Harlan Coben's new Netflix show I Will Find You premiered last week, and it's already set a big record. The series has garnered the biggest first week view count for any new show on the streaming service in 2026 so far.
Netflix stats for the week of 15 June to 21 June show that Coben's latest thriller had 24 million views worldwide. With an overall runtime of five hours 29 minutes, that means people streamed the show for a total of 131.7 million hours.
Since the show only released on 18 June, it managed that impressive feat in just four days.

Overall, it's the fifth-biggest week that any show has had on Netflix in 2026 so far.
Bridgerton season 4 part 1 tops the list with 39.7 million views, followed by the Stranger Things finale's 31.3 million views.

Third place is interesting, as it belongs to another new show for 2026: His & Hers. It managed 19.9 million views in its first week, which is why I Will Find You has the record it has. However, the second week of His & Hers' run saw it do 29.5 million views, likely buoyed by word-of-mouth.
In fourth place, it's Bridgerton season 4 part 2 with 28 million views.

What's on Netflix compared I Will Find You's debut to the first weeks of other Coben shows on the service, and while you might think that it might be the biggest due to the fact that it's the first one set in America, it is actually isn't.
Fool Me Once actually has the biggest first week for any Coben show on Netflix, premiering on 1 January 2024 and amassing 37.1 million views in its first week.
2025's Missing You and 2026's Run Away also premiered on New Year's Day, but did lower in their first weeks, at 21.7 million and 12.7 million, respectively.
1 January fell later in the week in those years compared to 2024, where it was a Monday, so there's less days to count towards the stats, but Run Away also had to compete with the Stranger Things finale.
Given how well I Will Find You has done though, it seems that people certainly aren't bored of Coben's shows just yet.
I Will Find You is available to stream on Netflix now.
