Harlan Coben Floats Possible Return of The Stranger
In a Collider interview, Harlan Coben said he could see bringing back The Stranger, but has not developed the idea beyond one sentence.
Harlan Coben has one character he could imagine revisiting: The Stranger. In an interview with Collider, the author said the character is the one he could see bringing back.
Coben explained that the character escapes and can drop bombs on new people. That premise, he suggested, leaves room for more story.
But Coben was clear that the idea has not gone further. He admitted he has not developed it beyond that single sentence.
The comments arrive after a strong year for Coben on Netflix. The streamer's most-watched shows over the past year included crime thrillers such as Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and two new Harlan Coben thrillers.
Among those, the eight-episode mystery series I Will Find You, starring Sam Worthington and Britt Lower, became one of Netflix's top ten most-watched English original scripted shows of all time.
