"That has all wrapped up now," he told the Radio Times. "It was amazing... it's a great story, slightly shorter in format, but starring Lenny Henry and my co-star from Uncle Vanya, Rosalind Eleazar.
"I look forward to seeing that, I think January next year."
He added that he can see why the adaptations of Coben's work have accrued such a big following over the years, stating: "Harlan Coben is the master of the sort of cliffhanger, and his books are page-turners that you can't put down, and they adapt so brilliantly for television drama.
"I think Netflix has just realised that his back catalogue, his canon of work, is just deliciously adaptable, and they could just keep going like this for probably the next 10 years, and I don't know if I'll be in all of them. I never say never."

He added that he was incredibly surprised to be asked back to do a third Coben show, and then even more so when he was asked about doing a fourth.
"I said, 'You're crazy. You're absolutely crazy, but yes, I'd love to,'" he said. "I describe myself as their lucky underpants, that they just think they don't want to do one without me... A hat-trick is three goals, isn't it? I think a poker is four — I'm about to do the Harlan Coben poker."
