Harlan Coben”s follow-up to The Five is gearing up for active pre-production, readying for an April shoot.

The Four is once again from prolific shingle Red Production Company whose founder Nicola Shindler will executive produce alongside creator Coben and writer Danny Brocklehurst.

The eight-part drama for Sky 1 first appeared on Production Intelligence in mid-July last year, which we have since updated with key HoDs and shooting schedule.

Coben said at the time of the commission”s announcement: “I am incredibly proud of what we all achieved with The Five.

“Our goal from the start was to create a gripping crime drama that moved you, surprised you – and had a shocking and emotionally satisfying ending. I never wanted to make a sequel to The Five – that story has now been told – but rather, to start fresh and bring a whole new crime drama to the screen.”
