Netflix has officially begun production on Myron Bolitar, a new drama series based on Harlan Coben’s bestselling mystery novels. The adaptation brings Coben’s beloved protagonist to the screen for the first time, with Colin Woodell (Pulse, The Continental) leading the cast alongside KJ Apa (The Map That Leads To You, Riverdale) and Diane Guerrero (Doom Patrol, Orange Is the New Black).
The series is co-showrun, written and executive produced by David E. Kelley (The Lincoln Lawyer, Big Little Lies) and Kyle Long (Bosch: Legacy, Suits). Greg Yaitanes (Presumed Innocent, House of the Dragon) will direct multiple episodes.
Additional cast are Jabari Banks (Bel-Air, Bad Genius), Chloe Fineman (Saturday Night Live, Summer of 69), Jamie McShane (Wednesday, Bloodline), Ben McKenzie (Gotham, The O.C.), Ra’Mya Latiah Aikens, Isaiah Hill (Swagger, One Spoon of Chocolate), Amanda Warren (The Night Agent, Dickinson), Quincy Isaiah (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, Nemesis), Bebe Neuwirth (Julia, Cheers), Griffin Dunne (The Is Us, Dallas Buyers Club), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl, The Girls on the Bus), Charlie Tahan (A Complete Unknown, Ozark), Jamie Hector (Bosch, The Wire), and Sandrine Holt (Imperfect Women, Your Friends & Neighbors).
The Myron Bolitar logline reads, “After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar 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.”
“After a decade and 11 series together, we’re honored that Harlan Coben has entrusted Netflix with his most personal and iconic character, Myron Bolitar. Bringing this story to the screen has been a big priority for us, and we knew that finding the right creative partners was essential. It’s been a dream to collaborate with David E. Kelley — a true master of the genre, and the talented Kyle Long on this series. This is a major milestone for our partnership, and we look forward to many more years of working together,” Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of series, US and Canada, tells Tudum.
