Harlan Coben has become one of the most popular names in the world when it comes to the British crime thriller. Coben has penned a copious number of novels that have been turned into limited series on some of the biggest streaming services in the world, such as Netflix, Paramount+, and even Prime Video. It’s been a relatively quiet year for Coben in 2026, though, whose only scripted project is Run Away. All episodes of the thriller series debuted on Netflix on New Year’s Day, and although it had the Stranger Things series finale to contend with, it still held its own at the top of streaming charts. Coben also recently teamed with Peaky Blinders veteran Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy for Lazarus, the hit series streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
Coben has been involved in a non-scripted project this year, though, which is Harlan Coben’s Final Twist. All five episodes of the documentary series aired on CBS before they began streaming on Paramount+, and now that we’re more than two months removed from the Season 1 finale, Paramount has finally decided the fate of the show. CBS announced this afternoon that Harlan Coben’s Final Twist has been renewed for Season 2, with more episodes confirmed to premiere before the end of this year. Upon the show’s return, new installments will air every Monday at 10 pm, following new episodes of FBI and CIA, which are scheduled to come out at 8 pm and 9 pm, respectively.
