Based on Coben’s 2023 novel, I Will Find You follows David Burroughs, a father serving a life sentence for murdering his son. His life changes when evidence suggests that the boy may actually be alive, forcing David to escape prison and uncover the truth.
Sam Worthington leads the cast as David, alongside Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, Erin Richards and Chi McBride. In an interview with Netflix, Coben explained the story’s emotional direction, saying, “This story starts in a very dark place,” but he wanted to create a story with “light,” “hope” and “optimism.”
The series has succeeded despite receiving a more divided response from critics. Its popularity has nevertheless continued to grow, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Coben’s fast-paced mystery storytelling.
Netflix also confirmed that I Will Find You is the first series from its long-running partnership with Coben to be set in the United States. With more than 100 million views and a place among Netflix’s all-time biggest English-language series, the show has become another major milestone for the bestselling author’s successful relationship with the streamer.
