If you live in the United Kingdom and happen to be looking for a new television show to get into, you’re in luck! Bestselling author Harlan Coben (The Stranger, Fool Me Once) has a new British crime drama called The Five coming to Sky 1 on April 15th.
News has been building around The Five for months, so it wasn’t a great surprise when the author made the announcement on his Twitter account early Thursday morning. That said, I’m personally excited–and genuinely hope this airs in the U.S. at some point.
The Five, created by Coben, stars Tom Cullen (The Last Days on Mars) and Hannah Arterton (Walking on Sunshine). It’s produced by Red Production Company and, according to IMDB, has already filmed ten episodes.

This is an exciting time for Coben, who’s new thriller Fool Me Once comes out on March 22, 2016. I’m not one that’s quick to crown a book or hand out awards, but if Fool Me Once doesn’t win Best Book of the Year by someone, I’ll be completely stunned. I can’t remember the last time I loved a thriller as much as this one. Read my spoiler-free review here.
