Run Away Trailer and Key Art Reveal Harlan Coben’s New Thriller
Today, Netflix released the official trailer for Run Away, Harlan Coben’s new thriller starring James Nesbitt. The eight-part limited series will be arriving on Netflix globally on January 1, 2026.
Also starring Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, and Alfred Enoch, Run Away follows 2025’s hugely successful limited thriller series Missing You.
In Run Away, Simon (Nesbitt) had the perfect life: a loving wife and kids, a great job, and a 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.
Run Away is produced by Quay Street Productions (Fool Me Once, Missing You). Harlan Coben will serve as executive producer through his company, Final Twist Productions.
Danny Brocklehurst is the lead writer and serves as executive producer. Quay Street Productions, Nicola Shindler, and Richard Fee are the executive producers. Nimer Rashed is the lead director and executive producer.
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.
Lucian Msamati, Jon Pointing, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Annette Badland, Maeve Courtier-Lilley, Ellie de Lange, Adrian Greensmith, Ellie Henry, Ingrid Oliver, Finty Williams, Joe McGann, and Amy Gledhill round out the cast.
Run Away is one of 13 titles from bestselling author Harlan Coben produced for Netflix. Coben continues his work with local screenwriters from around the world to bring his novels to life on screen, so far across four languages.
