The full trailer for Harlan Coben’s Run Away teases a gripping and emotional thriller as Netflix prepares to launch the eight-part limited series globally on January 1, 2026.
Netflix has debuted the full-length trailer for Harlan Coben’s newest thriller, Run Away, giving viewers a first look at the intense mystery unfolding when the series arrives globally on January 1, 2026. The eight-part limited drama stars James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, and Alfred Enoch, and follows the success of 2025’s hit limited series Missing You.
Run Away is produced by Quay Street Productions, part of ITV Studios, with Coben serving as executive producer through his company Final Twist Productions. Danny Brocklehurst is the lead writer and an executive producer, joined by executive producers Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee. Lead director Nimer Rashed also serves as an executive producer.
A Desperate Father, A Dangerous Underworld
At the center of the story is Simon, played by James Nesbitt, a man whose once-perfect life shatters when his eldest daughter Paige disappears. When he finally finds her strung out in a city park, he believes he has a chance to bring her home safely — until a violent confrontation sends her fleeing once again. Simon’s search drags him deep into a perilous underworld and uncovers devastating secrets that threaten to destroy his family.
Like previous Harlan Coben adaptations, Run Away relocates its U.S. setting to the U.K., with filming completed in Manchester and the North West of England.
