Family secrets, shocking revelations, and a commitment to uncovering the truth are all key components of a good mystery. Harlan Coben is known for exploring these themes in his thrilling books and shows — and delivering jaw-dropping reveals in the process.

Along with showrunner and co-creator Robert Hull (Quantum LeapAlcatraz), the bestselling author is bringing his novel I Will Find You to Netflix on June 18. Starring Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, and Milo Ventimiglia, I Will Find You is an odyssey you won’t want to miss.

The eight-episode series, adapted by Hull from Coben’s 2023 novel of the same name, follows Worthington as David Burroughs, who’s wrongfully serving a life sentence for murdering his son. But when he receives word that his son may actually be alive, David  embarks on a truth-finding mission that leads him out of prison and into a world of deceit and despair.

What is I Will Find You about?

An innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive — and he must break out of prison to uncover the truth. 

Co-creator Coben will serve as executive producer of I Will Find You through his company, Final Twist Productions, alongside Hull, Bryan Wynbrandt (Quantum Leap), Steven Lilien (Quantum Leap), and John Weber.

Who’s in the cast of I Will Find You?

The cast of I Will Find You includes:

  • Sam Worthington (Avatar, Lift) as David Burroughs, a father serving a life sentence for the murder of his own son — a crime he didn’t commit, yet a tragedy he punishes himself for every day.
  • Britt Lower (Severance, Man Seeking Woman) as Rachel Mills, David’s ex-sister-in-law and a former decorated reporter whose life fell apart after she was fired. When she discovers evidence suggesting an incredible secret, Rachel views it as a once-in-a-lifetime story that could be her ticket back to journalism.
  • Milo Ventimiglia (This Is Us, Gilmore Girls) as Hayden, Rachel’s ex-boyfriend, who remains her close friend and confidant. He is from a prominent Boston family and finds purpose in working for his family’s philanthropic foundations.
  • Logan Browning (Dear White People, The Perfection) as Sarah Greer, a member of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force in Boston alongside legendary agent Max Williams. Together they have become a valuable duo for the bureau, catching some of the country’s most notorious fugitives — until the Burroughs case threatens to upend everything they’ve worked for. 
  • Erin Richards (The Crown, Gotham) as Cheryl Dreason, David’s ex-wife and a talented and compassionate pediatric surgeon. Cheryl still grieves the loss of her son, but has worked hard to rebuild her life. When her ex-husband, David, breaks out of prison, long-buried secrets threaten to unravel everything she’s built. 
  • Jonathan Tucker (Westworld, The Virgin Suicides) as police Sgt. Adam Mackenzie. As David’s best friend, he’s willing to risk everything to help him escape prison.
  • Chi McBride (Pushing Daisies, Hawaii Five-0) as Max Williams. Max is a legend in the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force, who will doggedly pursue David no matter how much it rips his personal life apart. 
  • Madeleine Stowe (Soundtrack, 12 Monkeys) as Gertrude Payne, a wealthy heiress who is harboring a dark secret.
  • Clancy Brown (The Penguin, Dumb Money) as Nicky Fisher, a semi-retired, old-school mobster who has a startling personal connection to the Burroughs family that threatens to expose long-buried secrets.

“The cast we’ve assembled is nothing short of phenomenal,” Hull tells Tudum. “Any one of these incredible artists would be a dream on their own. The fact we’ve somehow drawn them all in is a testament to the power of Harlan’s storytelling and the incredible support of everyone at Netflix. I cannot wait to watch them bring these roles to life.”

“Netflix has been an amazing creative partner all over the globe — and now we get to come home and do it here in the United States,” Coben tells Tudum. “We have a dream team of talent.”
