Netflix‘s long-running partnership with author Harlan Coben has produced a number of hits, most recently I Will Find You. The thriller starring Sam Worthington and Britt Lower entered the streamer’s all-time top 10 for English-language series this week.
I Will Find You, Fool Me Once, Run Away and all the other adaptations of Coben’s books at Netflix so far have been limited series. Netflix and Coben have yet to produce an ongoing show based on his books.
That’s about to change. Netflix began production on Myron Bolitar this week in New York (The Hollywood Reporter spotted a crew filming on Manhattan’s Upper East Side). The show is based on Coben’s long-running series of novels about a former basketball star-turned-sports agent (played by Colin Woodell) who goes the extra mile for his clients — including getting involved in solving mysteries on their behalf.
“It’s been really heady and really interesting” to see the show come together, Coben told THR. “The other series that I’ve done are all designed to be limited series — and I don’t want season twos out of them, even if sometimes we think about them. My rule on that is that unless we can come up with a better story, I don’t see a season two. With I Will Find You, what, would we have another kid go missing? … The Myron Bolitar series is created, like the books themselves, that we can run more than one season if we’re so blessed.”
