The eight-episode mystery drama tells the story of barrister and single father Paul 'Cope' Copeland, whose sister Camille vanished from a summer camp two decades earlier. After her disappearance tore his family apart, Cope was determined to rebuild his life but, twenty years later, the traumatic event returns to haunt him after the body of a man who was believed to have been murdered alongside Camille unexpectedly turns up. With the help of Cope's first love, Lucy, the lawyer is determined to turn every skeleton out of the closet in his search for answers – and to find out whether Camille might still be alive.
The cast also includes Tom Bateman, Mandeep Dhillon, Pearce Quigley, Rade Sherbedgia, James Buckley, Shannon Watson, Pamela Nomvete, Kerry Howard, Roger Barclay, Simon Lowe, Mila Moring, Dean Fagan, Tom Allen, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Charlotte Beaumont, Christopher Harper, Tre Jordan Holmes, Nicola Stephenson, Harry Goodson-Bevan, Joe Dolan, Thea Achillea, Flynn Allen and Hannah McIver.
Coben said the following in a statement: "'The Woods' is a haunting and very personal story. It has everything you expect from us — twisty, turning, gasp-inducing — but at the core is a story of old love and yearning. Working with a cast led by Tom Bateman, Michelle Keegan, Mandeep Dhillon, Pearce Quigley, James Buckley, Tom Allen – it's an embarrassment of riches".
Coben' longtime U.K. collaborators Quay Street Productions, which is part of ITV Studios, return to produce the series. The show is written by Danny Brocklehurst ("Fool Me Once"), Charlotte Coben, Tom Farrelly and Joe Forrest. Directors include Andy De Emmony, Claire Tailyour and Isher Sahota. Executive producers include Coben, Nicola Shindler, Richard Fee, Danny Brocklehurst, and Charlotte Coben. Will McDonagh is producer and Orla Maxwell casting director.
