Harlan Coben’s recent Netflix thriller “I Will Find You” is Netflix’s biggest new series of 2026. It premiered June 18 and reached 85 million views globally in its first week. Coben’s first series set in America, it is based on his 2023 book of the same name. Starring Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia and Chi McBride, the series follows a jailed father accused of killing his son. He finds out his son might still be alive and breaks out of jail to find him and prove his innocence.

Most likely, you got a taste of The Cobe and now you yearn for more twists, turns and drama. This is an easy problem to solve—the prolific writer has 12 adaptations on the streaming platform, all of which he has been involved with as executive producer. Not to mention there’s always the bestselling author’s 30 novels if you prefer to read your Coben.

And if 12 doesn’t seem like enough to keep you entertained (I know it’s hot out, but go outside once in a while and get some vitamin D), there’s more Coben coming. In early July, Netflix announced that Colin Woodell, KJ Apa and Diane Guerrero will star in its new series “Myron Bolitar.” The show is an adaptation of the Coben book series that began with 1995’s “Deal Breaker.”  

“After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar (Woodell) reinvents himself as a sports agent—using charm, smarts and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself,” a synopsis of the series reads. 

Netflix is also working on a U.K. adaptation of “The Woods,” starring Tom Bateman (“The Love Hypothesis”) and Michelle Keegan.

All of Coben’s Netflix series are based on his books, with the exception of one—“Safe.” Released in 2018, the series took place in France and the United Kingdom and starred Michael C. Hall. Coben created the series, but it was written by screenwriters Danny Brocklehurst, Mick Ford, Alex Ganley and Karla Crome just for TV.
