Loved ‘I Will Find You’? These shows will have you on the edge of your seat

Winter is the perfect excuse for a binge-watching session, and I Will Find You has arrived on Netflix just in time.

Based on Harlan Coben's bestselling 2023 novel, the eight-part series follows David Burroughs, a man serving a life sentence for the murder of his son, who discovers the child may still be alive. We won't spoil it for those of you who are yet to watch, but what follows is a relentless search for answers that spirals into some pretty hefty twists and turns.

However, if you're reading this, it's likely that you have already tuned in, and are now starving for something in a similar vein to watch next. Well, luckily, we've been there and have found plenty to fill the void. Below, seven shows like I Will Find You that are worthy of your next watch.

 

Defending Jacob

Based on the bestselling novel by William Landay, Defending Jacob follows attorney Andy Barber, whose life is turned upside down when his 14-year-old son Jacob is accused of murdering a classmate. Like I Will Find You, it's a story driven by a father's determination to uncover the truth, but also asks how far parents will go to protect their children.

Mare of Easttown

If you like your shows with major twists, this is for you. Mare of Easttown follows detective Mare Sheehan as she investigates the murder of a young mother while grappling with mounting pressures in her own life. It's led by Kate Winslet (who delivers a pretty incredible performance), and is genuinely compelling mystery.

Presumed Innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal leads this thriller as a prosecutor who finds himself accused of murdering a colleague – who he also happened to be having an affair with. If this had you on the edge of your seat you're in luck, because there's a second season in the anthology en route later this year.

Black Bird

Inspired by a true story, Black Bird follows a convicted who is offered a chance at freedom if he can befriend a suspected serial killer and secure a confession.

Dark and deeply unsettling, but we promise you won't be able to stop watching.
