Renowned for his addictive storytelling full of twists and turns, Harlan Coben's The Five, was created by the number one international best-selling author as his first original story for television.

Distributed by STUDIOCANAL, this roller-coaster thriller follows a group of friends who are haunted by the disappearance of one of their younger brothers twenty years earlier, while he was in their care. The group is forced to revisit the past when the missing boy's DNA turns up at the scene of a murder. Could he really still be alive? If so, why has he come back? And how is he linked to this murder?

The show first aired on Sky One last year and was an instant hit with audiences. Boyd Hilton of Heat declared the show to be 'absolutely riveting from the very start,' while Michael Hogan of the Daily Telegraph described Harlan Coben's first original story for television as 'a compelling thriller with a killer premise.'
