Four years of waiting. Countless Harlan Coben adaptations have come and gone on Netflix — *Fool Me Once*, *Missing You*, *Run Away* — but the one fans have always wanted most has been quietly sitting in development. That changes now. *Myron Bolitar* is officially moving into production, and the creative team assembled for it is genuinely formidable.

## Who Is Myron Bolitar?

*Myron Bolitar* follows the titular character who, after an injury ends his NBA dreams, reinvents himself as a sports agent — using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself.

The first book, *Deal Breaker*, was published in 1995, with the most recent release, *Think Twice*, marking the twelfth novel in 2024. It is one of crime fiction’s most beloved long-running series, and [Harlan Coben](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlan_Coben) himself has described it as his most prized creative property.

## The Creative Team

This is where things get genuinely exciting. The series boasts Emmy winner David E. Kelley — creator of *Big Little Lies* and *Ally McBeal* — and Kyle Long (*Suits*) as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners.

Greg Yaitanes, who directed multiple episodes of Apple TV+’s *Presumed Innocent*, will direct multiple episodes and executive produce. Also executive producing are Matthew Tinker and Rick Muirragui.

Coben himself was effusive about the partnership: “What an honor — not to mention, great fun — it is to partner up at Netflix with legend David E. Kelley and his remarkable team on this exciting new series. The Myron Bolitar books mean a great deal to me, and I’m thrilled to have such a talented and inspired group bringing them to life.”

## Why This Matters

Getting a *Myron Bolitar* series off the ground has been a top priority for Netflix since 2022, when the streamer extended its original deal with Coben to add 12 more titles — including the full Bolitar series and the offshoot novel *Win*. This is the most personal Coben adaptation Netflix has ever attempted, and it is also their first US-set Coben series — a milestone in a partnership that has already produced some of the streamer’s biggest hits.

Filming is scheduled to begin July 20, 2026, in New York and New Jersey, concluding around November 6, 2026 — a nearly four-month shoot. With post-production factored in, a second-half-of-2027 Netflix release is the most realistic window. No cast has been confirmed yet, but announcements are expected soon.
