Flying largely under the radar, Harlan Coben has become Netflix’s secret weapon. While not as flashy as some of Netflix’s marquee franchises as Bridgerton or Stranger Things, the adaptations of his bestselling thrillers have become a cottage industry,

By the end of the series it became clear that Rachel (Britt Lower)'s ex-boyfriend Hayden (Milo Ventimiglia) had been the one to kidnap David (Sam Worthington) and Cheryl (Erin Richards)'s son Matthew when he was just three years old. But, er, why exactly?

One of the larger success stories of the past few months on Netflix has been I Will Find You, the service’s latest Harlan Coben novel adaptation. It has performed better than some we’ve seen in the past, though it’s not quite setting any records. I Will Find You has held onto the #1 spot for a while, but it has just been dethroned by a new series.

Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You has ruled Netflix for four consecutive weeks, extending the eight-part thriller’s impressive month-long run at No. 1.

When Netflix released its semi-annual data dump for the first half of 2026, the No. 3 spot on the most-watched TV list went to Harlan Coben's "I Will Find You," a series that debuted only 13 days before the report's cutoff date.

Netflix's biggest new show has turned out to be Harlan Coben's I Will Find You, despite steep competition from His and Hers earlier in the year.
