Here’s everything you need to know about the new series.

In the Missing You trailer, Kat celebrates her engagement to Josh - before he disappears from her life without any explanation.

11 years later, she stumbles upon her former love on a dating app and is determined to finally get the answers she’s been looking for. But something isn’t adding up, and Kat isn’t sure who she can trust. The trailer ends with a voice telling her: “I don’t know what kind of truth you’re gonna find out there, but I don’t think you’re going to like it.”

Coben’s novel takes place in New York City, but the series adaptation relocates the story to the UK.
