Netflix is set to premiere the new crime drama miniseries I Will Find You on June 18, 2026. The eight-episode production features Sam Worthington in the lead role of David Burroughs, a father who, after spending five years in prison for the murder of his son, discovers evidence that his child may still be alive. The series is based on the 2023 novel of the same name by author Harlan Coben.
The narrative follows Burroughs as he makes the decision to break out of prison to uncover the truth about his son, Matthew. The official synopsis describes the central conflict as an “innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive—and must break out of prison to find out the truth.”
Production and Creative Team
The series was filmed in Toronto, Canada, with production running from April 21, 2025, to August 19, 2025.

Peter Friedlander, the vice president of scripted series at Netflix in the U.S. and Canada, has positioned the show as a significant addition to the platform’s mystery offerings.
