Netflix is preparing to release The Stranger, an adaptation of the 2015 Harlan Coben novel. Its cast is led by The Hobbit's Richard Armitage as a man whose world is rocked when a mysterious woman tells him his wife has faked a pregnancy. There are some changes from the book—the gender of the stranger, for example. The trailer also teases a number of dramatic events, murder and plenty of mystery.
When is The Stranger out on Netflix?Netflix has given the series a release date of Thursday, January 30, when the show will be released at one minute past midnight PT (that's 3:01 a.m. east coast time or 2:01 a.m. CT). The mini-series will have eight 50-minutes episodes, all of which will be released at once.

What happens in The Stranger on Netflix?The official Netflix summary for The Stranger reads: "Adam Price is a happily married father of two whose life is turned upside-down after a stranger tells him a secret about his wife. The revelation catapults him into a world of danger."
Though there are some differences between the plot of the book and the series (such as the gender of the eponymous stranger and the location, which has moved from the U.S. to the U.K.), the summary of the Coben novel gives potential viewers a wider idea of what to expect. It reads: "The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world.
"Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.
"Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception, and realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives—it will end them."
Who is in the cast of The Stranger on Netflix?Adam and Corinne Price are played by actors Richard Armitage and Dervla Kirwan. To the American audiences, Armitage is probably best known as Thorin from The Hobbit trilogy of films, while Irish actor Kirwan recently starred in
Amazon Prime Video's White Dragon.
Speaking to Irish News, Armitage said of his role: "I play Adam Price, who's a successful lawyer, family man, a dad and a husband. They are a pretty aspirational family and their existence is happy. They are heavily scheduled with their lives and I feel like sometimes they pass like ships in the night, but it's a good life. Then The Stranger sidles up to Adam at the [soccer] club and drops a bombshell on him."
The eponymous Stranger, meanwhile, is portrayed by Hannah John-Kamen, star of Ant-Man and the Wasp and Ready Player One. Other cast members who might be familiar to American viewers include Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Anthony Head, who plays Adam's father Ed, Game of Thrones' Paul Kaye, playing a violent man trying to track down The Stranger, and The Crying Game's Stephen Rea, playing an ex-cop who Adam gets to help him after a visit from The Stranger.
Making a transition from drama to comedy is Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders, playing a close friend of police detective Johanna Griffin (Siobhan Finneran of Downton Abbey) who gets her own visit from The Stranger.
The Stranger is released on Netflix on Thursday, January 30.

New To Netflix: The Stranger
The Stranger Netflix TV Series 2020
Based on the novel by Harlan Coben, The Stranger forces us to confront a question we all fear – how well do we really know the people closest to us?
Adam Price seems to have a charmed existence. Two wonderful sons, a career in law, and most of all, a watertight marriage to his soulmate, Corinne, a teacher at the local school. Adam is living the dream. Until one night a STRANGER sits down next to him in a bar. “She lied, Adam. Corinne made it up, she was never pregnant… One more thing. If I were you, I’d run DNA checks on your two boys…”
As quickly as the stranger came, she is gone. Adam tries going after her, but it’s too late. As the stranger’s words eat away at Adam, he begins to investigate his wife. To his horror, his greatest fears are realised. When Adam confronts Corinne with evidence that she faked a pregnancy, she flees, leaving only a text message: MAYBE WE NEED SOME TIME APART. YOU TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS. DON’T TRY TO CONTACT ME. IT WILL BE OKAY. JUST GIVE ME A FEW DAYS… PLEASE
Adam makes it his mission to find Corinne but is shocked by what he uncovers. Who was that stranger and what does she have to gain from exposing all these secrets? How are these secrets connected?
Meanwhile Johanna– a local detective – is trying to untangle the mystery of a series of increasingly violent and bizarre crimes. As the death toll mounts, Johanna must race against time to find who is responsible.
If Adam is to find out where Corinne is, he needs to understand more about who this stranger is. While Adam hunts for Corinne, the Stranger continues to target other unsuspecting members of the community, exposing secrets and destroying lives. No one is safe.
In a shocking finale, Adam and Johanna are forced to confront the question of how far they are prepared to go to protect their loved ones. They find themselves caught up in something much bigger than they initially realised. The secrets they have stumbled upon will not only ruin lives, they will end them.\
The series stars Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) as Adam Price, Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) as Heidi Doyle, Siobhan Finneran (Downton Abbey) as Johanna Griffin, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp)as The Stranger, Dervla Kirwan (Ondine) as Corrine Price, Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Ed Price, Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones) as Katz, Shaun Dooley (The Woman In Black)as Doug Tripp, Stephen Rea (V for Vendetta) as Martin Killane, and Kadiff Kirwan (Pokemon Detective Pikachu) as Wes Ross.

'The Stranger' Finally Drops On Netflix This Thursday
Lauren Bell in Entertainment
Last updated 09:10, Thursday 30 January 2020 GMT
Netflix is no stranger to a gritty dark TV series and now the highly anticipated The Stranger has finally dropped on Netflix.
We've certainly been looking forward to it, partially because the plot looks gripping, and partly because the cast line-up looks stellar.
With lead roles snapped up by Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) who will play Adam Price, Dervla Kirwan (Silent Witness) who plays Corrine Price, Siobhan Finneran (A Confession, Happy Valley, Cold Feet) who will play DS Johanna Griffin and Hannah John-Kamen (Game of Thrones) who will play 'the stranger,' it has major appeal. Joining them too is Jennifer Saunders, Paul Kaye and Kadiff Kirwan.
We told you it was packed with notable faces.
But the plot, based on the novel by Harlan Coben, sounds enough to get us tuning in on its own.
The creepy trailer starts to unravel what it's all about with one of the opening lines: "What if our darkest secrets were exposed by a stranger?"
As it rolls onwards, we find out that Corrine has been covering up a big secret - one that saw her lie to her husband Adam about having miscarried. She was in fact never pregnant at all.
But the only reason Adam finds out is because a stranger pops up to reveal the secret, something she seems to keep doing in order to cause devastation to people throughout the trailer.
Soon, Corrine goes missing and suddenly her name pops up in relation to a murder scene, with law enforcement telling Adam: "We have reason to believe your wife was at the scene of a murder".
According to Netflix, the revelations lead Adam down a dark path trying to uncover who his wife really is, but people close to him could end up getting hurt.
The eight-part thriller is now ready to watch (finally!) after a lot of teasing from Netflix over the past months and we will certainly be tuning in.
Weekend plans, sorted.
The Stranger is now available to watch on Netflix.
