Robert Hull, the creator and showrunner of I Will Find You , previously worked on several television series, including Quantum Leap , Alcatraz , and Gotham. He is also credited as a writer and producer on some of those projects.
Robert Hull’s Other Series
Quantum Leap
Hull worked as a writer and executive producer on NBC’s Quantum Leap reboot, which premiered in 2022. The science-fiction drama follows Dr. Ben Song as he leaps into different points in history, attempting to repair lives and uncover the mystery behind the project that sent him through time.
Alcatraz
Hull was also involved with Alcatraz , the 2012 mystery series created by Elizabeth Sarnoff, Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt. The show follows a San Francisco detective and a government investigator as they investigate the unexplained return of prisoners and guards who vanished from Alcatraz decades earlier.
Gotham
Before I Will Find You , Hull was associated with Gotham , the crime drama centered on a young James Gordon and the future villains and heroes of Gotham City. The series ran for five seasons and explored the city’s criminal underworld before Batman’s emergence.
His Role on I Will Find You
Hull created and serves as showrunner of I Will Find You. He adapted the series from Harlan Coben’s 2023 novel, while Coben remains involved as an executive producer.
The Netflix thriller follows David Burroughs, a father serving a life sentence for his son’s murder who receives evidence suggesting that the boy may still be alive. He then attempts to uncover the truth, turning the story into a prison-break mystery as well as a family thriller.
Because Hull’s earlier credits include science fiction, crime drama and mystery, I Will Find You brings together several genres he has worked with before. However, it is his first major series partnership with Coben and his first Coben adaptation set in the United States.
