Netflix Begins Production on Harlan Coben's 'Run Away' Starring James Nesbitt

The eight-episode thriller adapts the 2019 novel and features a star-studded cast with a planned UK setting.

James Nesbitt leads the cast as Simon Greene, a father searching for his troubled daughter Paige, played by Ellie de Lange, in a dangerous underworld.
The series, based on Harlan Coben's 2019 novel, continues the trend of relocating Coben's stories from the US to the UK, with filming underway in Manchester and the North West of England.
Run Away features an ensemble cast, including Minnie Driver, Ruth Jones, Alfred Enoch, and Lucian Msamati, among others, with Danny Brocklehurst returning as lead writer.
The show is expected to consist of eight episodes, a return to the standard format after the shorter five-episode run of Coben's previous Netflix series, Missing You.
While no official release date has been confirmed, speculation suggests a potential January 1, 2026, premiere to align with Netflix's tradition for Coben adaptations.
