ItB次元官网网址檚 NetflixB次元官网网址檚 resolution every new year to give viewers a headscratcher in January.

Since 2020, the streamer has released a U.K. miniseries based on thriller book by Harlan Coben over the holidays. It seems to have paid off: B次元官网网址淔ool Me Once,B次元官网网址� starring Michelle Keegan, Adeel Akhtar and Joanna Lumley, launched this past January and became what Netflix says was one of their most watched shows of the year, amassing 108 million views.

2025B次元官网网址檚 seasonal suspense series is B次元官网网址淢issing You,B次元官网网址� based on CobenB次元官网网址檚 2014 New York Times bestseller. It stars Rosalind Eleazar (B次元官网网址淪low HorsesB次元官网网址�) as Detective Inspector Kat Donovan, a police officer who specializes in finding missing people B次元官网网址� apart from the fiance that vanished 11 years earlier.

B次元官网网址淭hey know Jan. 1 is the sweet spot for them,B次元官网网址� says actor Richard Armitage, who has appeared in each winter Coben adaptation, which relocates the stories from the booksB次元官网网址� America to the north of England. B次元官网网址淧eople have ownership over the show now, so like, B次元官网网址業 want my Harlan Coben show on New YearB次元官网网址檚 Day. Give me my Harlan Coben fix.B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 perfect timing for the release, to be honest,B次元官网网址� says co-star Ashley Walters. B次元官网网址淢ost people are going to be hung over or, you know, just not have anything to do with the day.B次元官网网址�

The show opens with the shock of DonovanB次元官网网址檚 ex-fiance (Walters) popping up on a dating app, over a decade after she came home one day to find him gone.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e ghosted people before,B次元官网网址� laughs Armitage. B次元官网网址淛ust people you donB次元官网网址檛 want to talk to anymore. Not digitally though.B次元官网网址�

Another star, Jessica Plummer, isnB次元官网网址檛 a fan of those who disappear without saying goodbye, though.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檇 just feel too guilty,B次元官网网址� she admits, calling it B次元官网网址渃owardly and lazy B次元官网网址� sorry Richard!B次元官网网址�

Eleazar promises twists and turns along the way, adding that the actors werenB次元官网网址檛 initially given the final two scripts and had to turn to the book to find out what happens.

Coben B次元官网网址渞eally is a genius at taking you up the wrong track,B次元官网网址� says Eleazar. B次元官网网址淵ouB次元官网网址檙e so sure that this time youB次元官网网址檝e got it right and itB次元官网网址檚 this person or this thing, but you are inevitably always wrong.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚 would love to know, actually, how he starts a book, you know? Does it start with an idea or does he think of the most inconceivable idea and go, B次元官网网址楾hatB次元官网网址檚 how itB次元官网网址檚 going to endB次元官网网址�?B次元官网网址� she adds.

Armitage agrees that B次元官网网址淢issing YouB次元官网网址� does justice to the B次元官网网址渉air-raisingB次元官网网址� shock ending of the book; B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 like the rug is pulled away at the last minute.B次元官网网址�

And while audiences at home can binge-watch the whole five-part series as 2025 is still finding its feet, the cast will be busy with a variety of pastimes.

Lenny Henry, who portrays KatB次元官网网址檚 father, jokes that he usually wakes up to a new year surrounded by roast potatoes, while wearing pajamas.

Armitage likes to be outside and start fresh by skiing down a mountain, while Eleazar has plans to celebrate in style: She and a group of friends have a tradition where they rent a castle and dress up in themed costumes.

Past New YearB次元官网网址檚 Eve parties have included donning 18th century garb in France and last yearB次元官网网址檚 Versace-themed fete.

B次元官网网址淚 will be celebrating and really hoping that everyone loves this show on the 1st,B次元官网网址� she says.
