We’re getting at least two new Harlan Coben adaptations on Netflix in 2025. We’ve already got the release date for Missing You, scheduled to hit Netflix on New Year’s Day, but the lesser-known Argentinian series Caught (also known as Atrapados in Spanish) is set to arrive sometime in 2025, too. We just got a new first look, so here’s a recap of everything we know.  

Since 2018, Netflix has been adapting the works of the prolific author Harlan Coben, with nine adaptations currently streaming as of late 2024, with lots more on the way. Caught was first released by the author back in February 2010 with the story set in New Jersey. We first learned about the book being turned into a new series when it was announced in March 2024 by Netflix, who revealed it’d be reworked to be set in Argentina and consist of six 45-minute episodes. Production began in March, filming in both Bariloche in the Argentine Patagonia and Buenos Aires.

While this isn’t the first international adaptation of Coben’s work, it is the first time one of his books has been adapted in Latin America for Netflix. So far, we’ve had a French series adaptation, a Polish adaptation, and a Spanish adaptation, with all the others being primarily British productions.

The new series is being helmed by Miguel Cohan, who serves as showrunner, co-director alongside Hernán Goldfrid, and one of four writers behind it alongside Ana Cohan, María Meira, and Gonzalo Salaya. The creator has previously teamed with Netflix on two projects: first in 2019 with Blood Will Tell and for a TV mini-series called The Kingdom.

The synopsis for the new series reads:

“Reporter Ema Garay gains visibility amongst digital journalism by catching criminals who tend to evade justice in
Bariloche city, in Patagonia Argentina. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Leo Mercer, a social worker
and referent, who ends up being the main suspect of her investigation of the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl. While
Ema tries to discover the truth, she will have to confront hers.”
