Plot Overview

In ‘Caught,’ journalist Ema Garay specializes in bringing criminals to light. Her investigation into Martina Schulz’s disappearance points to Leo Mercer, a philanthropist with a seemingly impeccable reputation.

Harlan Coben struck a five-year deal with Netflix in 2018 to adapt some of his most famous and successful novels. The shows did very well on the platform, so they renewed the deal to continue the partnership, which now includes a Latin American adaptation.

Coben penned 35 novels that have reportedly sold 80 million copies and have been translated into 46 languages. Netflix already boasts a slate filled with limited series adaptations, most of them in English. However, 2025 brought the first Latin American adaptation of Caught, which is already a hit on the platform, per Tudum.

Caught is not the first series in Spanish, as Coben's 2005 novel The Innocent was adapted into an eight-episode limited series in 2021 starring Mario Casas, Alexandra Jiménez, Aura Garrido, José Coronado, and Martina Gusmá. However, it's the first one from Latin America.

The limited series Caught, which is based on Coben's 2010 novel of the same name, premiered on the platform on Mar.

But she soon finds her world turned upside down when she crosses paths with Leo Mercer, a well-respected community figure, who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation into the disappearance of a young woman. As Ema delves deeper into the case,...

The newly released trailer for Caught teases the latest Harlan Coben adaptation coming to Netflix. Filmed against the scenic backdrop of Patagonia, Argentina, the upcoming six-episode miniseries marks the first-ever Latin American adaptation of the bestselling work from the mystery and thriller novelist. Netflix’s ongoing collaboration with Coben has sparked a long line of successful TV adaptations, including Fool Me Once, Stay Close, and most recently Missing You, which topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 for English-language series upon its release earlier this year.

Missing You is one of Netflix's most popular shows at the moment. With all five episodes of the mystery thriller dropping nearly a week ago, most viewers have already binge-watched them all. Now, they're left wondering if a new batch of episodes will be released soon in a Missing You season 2.

Unfortunately, this will not happen. Like all of Harlan Coben's previous Netflix shows, Missing You is a limited series. This means it was designed to be a self-contained series with a complete story told within a single season. While some may argue that the show ended in a way where more story could be told, that's just not going to happen. The mystery thriller pretty much ended the same way the Missing You book did.

However, don't feel sad! Harlan Coben has several new Netflix series in the works that'll fill the void. In fact, one of...

Netflix's newest Harlan Coben show, Missing You, will not be the streaming service's last adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel. In 2018, Harlan Coben signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix (via Deadline). The deal includes Netflix adapting 14 of Harlan Coben's books into TV shows. So far, Netflix has made eight Harlan Coben TV shows, with Harlan Coben as the executive producer. There are a few more of Coben's books that Netflix plans to adapt. Most recently, Netflix adapted Missing You, based on Harlan Coben's novel of the same name.

Netflix's Missing You has a diverse cast of characters and a thrilling plot with many twists and turns. Missing You's ending is a jaw-dropping finale that wraps up the show's storylines. Similarly to Netflix's other adaptations of Harlan Coben's books, Netflix made big changes in their adaptation of Missing You. While some of these changes improved the narrative, some were not great.

Netflix gave a sneak peek at its 2025 line-up of non-English programming yesterday with shows such as The Leopard (Italy), Last Samurai Standing (Japan), The Empress S2 (Germany), El Refugio Atómico (Spain), Senna (Brazil), Alice in Borderland S3 (Japan), and even this year’s One Hundred Years of Solitude (Colombia).

“People like the authenticity of local stories,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said.

“When you try to make something that appeals to everyone, you just end up making something that appeals to no one.” It’s why Bajaria encourages her teams to be ambitious and support the vision of creators with the “goal to make shows and films that resonate in their home country first.”

Netflix shouted out the stat that they dub in 36 languages and subtitle shows in 33 languages. Bajaria also said that 80% of Netflix subs watch Korean content.
