EXCLUSIVE: Robert Hull, who serves as showrunner for Netflix’s upcoming Harlan Coben adaptation I Will Find You, is launching a new production company.
Hull is launching StoryMath with Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, who created CBS’ God Friended Me.
This comes after Hull signed with Range Media Partners.
StoryMath will be behind an English-language adaptation of The Innocent, based on Coben’s eponymous 2005 book, which was previously adapted by Netflix into a Spanish-language series in 2021. The U.S. version is set up at Netflix with Coben’s company Final Twist also producing.
The production company will also be repped by Range and CAA, which both now rep the trio.
Hull is becoming quite the creative partner for prolific author Coben, who has an overall deal with Netflix. He created, serves as showrunner and is exec producing I Will Find You, which is due out on the streamer later this year.
The series marks the first Coben project greenlit out of the U.S., rather than previous shows, which have come out of the UK.
Currently in post-production, it follows an innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son, who receives evidence that his child may still be alive—and must break out of prison to find out the truth.
It stars Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Erin Richards, Logan Browning, Jonathan Tucker and Chi McBride.
Hull previously served as co-showrunner and exec producer on God Friended Me, the Brandon Micheal Hall-led series that ran for two seasons on CBS. Other credits including NBC’s Quantum Leap, Fox’s Gotham and Alcatraz, ABC’s Once Upon A Time and The CW’s Gossip Girl and Veronica Mars.
Hull also continues to be repped by Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan LLP, while Lilien and Wynbrandt are also repped by Yorn, Levine, Barnes, Krintzman, Rubenstein, Kohner, Endlich, Goodell & Gellman.
