Stay Close: Gripping New Thriller Dropping On Netflix This New Year's Eve

You can watch the trailer below.

The series is from the brilliant mind of American thriller writer Harlan Coben, who has also brought us Netflix smash hits The Stranger and Safe – so we just know this twisty turny thriller will be just as binge-worthy.

Stay Close follows Coben’s usual style of following those in the suburban middle classes hiding a dark secret, following Megan (played by Cush Jumbo), a working mum of three. However, when her old ‘friend’ Lorraine (Sarah Parish) finds her, Megan finds her life turned upside down, with moments from her past coming back to haunt her.

Lorraine’s arrival has an impact on Ray (Richard Armitage, who previously starred in The Stranger) a failed documentary maker with an obsession, and Broome (James Nesbitt) – a detective obsessed with a case he never managed to solve.

Speaking about the new series, Coben explained: “I am so happy and excited to Stay Close (pun intended) with Danny Brocklehurst, Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee — the same team that made The Stranger, Safe and The Five. And talk about a dream-come-true cast – Cush Jumbo, an incendiary and awesome talent; Jimmy Nesbitt, a legendary actor I always wanted to collaborate with; and wow, Richard Armitage back again!”

The series drops on Netflix on 31^st December - so that's our binge-watch sorted.
