Netflix Orders Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You as First US-Based Series

Here is the rewritten article:

Netflix is teaming up once again with acclaimed author Harlan Coben, following a long-standing partnership that has produced several international hits. The latest collaboration is a limited series based on Coben’s pulse-pounding novel “I Will Find You”, marking the first US-based series to be adapted from one of his books.

The series, set to captivate audiences with its trademark twists and turns, dramatic cliffhangers, and compelling mysteries, is the result of an overall deal signed between Netflix and Coben in 2018. Robert Hull, known for his work on “God Friended Me” and “Quantum Leap”, will co-create the series with Coben and serve as showrunner, bringing his expertise in crafting intricate storylines to the table.

Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s vp scripted series for the U.S. and Canada, praised Coben’s talent, saying “Harlan’s gripping stories are beloved around the world, consistently captivating fans with their unique blend of suspense and intrigue. We’re thrilled to bring his first US scripted series to life, and we’re confident that he and Robby will deliver the same thrilling experience that audiences have come to expect from his work.”

Hull expressed his excitement about the project, stating “As a long-time fan of Harlan’s novels, I’m honored to have the opportunity to bring this story to life with him, alongside Jinny, Peter, and the exceptional team at Netflix – it’s truly a dream come true. With Coben’s masterful storytelling and our team’s passion, we’re committed to delivering an unforgettable viewing experience.”

The eight-episode series will follow the haunting story of an innocent father serving a life sentence for the murder of his own son, who receives shocking evidence that his child may still be alive, prompting him to embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth and clear his name. With its intricate plot and emotional depth, “I Will Find You” is poised to become a must-watch event on Netflix.

This latest adaptation is part of Netflix’s ongoing efforts to bring Coben’s works to life across different languages and regions. With a proven track record of success, including this year’s hit “Fool Me Once” and the upcoming “Missing You”, premiering on January 1, the streaming giant has adapted several of Coben’s novels, including “Stay Close”, “The Stranger” (produced in the UK), “The Innocent” (Spain), “Gone for Good” (France), “Hold Tight”, and “The Woods” (Poland). Projects based on “Caught” and “Run Away” are also in development.

The production team behind “I Will Find You” is comprised of a talented group of executive producers, including Hull, Coben (via his production company Final Twist Productions), Bryan Wynbrandt, Steven Lilien, and John Weber, all of whom are committed to bringing this gripping story to life with the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
