Netflix’s 2025 lineup feels like a dream come true, especially for fans of crime, thrillers, and horror. With the release of the record-breaking blockbuster Adolescence, the streaming giant is doubling down on its strategy to keep viewers glued to its platform, making binge-watching irresistible. Adding to the excitement, Netflix has once again joined forces with best-selling author Harlan Coben for a new TV adaptation. Caught delivers a gritty, dark mystery—but fans are now questioning: Is it the same as Atrapados?

The Spanish-language thriller Caught has left fans puzzled, sparking debate over whether Caught and Atrapados are the same series or entirely different mysteries. Are they connected, or is it just confusion?

Harlan Coben fans have a new Netflix series that was released today- Caught. For Spanish-speaking regions, the series is titled Atrapados, but both names refer to the same six-part limited series. Set in Argentina, it is adapted from Coben’s 2010 novel of the same name. Despite the different titles, Caught (Atrapados) is the same gripping thriller, offering the signature suspense and twists that define Coben’s storytelling.

In the series Caught, journalist Ema Garay gains recognition in digital media by uncovering criminals who evade justice in Bariloche, Argentina. Her career takes an unexpected turn when respected social worker Leo Mercer becomes the prime suspect in a teenager’s disappearance. As she digs deeper, personal conflicts arise. With Harlan Coben’s thrillers like Just One Look and Missing You captivating audiences, Caught is already attracting significant attention. Adding to the excitement, Coben has also penned a new novel that seems to build on the themes of one of his Netflix releases.

After Hold Tight, which of Harlan Coben books will get Netflix adaptation?

Harlan Coben has mastered the art of storytelling, crafting novels so compelling they demand to be seen as well as read. His latest book, Nobody’s Fool, appears to be a sequel to Netflix’s hit series.

Harlan Coben’s latest novel, Nobody’s Fool, follows Adeel Akhtar’s character, Sami Kierce, a year after the events of Fool Me Once. Interestingly, Kierce and his wife played minor roles in the original novel, making this book more of a sequel to the Netflix series than to Coben’s own work. Co-writer Danny Brocklehurst and producers Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee emphasized the depth added to Kierce’s character for television. If you enjoyed watching Fool Me Once, here are nine more gripping adaptations of Coben.

Harlan Coben reflected on how the creative team expanded Sami Kierce’s character for the eight-episode series, giving him an unexpectedly pivotal storyline. Nobody’s Fool picks up a year after the shocking events of Fool Me Once, as a buried secret from Kierce’s college days resurfaces. Now a private investigator and new father, he juggles debts by teaching aspiring detectives in New York—until he spots a familiar face in class. With Coben’s adaptations thriving on Netflix, anticipation for Caught has soared.
