Given that there are eleven books in the series, there is so much for Netflix to explore across multiple seasons, which was not the case for Fool Me Once.
Coben has also shared with Deadline that the goal for this new series is for it to not be limited like the previous ones. He explained that with this series, there are so many books and stories and the character was meant to be an ongoing one. This has translated into the goal being for the series to be an ongoing one as well.
