Netflix has begun production on Myron Bolitar, its first adaptation centred on Harlan Coben’s long-running and popular book character. The series expands Netflix’s successful partnership with Coben and follows recent adaptations that have performed strongly for the streamer.

Colin Woodell will play Myron, a former NBA prospect whose injury leads him to become a sports agent navigating dangerous professional-sports cases. The show will begin with Coben’s second Myron Bolitar novel, Drop Shot, and also stars KJ Apa and Diane Guerrero, alongside actors including Jabari Banks, Chloe Fineman, Melissa Benoist and Ben McKenzie. Netflix confirmed filming had started through an Instagram set photo featuring Coben, Woodell, Apa and Guerrero.
