Harlan Coben has teased his next Netflix series following the success of Fool Me Once.

The eight-part series, which stars Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley, has been a hit with audiences ever since its release on January 1, with its numerous plot twists ideal for binge viewing.

Fool Me Once was the seventh adaptation of his work by Netflix, following other series such as The Stranger and Stay Close, but Coben has revealed that work is already underway on further adaptations.

"We still have a few [books] left!" he told RadioTimes. "We're doing one right now in Poland based on my book, Just One Look - we're filming and Netflix Poland is working on it. [We're] also working on one in South America, believe it or not.

"There's no doubt that if Netflix wants us back, which hopefully everyone watching will make this happen, I'll be working with Nicola [Shindler], Richard [Fee] and Danny [Brocklehurst] on at least another one or two. We want to keep this going, we love this kind of yearly thing if we can.

"We skipped last year but we'd love to try doing it where we have that New Year's Day release for everybody, they can watch us hungover and we can join them in the new year. This team has just been a dream to work with.

"People always ask me why I set so many here in the UK when the books are US-based and it's because that team has been such a delight to work with - we started eight years ago [with] The Five for Sky. As long as Netflix wants us, which I think they do, I'd love to keep working with them."

Fool Me Once follows Keegan's Maya, whose world is turned upside down when her presumed late husband (Richard Armitage) is spotted on camera, and the truth about his murder is finally revealed.

Fool Me Once is streaming on Netflix.
