Lennie James and Jaime Winstone join cast of Channel 4’s ‘Run’

Posted Filed under

The four-part series is currently filming in and around London and the ensemble cast also includes Peep Show star Olivia Colman and Harry Potter‘s Katie Leung.

Run will “weave together the stories of four seemingly unconnected people who are facing life-changing decisions in a world where there is little choice and survival is never a given”.

Lennie James will play Richard, “a middle-aged ex-heroin addict struggling to stay clean so that he can re-establish contact with his teenage daughter Sabrina. As events conspire against him, Richard is torn between the world of drug addiction and the harder path to salvage the only relationship that matters to him.”

Winstone will play Tara, “a night-club stripper who discovers that that her Polish boyfriend, Tomek, has been killed in a vicious attack. Even worse, the news is delivered to her by Kasia, Tomek’s partner. Left alone to face the tangle of debts and chaos which Tomek has left in his wake, Kasia struggles to find the strength to survive. And perhaps to run.”
