Netflix will release Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You on June 18, bringing the author’s 2023 novel to screen as an eight-episode mystery series. The show stars Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, and Milo Ventimiglia, with Robert Hull serving as showrunner and co-creator alongside Coben.

I Will Find You follows David Burroughs, played by Worthington, a father serving a life sentence for the murder of his son. David maintains his innocence, and the story turns when he receives evidence that his child may still live. That discovery pushes him to break out of prison and search for the truth, pulling him into a story built around family secrets, deception, grief, and desperate questions.
The premise places the series firmly within Coben’s familiar territory. His stories often build tension through hidden family histories, sudden revelations, and characters forced to question everything around them. In I Will Find You, the central mystery begins with a devastating conviction and grows through one impossible possibility: David’s son may have survived. That question drives the series forward and gives the story its emotional pressure.
Coben will executive produce I Will Find You through his company, Final Twist Productions. Hull also executive produces, joined by Bryan Wynbrandt and Steven Lilien, both known for Quantum Leap, and John Weber.
I Will Find You marks the first series from Coben’s Netflix deal to take place in the United States. His previous Netflix projects have taken place across Europe, including the UK, France, and Spain, across four languages. Coben described the shift as a return home, saying, “Netflix has been an amazing creative partner all over the globe – and now we get to come home and do it here in the United States. We have a dream team of talent.”
The series continues a large slate of Coben adaptations on Netflix. Run Away arrived earlier this year, while The Woods currently remains in production. His previous Netflix series include Missing You, Fool Me Once, Stay Close, The Stranger, Safe, The Innocent, Gone for Good, and Hold Tight.
Coben’s reach also extends far beyond streaming. His suspense novels appear in 46 languages, have reached No. 1 bestseller status in more than a dozen countries, and count 80 million books in print worldwide. I Will Find You now brings another of his page-turning stories to Netflix, this time through a father’s search for his son and the truth behind a crime that changed his life.
