‘I Wanted Soledad Villamil for the Lead From Day One,’ Says Harlan Coben About the First Latin American Netflix Adaptation of One of His Novels, ‘Caught’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Author Harlan Coben and director-showrunner Miguel Cohan drill down on the first Latin American adaptation of a Coben novel, ‘Caught,’ for Netflix.

In an exclusive interview with Variety, bestselling author Harlan Coben sat down alongside director-showrunner Miguel Cohan (“No Return”) to drill down on the first Latin American Netflix adaptation of one of his multiple novels, “Caught,” (“Atrapados”). Transporting his story, originally set in New Jersey, to Argentina’s San Carlos de Bariloche, renowned for its pristine glacial lakes and awe-inspiring Patagonian mountains, was a masterstroke, in his opinion. It’s one of 13 Coben titles set for screen adaptation under his creative deal with Netflix, which includes major hits like “Fool Me Once” (2024), “Hold Tight” (2022), “The Innocent” (2021), “Stay Close” (2021), “Gone for Good” (2021), “The Stranger” (2020), “The Woods” (2020) and “Safe” (2018).
