Netflix Debuts 13th Harlan Coben Adaptation in 14-Book Deal as Review Calls It Watchable Nonsense

Summary
Eight episodes of "I Will Find You" mark Netflix’s 13th adaptation of Harlan Coben under a 14-book deal, leaving one novel still to be produced.
Set in the US rather than Europe, the series follows Sam Worthington’s David Burroughs, a Maine inmate convicted of killing his son who escapes after a photo suggests the boy may still be alive.
Britt Lower co-stars as disgraced journalist Rachel Mills, joining Burroughs in a fugitive chase that expands into a global conspiracy involving prison officials and a charity boss.
The review dismisses the script as implausible and formulaic but says the show remains compulsively watchable, echoing the broader pattern of Netflix’s Coben adaptations.
That run may not end with the final Netflix title, as Coben also has an ongoing deal with Amazon that could extend the stream of screen thrillers.
