Netflix reveals more about Harlan Coben's ‘Missing You’ filmed in Manchester as James Nesbitt joins cast
Busted’s Matt Jay-Willis is also joining Lenny Henry and others in the show.
Netflix has revealed further details about the latest Harlan Coben thriller ‘Missing You’ which is being filmed in Manchester.
James Nesbitt, Matt Jay-Willis, from pop favourites Busted, and Ashley Walters have been confirmed as part of the cast that already included Richard Armitage, Lenny Henry and Steve Pemberton among others.
Crews have been spotted at locations around the city in recent months including at popular celebrity haunt MNKY HSE on Lloyd Street in May.
The synopsis for the five-part series reads: “Eleven years ago Detective Kat Donovan's fiancé Josh - the love of her life - disappeared and she's never heard from him since. Now, swiping profiles on a dating app, she suddenly sees his face and her world explodes all over again. Josh's reappearance will force her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets from her past.”
‘Missing You’ will be the ninth on-screen adaptation from bestselling author Coben through his on-going partnership with Netflix.
It follows 2024’s Fool Me Once, also from Quay Street Productions, which starred Michelle Keegan and is currently at number six in Netflix’s chart of its top 10 most popular English-language shows of all time, with 94 million views since launch in January. That used filming locations in Bolton, Oldham and Alderley Edge.
Richard Fee, who is again executive producer of ‘Missing You’ has previously said the region was a natural choice for filming because of it’s ‘wealth’ of locations.
“We chose to build that geography using locations in the North West because we feel that it offers a lot of wealth of really brilliant locations, from the city centre of Manchester to stately homes,” he said.
