still mourning the one that got away -- a painter named Natalie who broke off their whirlwind courtship to marry an old boyfriend. When Fisher reads that the man has died, he attends the funeral and discovers his widow was not, in fact, Natalie. Despite attempts by many people to "Gaslight" him about Natalie's existence, the besotted Jake risks his career and his life to uncover the tightly-wound (and more-implausible-than-usual) mystery surrounding Natalie's disappearance. Hugh Jackman is attached to star in a big screen adaptation.
1. Pediatrician David Beck is still haunted by the brutal murder of his wife eight years earlier, but when two bodies are unearthed near the lake where she went missing, police suspect Beck had something to do with them. At the same time, he receives an email with evidence that his wife is still alive but with this bit of advice: Tell no one. On the run from police and a terrifying hitman, Beck doesn't stop -- and Coben never eases up on the throttle -- until he uncovers the truth about his wife's disappearance. Coben's portrayal of the great love at the center of the novel is particulary moving and believable. The novel was made into a great French thriller that was released in the U.S. in 2008, and Chris Terrio ("Argo") wrote the script for an American version.
