As anticipation builds for Netflix’s adaptation of Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You, star Britt Lower is offering new insight into both the thriller and her character. Best known for her acclaimed performance in the TV show Severance, Lower takes on a very different role in the upcoming mystery. During a recent appearance with Jordan Klepper, Lower opened up about her upcoming Netflix thriller, and described journalism and acting as spiritual cousins. 

For Lower, stepping into the shoes of a journalist offered more than a new role as it sparked a reflection on the art of storytelling itself. 

Britt Lower recently talked about her upcoming Netflix thriller, I Will Find You, on The Daily Show. In the film, she plays a journalist who teams up with a fugitive to find his missing son. Reflecting on the role, the Severance star explained why she thinks journalism and acting are similar professions.  

“I do feel like journalism and acting they're sort of spiritual cousins. There's a shared DNA, right? Your job and our job is to really deeply listen and to find the humanity in people's stories,” Lower said during the interview, which was uploaded on YouTube.  

While discussing the same on The Daily Show, Lower also explained her approach to the character and the qualities that attracted her to the role. She further revealed that her character was a hands-on reporter. Therefore, she worked closely with the prop department to develop an authentic persona, including a camera, recorder, and notebook. The actress also joked that she observed host Jordan Klepper a lot to prepare for the role.

Apart from her comments on storytelling, Lower's role on I Will Find You has come to the limelight. 

I Will Find You is the story of a fugitive on a mission to find out what happened to his son. The search intensifies, and he teams up with a reporter whose instincts for investigation help move the case along. In their quest for answers, they find themselves caught up in a web of secrets, danger, and surprises. 

Britt Lower plays the journalist who becomes part of the search for a missing boy, working with Sam Worthington, who is the fugitive. The character serves as a key investigative force in the story, helping uncover clues as the search for the missing boy grows increasingly complex. Lower said her character is an “old soul” who is practical in her approach to reporting. 

In I Will Find You, Lower not only takes on the role of a driven journalist but also emphasizes the qualities she believes connect journalism and acting. Her comments highlight how both jobs require curiosity, empathy, and a strong desire to get to know the people at the center of every story. All this while the thriller is about a search for truth in the middle of mystery and danger.
