Those who have been following my coverage of the Harlan Coben adaptations coming out of the garbage chute of Netflix are probably aware of how much I hate the writer and the streaming platform. For those who don’t, here’s a primer: I hate Coben and everything of his that’s been commissioned by Netflix. I hate the readers who have made his books famous. I also hate the people who watch these serialized adaptations so that more of Coben’s nonsensical books can be turned into shows. The only people I do not hate are the cast and crew who are in charge of turning Coben’s trash into something digestible. I know that their hearts aren’t in it. It’s pretty apparent that they are doing it because there’s an audience for this, which Netflix is going to milk until their enthusiasm runs dry, and...

If you can read this, you can also check out the latest Harlan Coben adaptation on Netflix. The popular and prolific author's latest novel-turned-series, Caught, was released on the streaming behemoth today, Wednesday, March 26, 2025. And with its arrival, so too, comes some insight from Coben himself on his other projects currently in the works, Runaway and I Will Find You.

In new reporting from Variety, Coben let a few details slip about the forthcoming projects. Namely, that the Minnie Driver, James Nesbitt, and Ruth Jones-starring Runaway is already in production in England, and that the Sam Worthington-frontedI Will Find You will begin shooting even sooner than you think! Unfortunately, the update did not include any details on his Myron Bolitar television series with equally-as-prolific (and beloved!) television creator David E. Kelley.

Speaking with Variety, the author explained that:

"Production is also about to start in two to three...

A new Harlan Coben Netflix show is now available to stream, and of course, tons of people are watching it to see what thrilling twists and mysteries unfold. It's an Argentinian thriller series called Caught or Atrapados in Spanish, and it marks the first Latin American adaptation of Coben's work.

This show comes just a few weeks after the release of Just One Look, another Coben television series adaptation. It's based on Coben's bestselling 2010 crime thriller novel of the same name and stars Soledad Villamil as Ema Garay, a journalist who has made a name for herself in the digital media world for exposing and taking down criminals.

But she soon finds her world turned upside down when she crosses paths with Leo Mercer, a well-respected community figure, who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation into the disappearance of a young woman. As Ema delves deeper into the case,...

Revered journalist Ema Garay, known for unmasking criminals who’ve evaded the law, is thrown off course when she meets Leo Mercer, a respected man in the community who becomes her prime suspect when she sets out to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl. As she searches for the truth, Ema is forced to confront her own demons.

Harlan Coben’s first Latin American adaptation, the series Caught — based on the book of the same name — stars Soledad Villamil, Juan Minujín, and Alberto Ammann. Directed by Miguel Cohan (Blood Will Tell) and Hernán Goldfrid (The Bronze Garden), it’s the third adaptation of Coben’s books to premiere this year, along with Missing You and Just One Look. Previous Netflix shows based on Coben's books include Fool Me Once, Hold Tight, The Innocent, Stay Close, Gone for Good, The Stranger, The Woods, and Safe. His upcoming Netflix projects Run...

Us Harlan Coben fans have been spoiled this month as not one, but two, of the author's stories have come to life and been adapted into television series. They join the long roster of Harlan Coben shows on Netflix right now. Earlier in the month, Just One Look, set in Poland, came out. And now it's almost time for Argentina-based drama, Caught to debut. Exactly when can you start watching?

Harlan Coben's Caught premieres Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at 12 a.m. Pt on Netflix. There's a total of 6 episodes. Most of the author's works have been adapted into international titles, so you probably know by now that you can watch the upcoming show with either English subtitles or dubbed in English.

It's Spanish you'll hear if you go that route as the series is set in Argentina. And if you live there, then you'll be happy to know the streamer is available...

In an exclusive interview with Variety, bestselling author Harlan Coben sat down alongside director-showrunner Miguel Cohan (“No Return”) to drill down on the first Latin American Netflix adaptation of one of his multiple novels, “Caught,” (“Atrapados”).

Speaking on Zoom from Buenos Aires, Coben was full of praise for the work Cohan and his team had done on the mini-series adaptation for Netflix, set to debut worldwide on March 26. “What I love about this project is the idea of taking a novel by an American author and blending it with Argentine sensibilities – especially their incredible talent and unique settings,” he said.

He took a hands-off approach to the re-version, trusting them implicitly on their ability to adapt his work to an Argentine backdrop.

“I did not feel the need to interfere all that much but I did really want Soledad Villamil for the lead from day one,” he noted of the...

After a handful of weeks without only a few new shows released each week, we're in for one of the most jam-packed weeks of the year so far. Heading into the spring season, there are so many exciting and high-profile series debuts and multiple comebacks that fans have been waiting years for. You'll be laughing, crying, and on the edge of your seat all throughout the last week of March.

For the first time since late January, there is no new episode of Severance season 2, as the hit Apple TV+ thriller dropped its game-changing finale last week. But we do have a just-announced third season to look forward to in the future. This week also promises new episodes of The White Lotus season 3 (after That moment), Surface, and Hulu's new hit Good American Family.

As for the premieres hitting our watch list this week, the third Harlan Coben Netflix...

Harlan Coben's series on Netflix are addictive, puzzling, quirky, mysterious, thrilling, and full of twists and turns. Expect more of the same coming your way soon. A new series from Netflix’s favorite thriller writer is set to launch later this month.

Caught was Coben’s tenth novel when released in 2010. It’s one of 14 of his books being dramatized for Netflix under a long-term deal between the platform and Coben. This one is a roller coaster of a thriller which will have you gripped. It looks set to be a strong binge-watch show.

As a quick scene setting, the show was filmed in Argentina and is Coben’s first Latin America set adaptation. That just adds a neat extra flavour to the show helping make it stand out from the crowd. The author again took on an Executive Producer role so we can be very confident of this being another high-quality drama.

Harlan Coben shows on Netflix really are the gift that keeps on giving as the streaming service continues to churn out one series after the other. And we're so here for it! Earlier this month, French drama Just One Look, which adapted the author's 2004 novel of the same name. And now, it's almost time for another one - Caught. And the trailer has us excited to see it!

Caught premieres Wednesday, March 26, 2025 with all 6 episodes on Netflix. The book it's based on was published in 2010. Though the written story takes place in New Jersey, the Netflix adaptation has set the tale in Argentina. This isn't the first time the streamer has changed up the location and language of the writer's tales and made them into international titles instead. Before we get into more details on what you can expect, check out the trailer below:

As is usual with Coben's work,...

"It was a setup, Ema!" "I won't be manipulated by you anymore." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an Argentinian mystery thriller series titled Caught, arriving for streaming later this month. Yet another crime thriller to feed audiences & keep them hooked.

Her probe into a 16-year-old's disappearance in her town points to community member Leo Mercer – upending both their lives.

The series stars Soledad Villamil as Ema, Juan Minujín and Alberto Ammann, with a special appearance by Matías Recalt. Also starring Fernán Mirás and Mike Amigorena, and introducing Carmela Rivero. Netflix released an English dub...

The newly released trailer for Caught teases the latest Harlan Coben adaptation coming to Netflix. Filmed against the scenic backdrop of Patagonia, Argentina, the upcoming six-episode miniseries marks the first-ever Latin American adaptation of the bestselling work from the mystery and thriller novelist. Netflix’s ongoing collaboration with Coben has sparked a long line of successful TV adaptations, including Fool Me Once, Stay Close, and most recently Missing You, which topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 for English-language series upon its release earlier this year. Caught is set to premiere on March 26.

Now, Netflix has released the first official trailer for Caught, which follows investigative journalist Ema Garay, played by Soledad Villamil, as she builds her reputation by exposing criminals who evade justice. Her latest case takes a dark and unexpected turn when she meets Leo Mercer (Juan Minujín), a respected social worker who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation...

If you're a fan of the Harlan Coben Netflix shows, you don't have to wait long for the next one! After Missing You premiered on Netflix on Jan. 1, 2025, Netflix is rolling out the next of Coben's shows in March.

We've known for a while that Caught (also known as Atrapados) would be the next of Coben's shows coming to Netflix, thanks to updates from the mystery author himself. We just didn't know it would be in the same quarter as Missing You. Two Harlan Coben Netflix shows in one quarter? We aren't complaining!

Caught release date

Caught premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, March 26, according to Coben, who announced the release date on Twitter/X. That's where Coben shares a ton of updates about his projects, so give him a follow if you want to stay up to date.

In addition to the premiere date, Coben also shared the first teaser trailer of the new series.

Harlan Coben has become a key creator of Netflix shows, and it’s not going to stop anytime soon! Here’s a look at what other shows based on the author’s works are coming to the streamer.

Since 1990, Harlan Coben has become a bestselling author known for twisty crime thrillers and dramas that often involve exploring the secrets buried behind seemingly idyllic families and neighborhoods. That includes the Myron Bolitar series and scores of stand-alone novels.

Not surprisingly, there have been some adaptations of Coben’s works, such as Prime Video’s short-lived Shelter. However, in 2018, Coben signed a deal with Netflix which has since produced eight limited series based on his various novels. The latest, Missing You, debuted on January 1, 2025.

However, that’s far from the last project coming to the streamer. Here’s 6 Harlan Coben shows that are in the works and coming to Netflix (and actually...

Missing You is one of Netflix's most popular shows at the moment. With all five episodes of the mystery thriller dropping nearly a week ago, most viewers have already binge-watched them all. Now, they're left wondering if a new batch of episodes will be released soon in a Missing You season 2.

Unfortunately, this will not happen. Like all of Harlan Coben's previous Netflix shows, Missing You is a limited series. This means it was designed to be a self-contained series with a complete story told within a single season. While some may argue that the show ended in a way where more story could be told, that's just not going to happen. The mystery thriller pretty much ended the same way the Missing You book did.

However, don't feel sad! Harlan Coben has several new Netflix series in the works that'll fill the void. In fact, one of...

Netflix's newest Harlan Coben show, Missing You, will not be the streaming service's last adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel. In 2018, Harlan Coben signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix (via Deadline). The deal includes Netflix adapting 14 of Harlan Coben's books into TV shows. So far, Netflix has made eight Harlan Coben TV shows, with Harlan Coben as the executive producer. There are a few more of Coben's books that Netflix plans to adapt. Most recently, Netflix adapted Missing You, based on Harlan Coben's novel of the same name.

Netflix's Missing You has a diverse cast of characters and a thrilling plot with many twists and turns. Missing You's ending is a jaw-dropping finale that wraps up the show's storylines. Similarly to Netflix's other adaptations of Harlan Coben's books, Netflix made big changes in their adaptation of Missing You. While some of these changes improved the narrative, some were not great.

Netflix gave a sneak peek at its 2025 line-up of non-English programming yesterday with shows such as The Leopard (Italy), Last Samurai Standing (Japan), The Empress S2 (Germany), El Refugio Atómico (Spain), Senna (Brazil), Alice in Borderland S3 (Japan), and even this year’s One Hundred Years of Solitude (Colombia).

“People like the authenticity of local stories,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said.

“When you try to make something that appeals to everyone, you just end up making something that appeals to no one.” It’s why Bajaria encourages her teams to be ambitious and support the vision of creators with the “goal to make shows and films that resonate in their home country first.”

Netflix shouted out the stat that they dub in 36 languages and subtitle shows in 33 languages. Bajaria also said that 80% of Netflix subs watch Korean content.

Argentina’s Natalia Smirnoff and Alberto Lecchi and Money Heist’s Alejandro Bazzano are among the directors with projects selected for Iberseries & Platino Industria’s Co-production and Financing Forum, which is takeing place in Madrid from October 1-4.

The fourth edition of Iberseries & Platino Industria, an industry meeting point for the Spanish and Latin American cinema and TV sectors, will host more than 2,000 professionals from 50 countries this year.

The Coproduction and Financing Forum features 10 film and 11 TV series projects.

They include veteran Argentinian filmmaker Alberto Lecchi’s A Distant Place, with an attached cast that includes Ernesto Alterio and Soledad Villamil.

Chile’s Sebastián Freund of Rizoma Films and Argentine thesps Ernesto Alterio (“The Passenger”) and Soledad Villamil (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) have boarded the upcoming feature by Argentine filmmaker Alberto Lecchi, “A Distant Place” (“Un lugar lejano”).

Rizoma Films joins lead producer Twins Latin Films of Argentina and co-producers Filmakers Monkeys (Spain) in the drama that participates in the Iberseries & Platino Industria Co-Production Forum in Madrid.

Penned by Gerardo Pranteda, the story revolves around a pianist and a history teacher as they struggle for a second chance at love before a shattering illness impacts the musician’s grip on reality.

“We are excited to make a film that shows how love, memory, and bonds can offer comfort and hope even in the most difficult moments. It also addresses frontotemporal dementia, a condition rarely explored in cinema, providing an empathetic and sensitive perspective,” said Lorena Quevedo, CEO & producer at Twins Latin Films.

Close Your Eyes marks a stunning return to cinema for revered Spanish auteur Vctor Erice after a long three-decade absence. A brilliantly structured and deeply personal mystery is slowly unveiled like a master's paintbrush on a canvas of thoughtful artistic expression. Erice's elegantly crafted protagonist sorts through the pieces of his broken life to solve a puzzle that instigated his melancholic decline. Love, loss, and reconciliation are addressed on a profound journey of understanding. The two-hour and 50-minute runtime requires a degree of patience sometimes lost on modern audiences, but this story shouldn't be rushed.

“Goyo” is an Argentine film written and directed by Marcos Canevale. It stars Nicolás Furtado, Nancy Dupláa and Soledad Villamil.

“Goyo”, an Argentine film available for streaming on Netflix, is a touching romantic story that arrives straight at your heart.

Its simplicity and the bare honesty of characters are the movie’s standout features, making it a refreshingly straightforward portrayal of Asperger’s syndrome.

The movie’s plot revolves around Goyo, a young man with Asperger’s syndrome, who works as a guide in a museum in Argentina’s capital.

Director Billy Ray ("Shattered Glass") has had a remake of Argentina's Oscar winner thriller "The Secret in Their Eyes" in the works for a few years, set up and then languishing at Warner Bros., and now rejuvenated at Im Global, who's set to shop the film at the Cannes market. And they've got a tantalizing cast in place: Chiwetel Ejiofor and Gwyneth Paltrow. The remake pivots around a former Mi-5 agent (Ejiofor) who can't shake his obsession with an unsolved murder, even as he's hired by the FBI and heads to Boston. He eventually uncovers some unthinkable secrets that shed a whole new light on past events. No word on Paltrow's role, but she'd presumably fill the shoes of Soledad Villamil's character from the original, a higher-up who Ricardo Darin's character (here Ejiofor) is in love with. Ejiofor nabbed an Oscar nomination earlier this year for Best Picture...

★★☆☆☆ Viggo Mortensen rises to the challenge of playing twins in Argentinian director Ana Piterberg's debut feature Everybody Has a Plan (2012) - even if the drama never quite rises to meet his beguiling performance. It's not the actor's first role in Spanish, but it is his first in the country in which he lived as a child. The tale of a man appropriating his brother's identity, Everybody Has a Plan was also produced by the Danish-American actor who also took control of the subtitling to make sure that nuances were not lost in translation. Pedro (Mortensen) is a country-mouse slowly dying of cancer in a riverside community in the Tigre Delta.

Pedro finds himself willingly ensnared in the nefarious activities of pal and consummate lowlife Adrián (Daniel Fanego). Meanwhile, in the big city, refined town-mouse Agustín (also Mortensen) is a paediatrician suffering a mid-life crisis, whilst doing his best to estrange his wife.

The Comedian

(15) (Tom Shkolnik, 2012, UK) Edward Hogg, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett. 79 mins

There's an uncanny degree of naturalism to this downbeat sketch of a lost London soul, confused over his sexuality, his faltering stand-up career and his place in life. It was made with a Dogme-like set of rules encouraging spontaneous improvisation in real locales. The result is somewhere between Mike Leigh and mumblecore, a meandering slice of life that often hits the truth.

Byzantium

(15) (Neil Jordan, 2013, UK/Us/Ire) Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Riley. 118 mins

There might be little left to say about vampires, but genre veteran Jordan has a better right (and better actors) than most to say it. This tale of two 200-year-old women hiding out in a coastal town is more mature and less gory than most offerings.

Actors who can genuinely rise above subpar material are few and far between, and Viggo Mortensen is one of them. His soulful lead turn as a German scholar-turned-Nazi sympathizer elevated an otherwise shaky stage adaptation in 2008's Good, and his tongue-in-cheek take on Freud was one of the few redeeming features of David Cronenberg's stilted and misjudged A Dangerous Method.

In Everybody Has a Plan, the feature debut from Argentinian director Ana Piterbarg, we're gifted with not one but two Mortensen performances. This, surely, should be a done deal. So why is the end result - with its enticing blend of character study, crime drama and potboiler plotting - such a joyless chore?

Admittedly, the premise is enough to make you nervous. Frustrated Buenos Aires paediatrician...

Also known as Todos tenemos un plan, Everybody Has a Plan includes Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofia Gala and Oscar Alegre.

Title: Everybody Has a Plan Director: Ana Piterbarg Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Soledad Villamil, Daniel Fanego, Javier Godino, Sofia Gala Castaglione A good number of actresses, including Penelope Cruz, have worked for years in multiple languages. And while it seems a bit less common with actors, recent James Bond villain Javier Bardem scored a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 2010′s “Biutiful” while speaking in his native tongue. But apart from Kristin Scott Thomas – and recently Will Ferrell, who took up Spanish for the comedy “Casa de Mi Padre” — few native English speakers aim to flex their bilingual skills on the big screen.

Best Laid Plans: Piterbarg Gets Double the Mortensen in Debut

Argentinean director Ana Piterbarg nabs Viggo Mortensen for dual roles in her debut, a slow burn identity thriller, Everybody Has a Plan. Mortensen, having appeared in three previous Spanish speaking features, is a fellow countryman of Piterbarg, having spent his childhood in Argentina. The resulting collaboration may be disappointing to some, as this is a simmering, psychological thriller that banks mostly on constant discomfort and a slowly building menace that permeates the narrative, but this only serves to make the film a unique, fascinating, noir-tinged exercise in the swamps.

Agustin (Mortensen) stars as a doctor in Buenos Aires, who we quickly learn is in a floundering marriage with Claudia (Soledad Villamil). They are about to adopt a baby, something that Claudia is apparently passionate about, a plan that has been gestating for some time. But it turns out that...
