Lets face it, we've been far from short on proper good telly so far in 2024.

Whether it's Harlan Coben's binge-worthy Fool Me Once starring Michelle Keegan, news about The Traitors celebrity spin-off or American Nightmare which has left viewers 'speechless' - January has been jam-packed with banger after banger.

And, to add even more excitement to the mix, Netflix has now confirmed two more new Coben series are in the works following the HUGE success of Fool Me Once, and fans are calling on Michelle to star in them.

After binge-watching Fool Me Once in one sitting, it's no wonder that Netflix viewers all over were hungry for their latest Coben fix.

Well, it seems eager Coben fans won't have to wait much longer now as the exciting news was announced on X, formerly Twitter, with the official Netflix account confirming: "Following the recent success of Fool Me Once (Top 10 in 91 countries!) we’re excited to announce two new @HarlanCoben limited series adaptations…"

The streaming giant added: "Missing You will begin production this spring, and will then be followed by Run Away."

A second demanded: "HURRY SOMEONE GET MICHELLE KEEGAN ON HER PHONE."

"Richard Armitage making some more dollar," joked a third.

According to Coben's website, the #1 New York Times Best Seller is a 'heart-pounding thriller about the ties we have to our past… and the lies that bind us together'.

The official synopsis states: "It’s a profile, like all the others on the online dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she’s ignored for decades come crashing down on her. Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart 18 years ago.

"Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most vulnerable."

It continues: "As the body count mounts and Kat’s hope for a second chance with Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever loved—her former fiancé, her mother, and even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained.

"With lives on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the strength to survive what she finds there."

Literal chills.
