After 'I Will Find You', Netflix Will Make Series About Harlan Coben’s Biggest Character

Following the success of I Will Find You, starring Sam Worthington and Britt Lower, Netflix has announced a new adaptation of prolific author Harlan Coben. This time, the idea is to bring Myron Bolitar to the screen, the writer’s most famous protagonist, who appears in 12 of his books. The production will star Colin Woodell (The Continental), alongside KJ Apa (Riverdale) and Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black).

The story follows Myron Bolitar, a former college basketball star whose dream of playing in the NBA comes to an end after a serious injury. Years later, he reinvents himself as a sports agent and begins managing the careers of promising athletes. However, his routine changes when blackmail cases, murders, and other crimes start crossing his path, putting his life at risk as he tries to protect his clients.

The series will be led by David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies and Presumed Innocent) and Kyle Long, who serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers. Greg Yaitanes will direct some of the episodes, while Harlan Coben is also part of the executive production team.

No release date was announced.
