Harlan Coben, a renowned crime writer, discusses his success, his partnership with Netflix, and his aspirations for a wider audience.
Harlan Coben , one of the world's most successful crime writers, admits that every writer wants better reviews and a bigger audience. The 62-year-old American author has published 37 books and sold over 80 million copies in 46 languages since his debut nearly 35 years ago. Coben enjoys his success, stating that it's thrilling to know so many people are watching his shows or reading his books.
His tales of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary situations have found a home on Netflix, with nine shows and counting. Last year's breakout hit, Fool Me Once, was Netflix's most-watched series of 2024. His next adaptation, I Will Find You, was greenlit earlier this year. This year's offering, Missing You, premiering on New Year's Day, is expected to be met with similar enthusiasm. The arrival of each series sees Coben's books shoot back up the charts. At the start of the year, he simultaneously held the number one and number two spots on the UK paperback bestseller list. Coben has worked with other streamers including Amazon, Apple, and MGM International, and made his first film in France with Canal+. However, he believes Netflix, with its over 280 million subscribers in over 290 countries, offers a truly global reach. His five-year TV deal with Netflix (extended by four years in 2022) seems like a sure step towards that 'bigger audience' he craves. While widely reported to be a 14-series deal, Coben clarifies that it's not, stating that he and Netflix agreed to make a lot of shows together
