Another gripping Netflix crime drama series adapted from a Harlan Coben novel, following the success of shows like Safe, and The Stranger. Stay Close is adapted from a Harlan Coben novel of the same name that follows the lives of three people whose past secrets are catching up to them. Read the official synopsis for the new series here:
“With trademark thrills, gripping suspense and secrets of past crimes beginning to unravel, ‘Stay Close’ questions how much you really know someone. Four people each conceal dark secrets from those closest to them; Megan (Cush Jumbo) a working mother of three, Ray (Richard Armitage), a once-promising documentary photographer, Broome (James Nesbitt) a detective unable to let go of a missing person’s cold case, and Lorraine (Sarah Parish), an old friend of Megan’s. As the past comes back to haunt them, threatening to ruin their lives and the lives of those around them, what will be their next move?”
Who is Behind Stay Close?
The series is produced by Harlan Coben, as is his deal with Netflix, with Irish director Daniel O’Hara directing. O’Hara also worked with Coben on the incredible The Stranger, so we can’t wait to see what the pair brings to the table with this show.
