I Will Find You is a new Harlan Coben adaptation for Netflix, which follows the story of an innocent father who is serving life for the murder of his own son when he receives evidence that his child may still be alive.
The eight-episode series will be the first U.S. adaptation of a book by Harlan Coben under his exclusive deal with Netflix, despite the fact most of his novels are set in the US, but then relocated for the TV shows.
The series follows in the footsteps of hugely successful Harlan Coben shows like Fool Me Once, Safe, Missing You, Stay Close, Shelter, Caught and the much-anticipated Run Away, which is the next UK-based adaptation to land on the streaming site.

I Will Find You plot
Harlan Coben is known for delivering jaw-dropping twists and turns in his stories, and I Will Find You is no exception. The series follows David Burroughs, who is sent to jail for a crime he didn’t commit, yet a tragedy he punishes himself for every day.
The book synopsis for I Will Find You, which the TV series is thought to closely follow, reads: 'David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three-year-old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely.
'Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive.
'David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.'
