Mysterious new Netflix thriller from the person behind The Stranger will be your next binge

A new creepy thriller from the writer of The Stranger is on Netflix, and it could be your next binge-watch. 

Harlan Coben, the brains behind The Stranger and Safe, two suspense-thrillers on Netflix that were both filmed across Greater Manchester, now has a new thriller out on the streaming service that’s equally as addictive.

The Stranger was massive when it first came out back in January – fast-paced and backed full of suspense. 

Coben has a 14-book deal with Netflix, and The Woods is a little different than the last two, keeping everyone on their toes. 

The Woods, directed by Leszek Dawid, is a huge mix of complex characters, something Coben has become famous for. 

It is darker and moodier than The Stranger with a slower tempo to the big Netflix title. 

The series is set in Warsaw, Poland so you can either watch in dubbed English or with subtitles – as recommended by Coben.

The captivating mystery thriller based on Coben’s book has stormed the Netflix charts, coming in at number one in its first week of release.

The story flickers between 1994 and 2019, following Pawel Kopiński,  who worked as a chaperone at a summer camp when his sister, Kamila, disappeared.

The story follows Pawel’s journey during the disappearance of his sister. Two bodies were found in the woods, but his sister was never found.

25 years later, Pawel is asked to identify a homicide victim. The body turns out to be the boy who also went missing with his sister. 

Pawel, convinced his sister is still alive, begins to conduct his own investigation and ends up uncovering dangerous secrets from his family.

The series stars Grzegorz Damięcki, Agnieszka Grochowska, Wiktoria Filus and Hubert Miłkowski. It also features Adam Wietrzyński, Jakub Gola, Martyna Byczkowska and Kinga Jasik.

The Woods promises to be the perfect thing for your next day binge on the sofa!
