Netflix is getting into the summer page-turner spirit with a new adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel: Gone for Good.

Guillaume Lucchesi had drawn a line under the terrible tragedy which saw the two people he loved the most die: Sonia, his first love, and Fred, his brother. Ten years later, Judith, his new lover, suddenly disappears. To find her, Guillaume will have to face all the truths hidden by his family and friends, as well as the ones he’d decided to ignore. For better, but mostly for worse.

Directed by Juan Carlos Medina, the series stars Finnegan Oldfield, Nailia Harzoune, Guillaume Gouix, Nicolas Duvauchelle and Garance Marillier. It premieres on 13th August. Here’s the trailer:

 

Gone for Good: Season 1 is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

It follows Guillaume Lucchesi (Finnegan Oldfield), who is now in his thirties and thought he had drawn a line under the terrible tragedy which saw the two people he loved the most die: Sonia (Garance Marillier), his first love, and Fred (Nicolas Duvauchelle), his brother. Ten years later, Judith (Nailia Harzoune), whose love has made his life worth living again, suddenly disappears during his mother’s funeral. To find her, Guillaume will have to face all the truths that were hidden from him by his family and friends, as well as those that he’d long decided to ignore. For better, but mostly for worse.

“Netflix has been a wonderful partner in adapting my novels in a variety of countries – and it’s a particular thrill to be making Gone For Good in France. I’m honored to be working with this incredibly talented French cast and crew,” said Coben in a statement.

Damien Couvreur, head of original french series at Netflix, added: “We are so excited that Harlan Coben and Calt Studio are bringing this gripping story to France. Gone for Good has all the ingredients of his great thrillers that have consistently sparked joy with our members ”
