And of course, exposed secrets and lies make for the juiciest TV. Life in a tight-knit, affluent Warsaw suburb slowly unravels when a teen goes missing shortly after his friend’s death, exposing secrets and lies in the process. Want to know more about the series? Below, we'll introduce you to everything you need to know about Hold Tight, its cast, its connection to The Woods and the rest of Harlan Coben's works on Netflix. The series is a sequel of sorts to The Woods - it shares multiple characters - and is the sixth of Coben’s books to be adapted for Netflix. Debuting in April 2022, Hold Tight follows a woman on a harrowing search for her son, who disappears after his friend is found dead. The latest, based on 2008’s Hold Tight, is his second Polish-language original Netflix series (after 2020’s The Woods). Which is why many of bestselling American author Harlan Coben’s novels have been adapted into series in several countries. Crime thrillers are universal - tense plotting and suspenseful reveals are exciting in any language, and (unfortunately) the dark side of human nature is present in every culture.
