Netflix to premiere Run Away, Coben adaptation, Jan 1, 2026

Netflix will premiere Run Away, an eight-episode adaptation of Harlan Coben's 2019 novel, on January 1, 2026. The drama stars James Nesbitt as Simon, whose seemingly settled family life collapses after his eldest daughter Paige disappears. Netflix released first-look images and confirmed the series was filmed in and around Manchester and other locations in the North West of England.

Run Away follows Simon as he locates Paige, played by Ellie de Lange, in a city park where she is vulnerable and using drugs. An encounter escalates into violence, and in the aftermath Simon loses his daughter again. His subsequent search draws him into a dangerous criminal underworld and uncovers family secrets that threaten to tear his household apart, according to the series synopsis.

The production brings together a prominent British cast that also includes Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati, Jon Pointing, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Annette Badland and others. Quay Street Productions, part of ITV Studios, produced the show. Coben serves as executive producer through his Final Twist Productions, and Danny Brocklehurst, who returns as lead writer, is also an executive producer. Nicola...
