About Stay Close
Stay Close is the latest Netflix project for Harlan Coben, as part of his current five-year deal with the streamer to develop 14 of his titles into film and TV dramas, which includes Polish original The Woods, Spanish original The Innocent starring Mario Casas and directed by Oriol Paulo, the film Six Years, written and directed by David Ayer, and Gone for Good, which is currently filming in France
Headshots
Stay Close is based on Harlan Coben's #1 New York Times bestselling novel of the same name
Stay Close goes into production Spring 2021
Filming will take place in and around Manchester and the North West of England
Nicola Shindler, Harlan Coben, Danny Brocklehurst, Richard Fee and Netflix, the team behind smash hit The Stranger {which also starred Richard Armitage}, 2018's Safe and The Five {Sky/Netflix} collaborate on their fourth drama.
Logline: With trademark thrills, gripping suspense, a crime to solve and with secrets of past crimes beginning to unravel, Stay Close questions how much you really know someone. Three people living comfortable lives each conceal dark secrets from those closest to them; Megan (Jumbo), a working mother of three; Ray (Armitage), the once promising documentary photographer, now stuck in a dead-end job pandering to celebrity-obsessed rich kids, and Broome (Nesbitt), a detective unable to let go of a missing person's cold case. Lorraine (Parish), an old friend from Megans past, delivers some shocking news which will impact on all three characters. 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?
Stay Close is a RED Production Company (a STUDIOCANAL company) production commissioned for Netflix. The executive producers of the new eight-part series created by Harlan Coben, and based on his best-selling novel, are Nicola Shindler (Finding Alice, Happy Valley, It's A Sin), writers Harlan Coben (The Woods) and Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Come Home), and Richard Fee (The Stranger, Prey).
Juliet Charlesworth (Happy Valley, Traces) is series producer and Daniel O'Hara (The Stranger, Brassic) is lead director and an executive producer. Sheila Nortley produces with Lindy Heymann as director for block two.
