A new Harlan Coben Netflix show is now available to stream, and of course, tons of people are watching it to see what thrilling twists and mysteries unfold. It's an Argentinian thriller series called Caught or Atrapados in Spanish, and it marks the first Latin American adaptation of Coben's work.

This show comes just a few weeks after the release of Just One Look, another Coben television series adaptation. It's based on Coben's bestselling 2010 crime thriller novel of the same name and stars Soledad Villamil as Ema Garay, a journalist who has made a name for herself in the digital media world for exposing and taking down criminals.

But she soon finds her world turned upside down when she crosses paths with Leo Mercer, a well-respected community figure, who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation into the disappearance of a young woman. As Ema delves deeper into the case,...

Revered journalist Ema Garay, known for unmasking criminals who’ve evaded the law, is thrown off course when she meets Leo Mercer, a respected man in the community who becomes her prime suspect when she sets out to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl. As she searches for the truth, Ema is forced to confront her own demons.

Harlan Coben’s first Latin American adaptation, the series Caught — based on the book of the same name — stars Soledad Villamil, Juan Minujín, and Alberto Ammann. Directed by Miguel Cohan (Blood Will Tell) and Hernán Goldfrid (The Bronze Garden), it’s the third adaptation of Coben’s books to premiere this year, along with Missing You and Just One Look. Previous Netflix shows based on Coben's books include Fool Me Once, Hold Tight, The Innocent, Stay Close, Gone for Good, The Stranger, The Woods, and Safe. His upcoming Netflix projects Run...

Us Harlan Coben fans have been spoiled this month as not one, but two, of the author's stories have come to life and been adapted into television series. They join the long roster of Harlan Coben shows on Netflix right now. Earlier in the month, Just One Look, set in Poland, came out. And now it's almost time for Argentina-based drama, Caught to debut. Exactly when can you start watching?

Harlan Coben's Caught premieres Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at 12 a.m. Pt on Netflix. There's a total of 6 episodes. Most of the author's works have been adapted into international titles, so you probably know by now that you can watch the upcoming show with either English subtitles or dubbed in English.

It's Spanish you'll hear if you go that route as the series is set in Argentina. And if you live there, then you'll be happy to know the streamer is available...

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”).

Speaking on Zoom from Buenos Aires, Coben was full of praise for the work Cohan and his team had done on the mini-series adaptation for Netflix, set to debut worldwide on March 26. “What I love about this project is the idea of taking a novel by an American author and blending it with Argentine sensibilities – especially their incredible talent and unique settings,” he said.

He took a hands-off approach to the re-version, trusting them implicitly on their ability to adapt his work to an Argentine backdrop.

“I did not feel the need to interfere all that much but I did really want Soledad Villamil for the lead from day one,” he noted of the...

Harlan Coben's series on Netflix are addictive, puzzling, quirky, mysterious, thrilling, and full of twists and turns. Expect more of the same coming your way soon. A new series from Netflix’s favorite thriller writer is set to launch later this month.

Caught was Coben’s tenth novel when released in 2010. It’s one of 14 of his books being dramatized for Netflix under a long-term deal between the platform and Coben. This one is a roller coaster of a thriller which will have you gripped. It looks set to be a strong binge-watch show.

As a quick scene setting, the show was filmed in Argentina and is Coben’s first Latin America set adaptation. That just adds a neat extra flavour to the show helping make it stand out from the crowd. The author again took on an Executive Producer role so we can be very confident of this being another high-quality drama.

Harlan Coben shows on Netflix really are the gift that keeps on giving as the streaming service continues to churn out one series after the other. And we're so here for it! Earlier this month, French drama Just One Look, which adapted the author's 2004 novel of the same name. And now, it's almost time for another one - Caught. And the trailer has us excited to see it!

Caught premieres Wednesday, March 26, 2025 with all 6 episodes on Netflix. The book it's based on was published in 2010. Though the written story takes place in New Jersey, the Netflix adaptation has set the tale in Argentina. This isn't the first time the streamer has changed up the location and language of the writer's tales and made them into international titles instead. Before we get into more details on what you can expect, check out the trailer below:

As is usual with Coben's work,...

"It was a setup, Ema!" "I won't be manipulated by you anymore." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an Argentinian mystery thriller series titled Caught, arriving for streaming later this month. Yet another crime thriller to feed audiences & keep them hooked. In the Argentinian city of Bariloche, reporter Ema Garay's online exposes unveil tax dodgers and other criminals who manage to evade the law. Her probe into a 16-year-old's disappearance in her town points to community member Leo Mercer – upending both their lives. While Ema tries to discover the truth, she'll also have to confront herself. Harlan Coben's first Latin American adaptation, based on his own novel Caught, premieres on March 26 on Netflix. The series stars Soledad Villamil as Ema, Juan Minujín and Alberto Ammann, with a special appearance by Matías Recalt. Also starring Fernán Mirás and Mike Amigorena, and introducing Carmela Rivero. Netflix released an English dub...

The newly released trailer for Caught teases the latest Harlan Coben adaptation coming to Netflix. Filmed against the scenic backdrop of Patagonia, Argentina, the upcoming six-episode miniseries marks the first-ever Latin American adaptation of the bestselling work from the mystery and thriller novelist. Netflix’s ongoing collaboration with Coben has sparked a long line of successful TV adaptations, including Fool Me Once, Stay Close, and most recently Missing You, which topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 for English-language series upon its release earlier this year. Caught is set to premiere on March 26.

Now, Netflix has released the first official trailer for Caught, which follows investigative journalist Ema Garay, played by Soledad Villamil, as she builds her reputation by exposing criminals who evade justice. Her latest case takes a dark and unexpected turn when she meets Leo Mercer (Juan Minujín), a respected social worker who becomes the prime suspect in her investigation...

It's the first day of a new month, and you know what that means — a bevy of titles have just been added to all the streaming platforms. It's a bit of a small month for Netflix, at least in terms of older films coming to the platform for the first time. While the streamer hopes that a few of their original titles in March will be huge (specifically The Electric State and Adolescence), it's otherwise a pretty mild month of movies. Friday and Next Friday will bring the comedy, along with 50 First Dates and Ted, and Do the Right Thing will bring Spike Lee's masterpiece to the streamer; plus, the final cut of Blade Runner has just been added. They added some high-adrenaline action movies as well — Black Hawk Down, Blood and Bone, and the brilliant Sicario, along with a real delight, Cell 211.

While you've probably heard...

If you're a fan of the Harlan Coben Netflix shows, you don't have to wait long for the next one! After Missing You premiered on Netflix on Jan. 1, 2025, Netflix is rolling out the next of Coben's shows in March.

We've known for a while that Caught (also known as Atrapados) would be the next of Coben's shows coming to Netflix, thanks to updates from the mystery author himself. We just didn't know it would be in the same quarter as Missing You. Two Harlan Coben Netflix shows in one quarter? We aren't complaining!

Caught release date

Caught premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, March 26, according to Coben, who announced the release date on Twitter/X. That's where Coben shares a ton of updates about his projects, so give him a follow if you want to stay up to date.

In addition to the premiere date, Coben also shared the first teaser trailer of the new series.

Harlan Coben has become a key creator of Netflix shows, and it’s not going to stop anytime soon! Here’s a look at what other shows based on the author’s works are coming to the streamer.

Since 1990, Harlan Coben has become a bestselling author known for twisty crime thrillers and dramas that often involve exploring the secrets buried behind seemingly idyllic families and neighborhoods. That includes the Myron Bolitar series and scores of stand-alone novels.

Not surprisingly, there have been some adaptations of Coben’s works, such as Prime Video’s short-lived Shelter. However, in 2018, Coben signed a deal with Netflix which has since produced eight limited series based on his various novels. The latest, Missing You, debuted on January 1, 2025.

However, that’s far from the last project coming to the streamer. Here’s 6 Harlan Coben shows that are in the works and coming to Netflix (and actually...

Netflix has teased their latest crime thriller series, with the first trailer for Prison Cell 211 promising a gripping, terrifying tale of a human rights lawyer who finds himself trapped inside a border town prison during a riot and pretending to be a fellow prisoner in order to survive. The series is all set to land on the streaming platform next month, and you can check out the explosive new trailer below.

Based on an unbelievable true story, Prison Cell 211 (Celda 211) is led by Diego Calva Hernández, who is best known for roles in the horror spin-off Bird Box: Barcelona, the crime drama series Narcos: Mexico, and the deeply divisive historical drama Babylon. The rest of the cast includes Noé Hernández (We Are the Flesh) and Gerardo Taracena. Prison Cell 211 is due to hit Netflix next month on February 5, 2025, and you can check out the official synopsis for the limited series below.

Missing You is one of Netflix's most popular shows at the moment. With all five episodes of the mystery thriller dropping nearly a week ago, most viewers have already binge-watched them all. Now, they're left wondering if a new batch of episodes will be released soon in a Missing You season 2.

Unfortunately, this will not happen. Like all of Harlan Coben's previous Netflix shows, Missing You is a limited series. This means it was designed to be a self-contained series with a complete story told within a single season. While some may argue that the show ended in a way where more story could be told, that's just not going to happen. The mystery thriller pretty much ended the same way the Missing You book did.

However, don't feel sad! Harlan Coben has several new Netflix series in the works that'll fill the void. In fact, one of...

Netflix's newest Harlan Coben show, Missing You, will not be the streaming service's last adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel. In 2018, Harlan Coben signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix (via Deadline). The deal includes Netflix adapting 14 of Harlan Coben's books into TV shows. So far, Netflix has made eight Harlan Coben TV shows, with Harlan Coben as the executive producer. There are a few more of Coben's books that Netflix plans to adapt. Most recently, Netflix adapted Missing You, based on Harlan Coben's novel of the same name.

Netflix's Missing You has a diverse cast of characters and a thrilling plot with many twists and turns. Missing You's ending is a jaw-dropping finale that wraps up the show's storylines. Similarly to Netflix's other adaptations of Harlan Coben's books, Netflix made big changes in their adaptation of Missing You. While some of these changes improved the narrative, some were not great.

What shows and documentaries were the best on Netflix? The streaming giant remains one of the top platforms for go-to shows and documentaries. Shows that have enticed the audience over the years have brought excitement and interest for everyone to watch.

During the holidays, this is the best opportunity to watch these Netflix shows and documentaries over again.

These are following shows that can have everyone’s interest over again and reminiscing the audience caught and some who missed out:

Binge watching the Netflix shows (again) is a perfect way to spend the Christmas holidayNarcos

Narcos goes back to the days of the notorious drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar. It follows the DEA agents Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Javier Pena (Pedro Pascal), who attempt to infiltrate and disrupt Escobar’s (Wagner Moura) drug empire in order to capture him.

The show is inspired by true events that took place in Colombia.

Netflix gave a sneak peek at its 2025 line-up of non-English programming yesterday with shows such as The Leopard (Italy), Last Samurai Standing (Japan), The Empress S2 (Germany), El Refugio Atómico (Spain), Senna (Brazil), Alice in Borderland S3 (Japan), and even this year’s One Hundred Years of Solitude (Colombia).

“People like the authenticity of local stories,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said.

“When you try to make something that appeals to everyone, you just end up making something that appeals to no one.” It’s why Bajaria encourages her teams to be ambitious and support the vision of creators with the “goal to make shows and films that resonate in their home country first.”

Netflix shouted out the stat that they dub in 36 languages and subtitle shows in 33 languages. Bajaria also said that 80% of Netflix subs watch Korean content.

“Artificial justice” is a Prime Video movie directed by Simón Casal starring Verónica Echegui and Alberto Ammann. With Alba Galocha, Tamar Novas, and Lúcia Moniz.

“Artificial justice” explores a science fiction concept that is already being seriously considered in the legal arena: the use of artificial intelligence systems to streamline and make judicial processes more efficient.

Beyond this intriguing premise, the film unfolds an engaging conspiracy thriller, with a compelling storyline and a captivating main character.

With a premise that’s more than just intriguing, it successfully develops a suspenseful and easily watchable narrative.

Plot

The Spanish Government authorizes the use of Artificial Intelligence in the judicial system. A private company is tasked with developing the AI, and a judge is called upon to test the system.

About the Movie

Upon seeing the premise, one might fear the obvious: that the strength of the premise might overshadow the dramatic development of the film.

As we move closer to the end of 2024, now is the perfect time to look back at some of the worst shows of the year. It has been a fruitful year for TV watchers, particularly those who prefer to stream their series. We’ve seen an interesting mix of new shows and the anticipated return of old favorites. Still, this doesn’t mean they have all been winners.

Before we share which shows have been the most disappointing, let’s give recognition to some of the many series we’ve enjoyed the most. At the top of my list, I have Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent, Prime Video’s Fallout, and Hulu’s The Bear season 3. I know Netflix’s Baby Reindeer also received a lot of attention, as well as the returning Prime Video favorite, The Boys with season 4. Which shows have made it to your favorites list so far?...

In the lively 1980s of Spain, a band emerged that thrilled audiences with their vibrant dance performances and electrifying music. Locomía captivated clubgoers from Ibiza to Latin America with their fusion of colorful costumes and enthusiastic rhythms. Now, director Kike Maíllo invites viewers along on Locomía’s exciting journey from their beginnings in Ibiza’s nightlife scene to the heights of international stardom.

The new biographical film Disco, Ibiza, Locomía tells Locomía’s compelling story, exploring how the group came to be and what successes and struggles they encountered along the way. We learn about founder Xavi Font and his friends who arrived on the island seeking fame, developing a unique style that caught the attention of music producer Jose Luis Gil. Together they crafted Locomía into a sensation that dominated Europe’s dance floors and enchanted crowds across the Americas.

But Maíllo’s film does not simply recount Locomo’s rise to the top.

The Longest Night season 2 is the long-awaited next chapter in the Spanish Netflix series and with an ending like the one in season 1, fans have high expectations for what comes next. One of many notable Spanish-language TV series streaming on Netflix, The Longest Night was created by Vctor Sierra and Xos Morais and premiered on July 8, 2022, for six episodes. A prison-themed television show, The Longest Night, or La noche ms larga in the original Spanish, stars Luis Callejo as Simn Lago, a prisoner in the Prison of Monte Baruca on Christmas Eve.

Lago, also known as "The Alligator", is a notorious serial killer who is captured under suspicious circumstances and sent to a psychiatric hospital rather than a maximum security prison. Prison warden, Hugo Roca (Alberto Ammann), is called away from Christmas Eve dinner with his three children to watch over his transfer. However, once there, an armed rescue team arrives for Lago,...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been all the rage, and a reason to start raging about their impact for some, in Hollywood. So it was no surprise that Iberseries & Platino Industria put new technologies, led by AI, but also digital doubles, center stage on its fourth and final day.

The big event for Spanish- and Portuguese-language content in Madrid, Spain featured a session with experts to explore opportunities and risks. The panelists were Clara Ruipérez, director of legal strategy for content, brands and digital transformation at Telefonica, Ignacio Lacosta, founder of XReality Studios, Undersecretary of Culture Carmen Páez, Óscar Olarte, co-founder & CEO of Mr Factory, and Curro Royo, screenwriter (HBO/Max Spain series Like Water for Chocolate) and vp of Dama, which manages the remuneration rights for audiovisual creators in Spain.

“This technology leaves creators behind,” warned Royo. “The monster has been fed with our work,” and “it has come to stay.

Would you rather be judged in court by a human or by artificial intelligence? That was one key question in focus on Wednesday night at the Iberseries & Platino Industria conference and market in Madrid.

Platino Educa, the educational platform of the event, screened the new film Artificial Justice (Justicia Artificial) from Spain and Portugal. Written and directed by Simón Casal, it stars Verónica Echegui, Tamar Novas, Alba Galocha and Alberto Ammann.

“In the near future, the government aims to replace judges with artificial intelligence software, pledging to effectively automate and depoliticize the justice system,” explains a synopsis. “Carmen Costa, a distinguished judge, has been invited to assess this new procedure. However, when the software’s creator is found dead, she realizes her life is in danger and that she will have to fight the powerful interests that are at play in the highest echelons of the state.”

The year is 1987, and Ibiza stands as the global epicenter of disco music, a hotbed of hedonism marked by rampant drug use, alcohol, and uninhibited sexuality. In this wild, pulsating atmosphere, a distinctive disco group emerged, brandishing fans and capturing the zeitgeist of an era. If you are Spanish and have a few decades behind you, the name Locomía will undoubtedly evoke memories—this group epitomized the excess and flamboyance of the late eighties.

Griselda is hands down one of the best crime dramas streaming on Netflix. It was released on the streaming platform back in January 2024 and was an instant hit. It stars Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Sofia Vergara as one of the most notorious Colombian drug lords, Griselda Blanco, aka the Cocaine Godmother.

Over six episodes, viewers watch Griselda's journey from beginning to end as she rises from obscurity to become an infamous Colombian drug trader, creating one of the most profitable cartels in history. Starring alongside Vergara were Alberto Guerra, Vanessa Ferlito, Christian Tappan, Martin Rodriguez, Juliana Aidén Martinez, Alberto Ammann, and many others.

Vergara had not only starred in the series but also served as an executive producer. Griselda had been somewhat of a passion project of hers for a very long time. In a new interview with Variety, Vergara spoke about what led her to want to create a series about Griselda's life,...

Se ha publicado el primer tráiler de la película española “Justicia Artificial”, un thriller político, con referencias al cine negro, ambientado en un futuro cercano que plantea el dilema moral entre la mente humana versus la inteligencia artificial, en el ámbito de la administración de justicia.

En “Justicia Artificial”, el gobierno español anuncia un referéndum para aprobar la introducción de un sistema de Inteligencia Artificial en la Administración de Justicia. El sistema promete automatizar y despolitizar la justicia sustituyendo, en la práctica, a todos los jueces y juezas del país. El referéndum desata una encarnizada campaña electoral en la que se enfrentan dos bandos: el Gobierno en alianza con la tecnológica creadora del sistema, y el Poder Judicial, que defiende el carácter exclusivamente humano de la justicia.

Almost everyone knows the name of Tony Montana, the fictional drug lord immortalized by Al Pacino in the 1983 movie "Scarface," yet few know the name of Miami's real-life most notorious king, er, queenpin, Griselda Blanco Restrepo. In the late 1970s, Blanco seized control of Miami's drug trade through incredible violence, waging war on any who opposed her. This led to the "Cocaine Cowboy" wars, in which Blanco's enforcers would kill their opponents in broad daylight, sometimes in motorcycle drive-by shootings. Blanco's life story is both fascinating and terrible, full of sex, drugs, and murder, and is totally ripe for a fictionalized interpretation.

Sofia Vergara stars as Blanco in "Griselda," a six-part limited series on Netflix that tells the story of the infamous self-made billionaire, drug pusher, and multiple murderer, although the real story is even more brutal and impossible to believe than the miniseries depicts. "Griselda" was made by "Narcos...

Most remember Griselda Blanco as the “Black Widow,” a ruthless Colombian drug lord whose network flooded Miami with cocaine, brought in $80 million a month nationally, and who’s been personally implicated in a rumored 200 murders. Michael Corleone Blanco, her youngest son raised at the height of her drug-trafficking empire, admits she was a rigid, stern woman he affectionately called cariñosa — an endearing term given to loved ones.

“As a kid, you can’t really comprehend what is wrong, what is right, and what is the family business,” Blanco tells Rolling Stone.

Warning: Spoilers for Griselda.

Griselda Blanco's rise to prominence in the Miami drug scene is depicted in the Netflix series Griselda, which explores her struggles as a female crime boss in a male-dominated world. Griselda's paranoia and loss of control lead to disastrous consequences, including the accidental death of an innocent child. The events mark a turning point in her empire. Griselda's plan to escape the cartel and secure protective custody backfires when her star witness, Rivi, betrays her to avoid the death penalty. The Da's case against her falls apart, but tragedy strikes before her release from prison.

Griselda is the newest crime drama from Netflix that hasn’t left the platform’s top 10 list since its debut last month. The limited series follows the notorious Colombian drug lord, Griselda Blanco (Sofía Vergara), whose cocaine trade took over the Miami drug scene in the 1970s until her eventual downfall in 1985 following her arrest.

Sofía Vergara's miniseries Griselda is dominating Netflix's global chart, becoming a hit series at Number 1 on the charts for its debut week.

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Griselda on Netflix.

The Netflix miniseries "Griselda" does not depict the death of Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord. Blanco was released from prison in 2004 due to health issues and lived a quiet life until she was assassinated in 2012. The producers of "Griselda" chose not to show Blanco's death as they prioritized capturing the emotional truth of her story.

The miniseries Griselda chronicles the life and crimes of Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord who was ultimately killed. The 2024 Netflix biographical crime drama television show was created by Doug Miro, Eric Newman, Carlo Bernard, and Ingrid Escajeda and produced by Sofia Vergara, who plays the titular character in the limited series. Blanco's story is told over the course of six episodes, starting from her move from Medellín, Colombia, to Miami, Florida, and ending with her imprisonment in the United States. However, the...

Sofia Vergara's role in the Netflix series "Griselda" has surpassed her "Modern Family" work based on its higher Rotten Tomatoes score. "Griselda" achieved an 88% Tomatometer score, surpassing "Modern Family's" 85% score, setting a new record for Vergara's highest TV show score. Previously, Vergara's best Tomatometer score was 87% for the film "Chef," but "Griselda" now holds the overall record for her on Rotten Tomatoes for movies and shows.

Sofia Vergara is best known for her portrayal of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in Modern Family, but her role in Griselda in 2024 might have surpassed her work in the ABC sitcom due to a new record. Vergara stars as Griselda Blanco in the Netflix limited series, which depicts the life of Blanco, a Colombian drug lord, including her move to Miami from Medellín and her eventual capture and arrest. The miniseries consists of only six episodes, while Modern Family ran for 11 seasons and 250 episodes,...

A lawsuit against Griselda Blanco's children claims they did not give permission for their family's likeness and interviews to be used in the Netflix series Griselda. Eric Newman, the show's co-creator, isn't fazed by the lawsuit, citing previous experiences dealing with similar claims on other projects. Sofia Vergara, the star of the series, admires Blanco for her accomplishments despite her horrific actions and stands by her portrayal of the character.

Griselda star Sofia Vergara and series co-creator Eric Newman have responded to a lawsuit brought to Netflix by the real Griselda Blanco's son, saying it's not his first time dealing with something like this. The miniseries dramatizes the historical figure's life as an infamous Colombian drug lord working out of Florida in the 1980s. However, Blanco's children have filed a lawsuit against the series' star and the streaming service, claiming their family was used in the show without permission.

In the past decade, there have been countless original TV shows that have thrived on streaming platforms. From raunchy comedies to intense dramas, to mystical fantasies, streaming platforms truly have something for everyone. But some of these shows tend to lose steam the longer they run, and in some cases, they can become too bizarre.

Some shows, such as Only Murders in the Building are forced to repeat similar set-ups that bizarrely feel more formulaic instead of zany and clever. Other series, like House of Cards, must write around an abrupt change in casting, effectively interrupting the flow of the story. Whatever the cause or method, these streaming series had a good thing going, until they became too strange to remain on top.
