Richard Armitage has revealed a major update about a new drama series, written by Harlan Coben, in the works – and we can't wait!
The actor, who appeared in the previous two Harlan Coben series, The Stranger and Stay Close, which were released on Netflix, was speaking exclusively to HELLO! about the release of his new book, Geneva, when he admitted he's hoping for a Harlan 'hat-trick'.

"There's a possibility of a third Harlan Coben series next year. I'm looking for a hat-trick, but it's unconfirmed," he began, adding: "There's a possibility since he's become a really good friend and as has Nicola Shindler at Quay Street.

"I really love working with them so whether it's that project or something else, I'm sure we'll collaborate in the future."

Netflix dramas The Stranger and Stay Close were both adapted from Harlan Coben novels and featured, in addition to Richard, a whole host of big names in the cast including Siobhan Finneran, James Nesbitt, Cush Jumbo and Sarah Parish.

Harlan's crime fiction has developed a huge fanbase over the years, so it's no wonder that Richard reached out to the novelist when writing his own book, Geneva, which Richard narrated himself for Audible along with actress Nicola Walker.

"It's tricky because when I'm working with Harlan, I'm an actor - that's his lane and that's my lane. He lives in New York, and I met up with him a couple of times to pick his brains about the editing process, and he gave me some brilliant advice. He's been very supportive."
