Sam Worthington stars in Netflix’s new mystery ‘I Will Find You’
The new Harlan Coben series follows a father who escapes prison to uncover the truth about his missing son.
I’m a sucker for a great mystery, especially when it kicks off with one impossible clue that flips everything upside down. That’s exactly what “I Will Find You” promises. Based on a bestselling novel by Harlan Coben, this limited series stars Sam Worthington as a father serving life for a crime he didn’t commit: the murder of his own son. But then a photo turns up that changes everything. If there’s even a chance the boy is still alive, he’s going to find him. With a loaded cast, plenty of twists, and a story that’s all about hope, obsession, and buried secrets, here’s everything you need to know about “I Will Find You.”
Everything you need to know about ‘I Will Find You’
When will episodes of ‘I Will Find You’ come on Netflix?
There’s no official release date just yet, but “I Will Find You” is expected to hit Netflix sometime in 2026. The show is in production right now, and given the scale of the cast and story, it looks like this one’s going to be a major push for the platform. Since it’s a limited series with just eight episodes, it will likely drop all at once, but we’ll update once the release plan is confirmed.
Can you watch episodes of ‘I Will Find You’ for free?
No, you can’t watch for free because Netflix doesn’t offer a free trial. But it does have a few different price points if you’re signing up for the first time. Plans start at $8 per month with ads (that’s what I have), $18 per month for an ad-free experience, and $25 per month for the premium, ad-free plan with extra features and four simultaneous devices.

What is ‘I Will Find You’ about?
If you love a good mystery where nothing is what it seems, this one’s right up your alley. “I Will Find You” is a twisty, emotional thriller about David Burroughs, a father serving life in prison for the murder of his young son, a crime he didn’t commit. But when a photo surfaces that suggests his son may still be alive, David breaks out of prison to uncover the truth.
The series follows his desperate race to track down his son and expose the secrets that landed him behind bars in the first place. It’s packed with all the stuff that makes a great thriller tick: a ticking clock, buried family secrets, and a man with nothing left to lose. From wrongful conviction to full-blown fugitive, this one’s all about redemption, obsession, and what hope can drive someone to do.
Who stars in ‘I Will Find You’?
This cast is stacked. Sam Worthington leads the series as David, bringing that quiet intensity he’s known for. Britt Lower (who is seriously good in “Severance”) plays Rachel, David’s former sister-in-law, who becomes one of his only allies after discovering the photo that changes everything. Milo Ventimiglia plays Hayden, Rachel’s ex, who still has her back when it counts.
You’ve also got Erin Richards as David’s ex-wife, Cheryl, Logan Browning and Chi McBride as the FBI agents on his tail, and Jonathan Tucker as a police sergeant who’s still loyal to David. Madeleine Stowe and Clancy Brown round out the cast as two mysterious figures tied to the darker corners of the Burroughs family’s past.
Who created ‘I Will Find You’?
The series comes from Harlan Coben, who co-created it with Robert Hull (“Quantum Leap,” “Alcatraz”). If you’ve ever watched “The Stranger,” “Fool Me Once,” or “Stay Close” on Netflix, you’ve already seen Coben’s signature style in action. What makes this one stand out is that it’s the first of his Netflix series to take place in the United States instead of Europe.
Coben executive produces through his company, Final Twist, along with Hull and a team of producers with a solid track record in crime and thriller TV. With so many moving pieces and an emotional core driving the plot, this one’s built to hook you and keep you guessing the whole way through.
Is ‘I Will Find You’ based on a book?
Yep, it’s based on the Harlan Coben novel of the same name. The book was already a fan favorite and this new version promises to stay true to that while building out the characters and suspense even more. Coben’s known for stories that start with a simple question and spiral into something way bigger, and this one’s no different. If you haven’t read the novel, you’re probably better off waiting until after the show because there are plenty of twists, and going in fresh is half the fun.
