If you've already raced through Netflix's latest thriller, I Will Find You, and are wondering what to watch next, the good news is there's plenty more where that came from.
The latest adaptation of Harlan Coben's bestselling novel has once again propelled the American author to the top of Netflix's charts. I Will Find You hit No 1 globally for English-language shows, with more than 34 million views for the week ending June 28.
It continues an extraordinary run that has turned Coben's twist-filled mysteries into one of the world's most successful screen franchises. Coben has sold more than 75 million books worldwide, building a reputation for page-turning stories packed with disappearances, family secrets, false identities and shocking final twists. Those ingredients have translated remarkably well to television and film, even as many other bestselling authors have struggled to make the jump from page to screen.
Much of that success stems from Netflix's landmark 2018 deal to adapt 14 of Coben's novels into series and films. Since then, viewers around the world have binged everything from The Stranger and Stay Close to Fool Me Once, Missing You and now I Will Find You.
Not every screen adaptation has been produced by Netflix, nor is every project based on one of Coben's novels. Alongside adaptations of his books, he has also created original series directly for broadcasters and streamers, including The Five, Safe and Lazarus. His stories have also been adapted by filmmakers and television producers in France, Spain, Poland, Argentina and beyond.
Here's every Harlan Coben story adapted for film and television.
