Netflix’s Western Remake Loses Momentum to Harlan Coben’s Hit Mystery Thriller
Netflix's new Western drama Little House on the Prairie has launched strongly, but it has been overtaken globally by Harlan Coben's crime thriller I Will Find You, according to viewership figures reported by Collider. The Laura Ingalls Wilder adaptation has proved popular with both audiences and critics, prompting Netflix to renew it for a second season, though it now sits behind Coben's series in the global rankings. The comparison highlights the strength of Netflix's book-to-screen adaptation strategy, with two very different literary sources both drawing large audiences at once.
Little House on the Prairie recorded 6.4 million views in its first four days and remains the most-streamed title in the United States, with Collider's own review calling it a "masterpiece". Globally, however, it currently ranks third, behind I Will Find You, the latest Coben adaptation starring Sam Worthington and Britt Lower, which has amassed 85 million views in its first month, continuing Coben's prolific run of Netflix hits following Missing You and Fool Me Once.
