Need a new series to be hooked on? Prime Video just dropped a fresh show that’ll leave you guessing with each episode. Harlan Coben’s Shelter is based on the novel of the same name and is full of mystery and suspense that won’t just captivate fans of the novel.


The show first aired on Thursday (Aug. 18) and currently has the first three episodes available to watch. Viewers can expect to follow Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) who, after the traumatic death of his father, moves to a the town of Kasselton in New Jersey. With his mother in rehab, he’s left in the care of his aunt and navigates his new life and school. When a creepy old woman appears and tells him his father is alive and a girl is kidnapped all within the same timeframe, Mickey begins to think he’s going crazy and, with the help of a couple new friends, tries to unravel the mystery surrounding his father’s death and it’s possible connection to the girl’s disappearance.


In true Coben fashion, the show brings just as much thrill, suspense and cliffhangers that’ll help take you through the rest of the summer — and potentially have you begging for more.


Other cast members in the show include Adrian Greensmith, Sage Linder, Abigale Corrigan, Constance Zimmer, Tovah Feldshuh, Hunter Emery, Didi Conn, Brian Altemus, Lee Aaron Rosen, Samantha Bugliaro and Manuel Uriza.
