‘I Will Find You’ on Netflix: Harlan Coben’s Latest Mystery Comes With a Secret Name and Even Deeper Secrets

Published 07/30/2025, 11:47 PM EDT

Netflix has a certain talent for dressing suspense in glossy packaging, turning suburban backyards into crime scenes and PTA meetings into psychological warfare. With Harlan Coben, that talent transforms into a full-blown obsession. This is the streaming giant that makes you question your family, your neighbors, and your memory of Tuesday. And just when things feel safe, I Will Find You appears, armed with a codename, a jail break, and a photograph that should not exist.

While Netflix perfects the art of turning comfort into chaos, I Will Find You takes it personally, with secrets, suspense, and stylish dread. Here are all the twisted details.

I Will Find You pulled up with a codename, a chaos cast, and vibes of crime

Some codenames whisper; Quartz screams like a rejected Bond villain or a perfume that smells like secrets. But this is a Harlan Coben thriller, not a lifestyle brand. Filmed in Toronto (Netflix’s unofficial drama playground), I Will Find You stars Sam Worthington as David Burroughs, with Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Erin Richards, Logan Browning, Jonathan Tucker, and Chi McBride all cast as characters who look like they have emotionally blackmailed someone, possibly even themselves.

While Quartz sounds like a candle scent, the plot burns with something far smokier, namely, identity theft, wrongful charges, and the kind of dad energy that kicks down fences.

I Will Find You turns a dead son into the ultimate plot twist

David Burroughs is five years into a life sentence for killing his son. Plot twist? He just got handed a photo that suggests the kid is still alive. Cue the existential jailbreak. What begins as grief turns into action-movie chaos, riddled with cryptic leads and conspiracies that smell like old money and bad therapy. Harlan Coben does not write mysteries; he writes emotional traps, and this one snaps shut with a photo no parent should see... unless they plan to escape.

While David Burroughs is breaking out of prison, Netflix is busy breaking tradition, because nothing pairs better with a fresh calendar than unresolved trauma and one more emotionally unavailable family secret.

I Will Find You might arrive right when your resolutions start falling apart

No official date yet, but production wraps in mid-August. That points to a late 2025 release or, more likely, a January 1, 2026, premiere, because nothing screams New Year, new trauma like a wrongful conviction drama. Netflix did the same with Harlan Coben’s Missing You, which dropped on New Year’s and gave you every reason to binge instead of detox. Expect fog-heavy posters, cryptic taglines, and trust issues in 4K. Emotional damage is practically a promotional strategy at this point.
