I Will Find You Cast: Where You’ve Seen The Netflix Stars Before

Published

on

Harlan Coben returns to Netflix with another mystery, I Will Find You.

Adapted from the 2023 novel of the same name, the drama centres around a father imprisoned for murdering his young son.

While serving his sentence, he receives information that indicates – in true Harlan Coben fashion – that his son may still be alive.

I Will Find You has been called “maddeningly watchable” by critics despite its “ludicrous” plot twists and red herrings – yet we can’t stop watching it.

Netflix’s previous Harlan Coben adaptations, including Missing You, Run Away and Fool Me Once, have become known for their cast of famous faces – and this new show is no different.

I Will Find You marks his first American-set show, and with that comes an all-new international cast of film stars and character actors you’re sure to recognise.

Here is where you may have seen the cast of I Will Find You before…
