In the Netflix limited series “Missing You,” Rosalind Eleazar of “Slow Horses” stars as a woman seeking answers about the murder of her father — and her missing fiancée. It’s based on the novel by Harlan Coben, but set in England instead of in New York City.
It’s the ninth Netflix series based on the mystery writer’s novels and several cast members, and some of the cast, Richard Armitage and James Nesbitt, starred in previous series based on his works.
Here’s who plays who in the series, which is now streaming on Netflix, and where you might have seen them before.
The “Slow Horses” star plays Detective Inspector Kat Donovan, who is still trying to solve the mystery of her father’s murder — and why her fiancé Josh mysteriously disappeared 11 years ago.
Armitage, who previously starred in the Netflix adaptations of Coben’s “Fool Me Once” and “The Stranger,” plays Sergeant Ellis Stagger, who wants to take Kat off the case of a missing person when it appears to be linked to her fiancé Josh.
The actor and rapper, who’s known for “Top Boy,” “Cuffs” and “Bulletproof,” plays writer Josh Buchanan. When “Missing You” begins, Josh disappeared from Kat’s life without a word 11 years ago, even though they were engaged. When he appears to have resurfaced, Kate must decide whether to contact him and demand answers or move on and let him go.
Nesbitt previously starred in the Netflix series “Stay Close,” based on the Coben novel of the same name. Most recently, he starred in the BBC One series “Bloodlands” as DCI Tom Brannick. Here, he plays a criminal kingpin whom Kat suspects was responsible for her father’s murder… if only she could prove it.
Malone is known for “Doctor Who” and the Nebula TV series “The Prince.” Aqua is one of Kat’s best friends, but Kat becomes suspicious when she thinks Aqua is keeping secrets about Josh from her.
Stacey is a private investigator whose skills and connections come in handy when Kat goes looking for Josh. Plummer, who is also a singer, is known for playing Chantelle Atkins on “EastEnders.” She previously costarred in the limited series “The Girl Before” with David Oyelowo.
Brigid Zengeni plays Kat’s mother Odette, who is happy to leave the past in the past. Her previous TV credits include “Prosper,” “The Artful Dodger” and “Totally Completely Fine.”
The actor, who played Sebastian on “Killing Eve,” co-stars as a new detective who helps Kat with her investigations into a missing man and Josh’s reappearance. Hamblett’s other credits include the British version of “Ghosts” and the Paramount+ series “The Burning Girls.”
The “Van Der Valk” star plays career criminal Monte Leburne, who confessed to the murder of Kat’s father. When Kat learns that he’s dying, she knows it’s her last chance to get answers from him.
The stand-up comedian and actor plays Kat’s late father, Clint Donovan, a police officer whose stabbing death years before still haunts her. Henry also plays Sadoc Burrows in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”
The actor and writer, who co-created the classic horror sitcom “The League of Gentlemen” with “Sherlock” creator Mark Gatiss, plays Titus, a dog breeder with a criminal secret.
The actor, who plays Jamie on the British series “Wreck” and also starred in “Ladhood,” co-stars as Brendan, who seeks Kat’s help when his mother goes missing.
