Netflix has announced a new limited-series adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel "I Will Find You." This marks the first U.S. scripted series under Coben’s creative partnership with Netflix. The eight-episode series will be adapted and showrun by Robert Hull, known for his work on "God Friended Me," "Quantum Leap," and "Alcatraz."
The storyline follows an innocent father who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his son. He receives evidence suggesting that his child may still be alive, prompting him to break out of prison to uncover the truth.
Harlan Coben will serve as executive producer through his company, Final Twist Productions. Alongside him, Robert Hull will also take on the roles of co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner. Bryan Wynbrandt and Steven Lilien from "Quantum Leap," along with John Weber, are listed as executive producers.
This series continues Coben's collaboration with Netflix, following successful projects such as "Fool Me Once," "Stay Close," "The Stranger," "The Innocent," "Gone for Good," "Hold Tight," and "The Woods." Upcoming releases include "Missing You" set for New Year’s Day 2025, alongside other titles like "Caught" and "Run Away."
Robert Hull expressed enthusiasm about the project: “I've been a fan of Harlan's novels for as long as I can remember and the chance to bring this story to life with him, Jinny, Peter, and the incredible team at Netflix has been a dream come true.”
Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series (US & Canada) at Netflix stated: “Harlan's gripping stories are beloved around the world and have consistently captivated fans with their trademark twists and turns, dramatic cliffhangers, and compelling mysteries. There is no one like Harlan and his first US scripted series with Netflix will be no exception. We know he and Robby will deliver the same thrilling experience that audiences have come to expect and which sets it apart as a must-watch event.”
