Meet the cast of Netflix's Safe
The child abduction drama from crime author Harlan Coben is available to stream on Netflix.
Ever since US author Harlen Coben struck a five-year deal with Netflix back in 2018, the TV adaptations of his novels have been gripping a worldwide audience.
While fans might have enjoyed his latest Netflix adaptation, Stay Close, which is based on his 2012 novel of the same name, fans will be thrilled to hear that it isn’t the only Coben drama viewers can feast their eyes on with a Netflix subscription.
Safe, the first of Coben’s shows to be adapted for the streaming giant back in 2018, is currently available to stream on Netflix.
The gripping series boasts a star-studded cast, with Dexter’s Michael C Hall and Sherlock’s Amanda Abbington leading the way.
Hall portrays a surgeon grieving the loss of his wife who recently died from cancer, a huge loss which puts a heavy strain on his relationship with his two daughters. When one of them ominously disappears at a house party, he sets out on a mission to find her and unearths some horrendous secrets along the way.
