Netflix surprises us with a new Harlan Coben crime thriller, not for the faint of heart. Based on Coben's 2010 novel, Catch, this captivating story centers on a missing teenager and a journalist who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. And, beware, it's a chilling adventure.
Packed with all of Coben's signature twists and turns, the series marks a milestone for the author, as it's his first Latin American adaptation and was filmed in Argentine Patagonia. The chilling trailer reveals a predator on the loose in the streets of the Argentine city of Bariloche. But what he doesn't know is that investigative journalist Ema Garay (Villamil) is on a mission to find him.
Stars: Tonglan Qiu, Soledad Villamil, Juan Minujín
This new six-part series is the first Latin American adaptation of Harlan Coben's work and is filmed against the backdrop of Argentine Patagonia (the scenery alone is breathtaking!). Based on Coben's 2010 best-selling novel, Trapped, this thriller centers on journalist Ema Garay (Soledad Villamil), who has made a name for herself in the industry by exposing criminals, specifically sexual predators, who manage to evade the law and bring them to justice.
However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Leo Mercer (Juan Minujín), a respected figure in the community who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation into the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl. In her search for the truth, Ema's investigation unravels a web of interconnected mysteries and suspects. The question is: can she trust her own instincts or the motivations of those around her? And is it worth risking everything to find this predator?
If you haven't read the book, you won't find any spoilers, but we assure you that, in true Coben fashion, it's a fantastically twisty and extremely exciting story. And, since Coben is an executive producer (as he is on all of his television adaptations), we have no doubt that the Netflix version will be just as brilliant.
We're excited to announce that an adaptation of Coben's 2019 novel, Run Away, is in the works. The series, which follows a father trying to find his daughter, whom he lost to drugs and an abusive man, will star James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, and Minnie Driver. Netflix has yet to announce an official premiere date, but we expect it to premiere in early 2026.
