\n\tFlying largely under the radar, Harlan Coben has become Netflix<\/a>\u2018s secret weapon. While not as flashy as some of Netflix\u2019s marquee franchises as Bridgerton or Stranger Things, the adaptations of his bestselling thrillers have become a cottage industry, delivering high volume and solid return on investment. <\/p>\n

\n\tThen there are big breakouts, such as Fool Me Once and, most recently, I Will Find You<\/a> starring Sam Worthington, Netflix\u2019s first American\u00a0Harlan Coben<\/a>\u00a0adaptation. Extending its streak at the top of Netflix\u2019s weekly Top 10 English series rankings to five consecutive weeks \u2014 the first series to do it since Wednesday Season 2 \u2014 I Will Find You collected 7.3 million views during the week of July 20 to become Netflix\u2019s biggest original scripted debut of 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith that, the tally for the limited series, which has hit #1 in 81 countries, has gone up to 101.9 million total views to date to make Netflix\u2019s Most Popular English Series list, bumping fellow 2026 thriller limited series His & Hers (98.2M) from the No.10 spot. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd with I Will Find You just over a third into the qualifying 91-day viewership window for the list, the series is well positioned to climb further up by several slots.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder Netflix\u2019s partnership with the prolific author, the streamer has released 13 series adaptations of Coben novels to date across multiple countries, with more underway \u2014 including a show based on the Myron Bolitar books headlined by Colin Woodell. I Will Find You became the second series to make Netflix\u2019s Most Popular List after the 2024 Fool Me Once held the No. 10 spot for awhile with 98M views over 91 days.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHarlan is brilliant, he really understands his audience, we\u2019ve had so much success, and\u00a0I Will Find You\u00a0is very much tracking to be up there,\u201d Netflix\u2019s Head of UCAN Scripted Series\u00a0Jinny Howe\u00a0told Deadline earlier this month <\/a>when the series was on its way to crack the Most Popular list. \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of its performance, it continues to be successful and watched around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSince the debut of the Netflix Top 10 in 2021, Harlan Coben shows have made Netflix\u2019s weekly Global Top 10 list 41 times and reached the Top 10 in 93 countries. Since 2023, series based on his books have received over 450M global views on Netflix. <\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix originally signed an overall deal with Coben in 2018. It has since been extended and expanded to include the Myron Bolitar novels, which are being adapted by David E. Kelley.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re just focused on looking for the best stories; he\u2019s got a trove of characters, and he really, really understands how to be a great partner with us and bring those stories to fans around the world,\u201d Howe said earlier this month. \u201cSo this has been very, very successful for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flying largely under the radar, Harlan Coben has become Netflix\u2018s secret weapon.
