Harlan Coben is back with another gripping Netflix adaptation, and this time, it’s Just One Look that’s set to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Known for his gripping thrillers that blend mystery, suspense, and emotional depth, Coben has once again delivered a series that promises to be as binge-worthy as The Stranger and Stay Close. With a seemingly ordinary photograph setting off a chain of shocking events, Just One Look takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through secrets, deception, and the lengths one person will go to uncover the truth.
Here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s latest must-see Coben adaptation (that’s also climbing up the Netflix TV chart). We’ll take a look, below, at the cast, a summary of the new series, and talk a little about why Coben’s shows tend to do so well on the streaming giant. This link will also take you directly to Coben’s Netflix collection of shows, which is now up to 10 titles including Just One Look.
“The idea that something from your past haunts you, something comes back — gets buried, and comes after you, I think we all understand those feelings,” Coben said in an interview here about Just One Look, the idea for which he says came to him when he was thumbing through a collection of old photographs and found one he didn’t remember taking.

Who’s in it? The cast of Just One Look includes:
- Maria Dębska as Greta Remiewska, a jewelry designer
- Cezary Łukaszewicz as Jacek Ławniczak, Greta’s husband
- Piotr Stramowski as Jimmy D, a rock star
- Monika Krzywkowska as Sandra Kowalska, Jacek’s older sister and a lawyer

What’s it about? Here’s the official summary of Just One Look, which is currently the streamer’s #9 show in the US. “Greta’s (Dębska) trust in her husband, Jacek (Łukaszewicz), falters when she finds a mysterious photo of him that she’s never seen before. The picture is from a long time ago, and Jacek isn’t the only one in it — among those in the snapshot is a woman whose face is crossed out.
“While Jacek says he’s clueless about the picture’s origin, Greta’s not convinced. And when he disappears shortly after she confronts him, she’s certain the timing is no coincidence. As Greta searches for answers, she must face a traumatic event from her past — an arson attack at a concert that left her scarred and shell-shocked.”
