David Borroughs and Rachel Mills are finally at peace.
In I Will Find You, Netflix’s new Harlan Coben series, Sam Worthington stars alongside Britt Lower, and the pair work together to track down Worthington’s young son, Matthew, whom he was wrongfully convicted of killing, after discovering the boy may actually be alive.
The series concludes with a surprising romance between Worthington and Lower’s characters, David and Rachel, who are shown holding hands in the final scene of the finale.
“I think it’s such a beautiful, quiet moment, and it’s really earned from what they’ve been through together,” Lower tells PEOPLE of the scene at the New York City premiere.

“The whole family is together, Matthew’s holding his little sister, and I think you get a sense that this family’s going to move on, one step at a time,” she says. The happy family moment came after tragedy, as Milo Ventimiglia’s character, Hayden, was revealed to have abducted David’s son five years ago.
“They’re going to, probably, need a lot of therapy, but they’re going to do it together,” Lower, 40, continues. “That moment, I think, is a nice, quiet gesture.”
She was initially drawn to the character — the series marks her first major role since Severance —in part because of Coben.
“I was really excited. There’s like sci-fi, there’s Western and then there’s the Harlan Coben genre, and it was really exciting to be a part of,” she says of the author, 64. “It’s a very active role. Rachel is a boots-on-the-ground, very hands-on journalist. She has a fire in her belly and she’s really committed to integrity.”
“I really admired her point of view,” she adds of Rachel. “She has a strong moral compass and she’s just part of this really tight-knit family. She loves her sister and she really believes in David’s humanity from the start.”
The ending is somewhat open-ended, at least in regards to where David and Rachel stand, but Lower told Netflix’s Tudum, “I love that the show ends there — in that quiet, reflective moment rather than a neat resolution.”
“Rachel and David have both been through profound loss and come out the other side with a deeper understanding of who they are and what really matters. They showed up fully — for Matthew, for their family, for each other — during the hardest chapter of their lives. That’s a pretty extraordinary foundation for whatever comes next. I think they face it with their eyes open.”
I Will Find You is now streaming on Netflix.
