The series promises to delve into themes of desire, appearances, and rebellion.

In the drama genre, Netflix has greenlit Myron Bolitar, based on Harlan Coben’s popular novels. Created by Emmy winner David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) and Kyle Long (Suits), the series will follow a former NBA star who becomes a sports agent, navigating the high-stakes world of professional sports. Kelley will write, executive produce, and co-showrun the project.
