Harlan Coben Wants Kate Winslet for a Netflix Adaptation
In a new interview with Collider, Harlan Coben named Kate Winslet as his top pick among actresses he'd love to cast in a future Netflix project.
Harlan Coben has a wish list, and Kate Winslet sits at the top of it. In an interview with Collider, the author and producer said he has always wanted to work with the Oscar-winning actress, calling her one of his favorites.
Asked who he would choose if he had to pick somebody, Coben did not hesitate: Winslet. The comment points to a possible future Netflix adaptation with the Titanic and Mare of Easttown star attached.
Coben's partnership with Netflix stretches back to 2018, when the mystery drama Safe launched on the streamer. That collaboration has since grown into one of the platform's most reliable franchises.
In 2026 alone, two Coben adaptations arrived on Netflix: Run Away and I Will Find You. No project with Winslet has been announced, and Coben's remarks were framed as an aspiration rather than a confirmed deal.
