IN Myron Bolitar, after an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar reinvents himself as a sports agent — using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself.

The long-standing creative partnership between Netflix and Harlan Coben dates back to 2018, successfully adapting more than 13 of his books for the screen, including: Fool Me Once, Run Away, Safe, The Woods, The Innocent, Gone for Good, Stay Close, Hold Tight, The Stranger, Missing You, Just One Look, Caught, and I Will Find You.

Coben’s most recent adaptation, I Will Find You, is Netflix’s biggest original scripted debut of 2026. The series hit #1 for four consecutive weeks on the English TV list and #1 in 80 countries—and has earned 94.4 million total views so far.

Since the debut of the Netflix Top 10 in 2021, Harlan Coben shows on Netflix have made Netflix’s weekly Global Top 10 list 33 times and reached the Top 10 in 92 countries. From 2023-2025, Harlan Coben shows have received over 300 million global views.

The Myron Bolitar series marks the latest collaboration between David E. Kelley and Netflix, following Anatomy of a Scandal, A Man in Full, and the hit adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer, with Season 5 currently in production in Los Angeles.
