Netflix has released the first look images for Run Away, the new 8×60 limited series adapted from Harlan Coben’s novel.
Run Away stars James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver and Alfred Enoch and follows 2025’s limited thriller series Missing You. The series arrives on Netflix on 1st January 2026.
Run Away is produced by Quay Street Productions (Part of ITV Studios). Harlan Coben will serve as executive producer through his company, Final Twist Productions. Danny Brocklehurst is the lead writer and serves as executive producer. For Quay Street Productions, Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee are executive producers.
Simon (Nesbitt) had the perfect life: loving wife and kids, great job, beautiful home. But then his eldest daughter Paige ran away and everything fell apart. So now when he finds her, vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home. But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence. In the aftermath, Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his search to find her will take him into a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.
In keeping with previous Harlan Coben adaptations, Run Away will relocate the story from the US to the UK. Filming took place in and around Manchester and the North West of England.
