Background[]
In August 2018, Harlan Coben signed a five-year deal with Netflix. Under the deal, Coben would have 14 of his novels created as Netflix series, with him serving as producer on all of them.[2][3] Stay Close follows other Coben-created Netflix originals Safe (2018), The Stranger, The Woods (both 2020) and The Innocent.[3][4]
It's such a pleasure to be setting off on another thrill-ride with Harlan [Coben], Danny [Brocklehurst] and Nicola [Shindler], as we dive into a brand new story about people who keep shocking secrets from their families and closest friends. We're excited to have the opportunity again to hook Netflix viewers around the world with a compelling mystery that will keep people up late into the night.
