'The Stranger' Creator Harlan Coben Has Announced His New Show Is Coming Next Month

When Netflix show, The Stranger arrived on our screens earlier this year, we were all hooked to the juicy drama and deceit.

And now, Harlan Coben - author of The Stranger and Safe - has announced another TV adaptation is on the way. This time, it will be based on his novel, The Woods.

Not only does this mean we have *another* Harlan Coben adaptation to look forward to, but there's not long to wait either, with the series set to drop on Netflix in a matter of weeks.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the author wrote: "Thrilled to announce this: THE WOODS. Netflix. Worldwide. June 12. Put it your watchlist now."

The Woods will be based on the book by the same name - and it sounds pretty spooky. The book focuses on a group of four teenagers who disappear in the woods while at summer camp.

Twenty years on from the mysterious event, Paul Copeland - a prosecutor who is the brother of one of the missing children - is linked to a homicide victim whose body has been found.

It raises a whole host of questions. Is the body one of the campers? Is Paul's sister alive? It sounds so gripping.

Although following the same plot, the TV adaptation is slightly different and is set in Poland.

Speaking about the show, Harlan said: "I'm so proud to be teaming up with this incredible cast and crew from Poland - and helping introduce their brilliant work to Netflix's global audience."

The six part series will arrive on Netflix on 12th June, joining Harlan's other two adaptations already on the streaming platform - The Stranger and Safe.

The Stranger focuses on the life of Adam Price (Richard Armitage) and his seemingly perfect family life. But one day, when an unknown stranger reveals that his wife may have been keeping a dark and shocking secret from him, Adam is determined to unveil the truth.

When it first arrived on Netflix, viewers called it 'a total mind f***' and 'totally addictive'.

With 32 books under his belt, there's hopefully *plenty* more telly adaptations to come from Harlan Coben. For now, this one's marked in our calendars!
