Netflix has delivered another thriller based on one of Harlan Coben’s books.
“Missing You” follows a detective whose fiancé has been missing for 11 years.
The show is billed as a limited series, but there would be plenty to explore in a second season.

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for “Missing You.”

Fans of “Missing You,” Netflix’s latest adaptation of a Harlan Coben book, may be wondering if a second season is coming.

The show comes after Coben’s “Fool Me Once,” which was released on January 1, 2024 and became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows of all time. It has been viewed 98 million times, according to the streamer.

In “Missing You,” detective Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar) tries to uncover why her fiancé disappeared and her father died 11 years ago.

Netflix has promoted the show as a limited series, so it seems unlikely a second season will be made. None of the other Coben adaptations have had one, either.

But the ending leaves things on an emotional cliffhanger and it would be possible for Netflix to continue the story, which it might be tempted to do if it’s as big a success as “Fool Me Once.”

The series ends with Josh Buchanan (Ashley Walters), Kat’s fiancé, confessing to her that he accidentally killed her father, Clint Donovan (Lenny Henry) while trying to defend his friend, Aqua Venech (Mary Malone).

Aqua accidentally learned that Clint was secretly gay and had been in a relationship with a man for 14 years. Josh arrived at Aqua’s apartment when Clint was threatening her with a knife, and accidentally stabbed him during the fight.

Josh then left Kat suddenly because he couldn’t deal with the guilt of killing her father.

Kat is shocked, and although the couple had started to rekindle their relationship, it’s unclear whether they could stay together now she knows the truth.

A hypothetical second season of “Missing You” could explore whether the pair stay together and if Kat goes to the police. It could also return to the organized crime subplot involving gangster Dominic Calligan (James Nesbitt).

But for now, it looks like “Missing You” is a one-off.

Netflix’s Harlan Coben adaptation ‘Missing You’ is a twist-filled tale of deceit that has kept viewers on the edge of their seats since it premiered. The show follows the story of a young woman who goes missing, and the web of lies and secrets that unravels as her loved ones search for her.

Despite the gripping plot and stellar performances from the cast, fans of the show may be disappointed to learn that a second season isn’t in the cards. The decision not to renew the series for another season was made by Netflix, citing a desire to focus on other projects and keep the show’s story contained within a single season.

While it’s always sad to say goodbye to a show we love, sometimes it’s better to let a story end on a high note rather than drag it out past its expiration date. And with ‘Missing You’ delivering a satisfying conclusion to its mystery, perhaps it’s best to leave it as a standalone season that will continue to intrigue and captivate viewers for years to come.

So, while we may not get a second season of ‘Missing You’, we can still appreciate the fantastic storytelling and thrilling twists that made the show a must-watch for fans of suspense and mystery. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll see Harlan Coben’s work adapted for the screen again in a whole new, equally captivating way.
