If you're searching for a Harlan Coben show to watch on Netflix, consider that case closed, as the prolific author and TV producer has a slew of titles available on the platform.
Coben's catalog spans streamers like Netflix and Prime Video, with the author inking a deal with the former in 2018, which was renewed in 2022. The streamer makes it easy for Coben's fans to find his titles, offering The Harlan Coben Collection to simplify the search for any of his 13 titles on Netflix, including his latest project, I Will Find You, an adaptation of his 2023 novel of the same name. The series boasts a star-studded cast, including Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, and Chi McBride. According to DECIDER contributor Joel Keller, Worthington delivers a "riveting performance."
Another starry Coben adaptation was released on New Year's Day, headlined by James Nesbitt and Minnie Driver. The series, Run Away, follows the parents of a girl whose eldest daughter Paige has run away. DECIDER contributor Joel Keller praised the series in his review for being "another solid Coben thriller with good performances, a little bit of humor and lots of twists." This Polish series adaptation follows a "happily married jewelry designer" Greta Rembiewska, who after discovering an old picture that changes everything for her. DECIDER contributor Joel Keller writes that "like most Harlan Coben thrillers on Netflix, Just One Look has enough twists and turns to keep viewers on the hook, especially given the fact that the total running time of the series is probably around four hours."
The mystery and thriller author has also seen his other titles come to life on Netflix. One such example is the series adaptation of Coben's 2014 novel, No Second Chance. The series adapts Coben's novel, in which Detective Kat Donovan's fiancé mysteriously vanishes without a trace. 11 years later, he reappears, prompting new questions for Kat. DECIDER contributor Joel Keller described this series as a "pulse-pounding" thriller. Another series, Fool Me Once, adapts Coben's 2016 novel of the same name, in which Maya Stern grieves the loss of her husband, only to spot him on footage from the nanny cam installed in her home… but is she seeing things? DECIDER contributor Joel Keller recommended Fool Me Once, explaining that the series "has enough potential for some intriguing plot twists, and more than enough solid performances, to make up for some awkward dialogue and plot points that feel like they're going to unnecessarily complicate things."
Harlan Coben's 2012 novel, Stay Close, has also been adapted into a series starring Cush Jumbo. DECIDER contributor Joel Keller writes in his review that the series "benefits from fine performances and a story that gives just enough clues in the first episode to keep viewers intrigued and — more importantly — not frustrated with purposely obtuse writing." With so many of his titles available on Netflix, it's clear that Harlan Coben is a force to be reckoned with in the world of mystery and thriller television.
