Netflix sets I Will Find You June 18

Netflix released a full trailer on June 1 for “I Will Find You,” the streamer’s next Harlan Coben adaptation, and confirmed that the eight-episode limited series will debut on June 18. Sam Worthington leads the cast as David Burroughs, a father serving a life sentence for the murder of his son before new evidence suggests the boy may still be alive. Britt Lower and Milo Ventimiglia also star, according to Netflix’s Tudum site. Deadline and Collider both reported the trailer rollout on Monday as Netflix stepped up promotion ahead of the launch. ### What exactly did Netflix announce this week? June 1 was the date Netflix used to push the latest trailer for “I Will Find You,” with Deadline describing it as the full trailer and Collider calling it the final trailer. Both outlets said the series will premiere on June 18, and Tudum had already listed that date in a May 27 preview for the show. (netflix.com) Netflix’s Tudum page said the series is based on Coben’s 2023 novel of the same name and was adapted for television by Robert Hull, who is also credited as creator and showrunner. Tudum said all eight episodes are part of the release. ### Who is at the center of the story? Sam Worthington plays David Burroughs, whom Tudum describes as a man wrongfully serving a life sentence for killing his son. (netflix.com) The central plot turns when David receives evidence that his child may still be alive and leaves prison to find out what happened. Britt Lower plays Rachel Mills, identified by Tudum as David’s ex-sister-in-law and a former reporter who sees the case as a chance to return to journalism. (netflix.com) Milo Ventimiglia plays Hayden, Rachel’s ex-boyfriend and confidant, Tudum said. ### What does the trailer show? Deadline said the new trailer shows Worthington’s character escaping from prison and going on the run in search of his son. (netflix.com) The outlet highlighted one line from the trailer — “Don’t ask questions that you don’t want the answers to” — as the chase unfolds. Collider said the new footage was released after Netflix had already shared first-look images and an earlier teaser in recent weeks. Tudum’s earlier preview had framed the series as a mystery built around family secrets, false conviction and a search for the truth. ### Who else is in the cast and creative team? (deadline.com) Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, Erin Richards, Chi McBride and Jonathan Tucker are among the principal cast members listed by Deadline and Tudum. Deadline also listed guest stars including Clancy Brown and Madeleine Stowe. Robert Hull is the creator, writer, showrunner and an executive producer, Deadline said. (netflix.com) Tudum said Coben is also an executive producer through Final Twist Productions, alongside Bryan Wynbrandt, Steven Lilien and John Weber. ### Where does this fit in Netflix’s Harlan Coben pipeline? Harlan Coben remains a regular source of Netflix thriller adaptations, and Tudum presented “I Will Find You” as the latest collaboration between the author and the streamer. (netflix.com) Collider said Coben had another 2026 project, “Run Away,” on Netflix earlier this year, though the current announcement centers on “I Will Find You.” June 18 is the next concrete milestone for the rollout. Tudum said that is when all eight episodes of “I Will Find You” will be available on Netflix, with Worthington, Lower and Ventimiglia heading the cast. (netflix.com)
