Production Description
Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You with Sam Worthington Filming in Toronto This Spring/Summer
Netflix’s first U.S.-based Harlan Coben thriller, I Will Find You, stars Sam Worthington as a wrongly convicted father who breaks out of prison to find the truth. Filming is underway in Toronto from April 22, 2025, to August 19, 2025.
The story follows an innocent man serving a life sentence for the murder of his own son. When he receives proof that his son might still be alive, he’s determined to escape and uncover the truth at any cost.
This marks a significant shift in Netflix’s Coben adaptations, which until now have relocated stories to the UK, France, Poland, or Spain. Notably, Fool Me Once became a global phenomenon and is currently ranked #8 on Netflix’s Top 10 Most Popular Shows worldwide.
