Searching for a Harlan Coben show to watch on Netflix? Consider that case closed.
The prolific mystery and thriller author and TV producer has not only had a slew of his novels adapted for the small screen, but has also tackled TV projects outside of his literary works. Coben’s catalog spans streamers like Netflix and Prime Video, though the author inked a deal with the former in 2018 that was renewed in 2022, per What’s On Netflix.
The streamer makes it easy for Coben’s fans, offering The Harlan Coben Collection to simplify the search for any of his 13 titles on Netflix, which includes his latest project, I Will Find You, which is an adaptation of his 2023 novel of the same name. Series star Sam Worthington told DECIDER that one of the “most exciting” parts of working on this series was “to try and find the authenticity” within the twists and turns that Coben sets up. Meanwhile Worthington’s co-star Britt Lower felt that another exciting aspect was how “sometimes things that you weren’t reading on the page are coming to life” while shooting.
