Fool Me Once also stars Joanna Lumley as Judith, Joe's overly-protective mother, as well as Peaky Blinders' Emmett J. Scanlen and Dino Fetscher.
Ahead of the show's release, Coben recently praised Keegan for her performance as Maya.
"She's terrific. She's also just a great person, but to have her as your number one and be able to bring, every day, something positive to set, everyone loved her," he told Radio Times. "She's exactly what you think she's going to be. She's really great.
"I knew a bit about her beforehand, but obviously I don't know her as well as my British counterparts. I took a deep dive when we were discussing who to play the role, and she really delivered — she works so hard and she's also just a delight on set."
Fool Me Once premieres on Netflix on January 1.
