The thirteenth Coben adaptation for Netflix, this eight-episode mini-series transforms a bereavement into a chase and a well-oiled script into a ratings hit.
A man convicted of murdering his son. A photo that changes everything. An escape. The premise of * I Will Find You * doesn't reinvent the Coben-style thriller , and that's precisely why it works.
David Burroughs is serving a life sentence for the murder of his son, Matthew. Five years after his incarceration, his former sister-in-law visits him with a photograph: a young boy who bears an uncanny resemblance to the child he believed to be dead. From then on, the Coben machine kicks into gear: red herrings, plot twists, and time jumps. All while David tries to escape to prove his innocence and find his son.
Sam Worthington stars as David Burroughs, alongside Britt Lower as Rachel Mills, the former sister-in-law who becomes his reluctant accomplice. The series was created by Robert Hull, with Harlan Coben serving as executive producer.
The comparison often comes up among viewers: the prison atmosphere, the planned escape, the tangled conspiracies inevitably bring to mind Prison Break . But the DNA remains resolutely Coben's: a tight pace over eight episodes, a family drama, and a darker tone than in his previous series.
Released on Netflix on June 18, 2026, the series garnered 24 million views in just four days, one of the strongest launches of the year on the platform. This thirteenth collaboration between Coben and Netflix confirms a partnership that shows no signs of slowing down. The author, with over 35 published novels to his name, continues to provide the platform with material perfectly suited to the series format.
Mini-series, 8 episodes
Based on the novel I Will Find You by Harlan Coben (2023)
