Crime thriller king Harlan Coben is back with another 'excellent' Netflix drama. The brand-new eight-part series I Will Find You landed on Netflix on Thursday, 18th June, just five months after his other compelling drama Run Away debuted on the streaming platform.
Harlan Coben and Netflix first joined forces in 2018 with an ambitious plan to adapt 14 of the bestselling author's novels through his own production company, Final Twist Productions. His releases have since become a firm fixture in the Netflix TV calendar, with devoted fans eagerly counting down to each new series.
Following the arrival of I Will Find You, there are now 11 Coben adaptations available to stream on Netflix UK. Here is a complete rundown of every Harlan Coben Netflix drama, ranked by Rotten Tomatoes user scores.

The French-language production stars Finnegan Oldfield, Nicolas Duvauchelle and Guillaume Gouix.
