The eight-episode thriller is expected to premiere later this year, so read up to find out everything we know about Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You so far.

When will I Will Find You premiere?

The series is expected to drop in full sometime in 2026 on Netflix.

What is I Will Find You about?

The series’ official description reads, “An innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive — and must break out of prison to find out the truth.”

The series adapts the 2023 Coben novel of the same name. The description for that tells us, “David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love—until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall. Half a decade later, David’s been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison—a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn’t have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl’s younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph. It’s a vacation shot of a bustling amusement park a friend shared with her, and in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David’s son. Even though it can’t be, David just knows: Matthew is still alive. David plans a harrowing escape, determined to achieve the impossible–save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened. But with his life on the line and the FBI following his every move, can David evade capture long enough to reveal the shocking truth?”
