Summary
The star of Harlan Coben’s Netflix seriesMissing Youtakes a stab at guessing its release date. Coben is a best-selling author of mystery novels who has had a number of his works adapted to the screen for film and television. Most recently, this came in the form of theseriesFool Me Once, which premiered on Netflix on January 1 and became an instant hit. It starred Richard Armitage, who will also appear inMissing You.
Fool Me Onceis currently available to watch on Netflix.
As perDigital Spy, Armitage provides a tease as to whenMissing Youwill be released. According to the actor, he believes thatMissing Youwill take the “same slot” on Netflix asFool Me Oncedid, meaning early January. While the star likely has some insight through his work on the show, it is unclear what level of confidence he has in this release window or how he is getting his information. Check out the full quote from Armitage below:
I think it will be in the same slot [as Fool Me Once] next year, I think it will be on January 1. At a guess!
I’m playing the detective chief inspector opposite an old friend of mine, who I didUncle Vanyawith, Rosalind Eleazar, who is the lead actress in this show. And she is brilliant, she’s absolutely brilliant.

Missing You Already Has Several Aspects Working In Its Favor
In addition to the supposed release window reveal, Armitage’s tease about his character is intriguing. While he did not elaborate on details about his own character, the actor’s words about co-star Rosalind Eleazar provide excitement towards her role. Armitage and Eleazar’s performance in the stage showUncle Vanyawas high-profile, in that it was filmed and released to select theaters. Eleazar has enjoyed a few on-screen roles, such as inSlow HorsesandThe Personal History of David Copperfield, but she is a relatively unknown actress with exciting new talents to offer.
ThoughCoben has already released a number of Netflix shows,Missing Youhas the most pressure to perform out of many of his projects. This is due in large part to the massive success ofFool Me Once, which was the no. 1 show on Netflix for the first two weeks of its release. By February, the series had hit a major milestone by getting over 3 billion viewing minutes on the platform and became one of Netflix’s most watched series of all time. Following this success, the development ofMissing Youwas announced.
IfMissing Youdoes indeed premiere in January 2025, it could be well-timed, in thatFool Me Oncewould be fresh enough in viewers’ minds for it to be used as promotion for the next Coben series, but far enough away to leave them dying for another great mystery. In order to meet the supposed January goal,Missing Youwill have to really keep up with production. So far, it seems like the series is trying to do that, as in addition to Armitage and Eleazar, they have cast multiple other actors, including Lenny Henry and Jessica Plummer.
