What Happened
Netflix is developing a new series based on Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar novels. David E. Kelley will write and executive produce the series alongside Harlan Coben. The Myron Bolitar series consists of 12 novels, beginning with the 1995 football-themed thriller 'Deal Breaker' and concluding with the 2024 book 'Think Twice'. The novels center on a fictional sports agent named Myron Bolitar. This development is part of a renewed partnership between Netflix and Coben, which began in 2017 and was expanded in 2022 to include 12 more Coben titles, including the Bolitar series.
Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy Harlan Coben's existing Netflix adaptations like 'Fool Me Once' or 'Stay Close', you may soon have another series to watch. David E. Kelley's involvement could bring a distinct style to the project, potentially blending the character-driven drama of his previous work with Coben's thriller plots. The adaptation of a long-running, 12-book series suggests Netflix is committing to a substantial project, which could provide a reliable source of entertainment if it proves successful.
What's Next
The series is in development, meaning scripts are likely being written and the production team is being assembled. Given Netflix's established partnership with Coben and the track record of his previous adaptations, the project appears likely to move forward toward production. The series could potentially draw from the extensive source material of the 12 novels.
