Run Away arrives on Netflix

Harlan Coben’s Run Away Is Streaming Now on Netflix

Full of twists, turns, and lots of secrets, Netflix says the limited series will have you on the edge of your seat.

**What is Run Away and who is in it**

Run Away, which, like Missing You and Fool Me Once before it, premiered on the first day of the new year. James Nesbitt, who starred in the Missing You, leads Run Away as Simon, a man whose perfect life starts to crumble after his daughter Paige (Ellie de Lange), well, runs away.

According to Coben, the show:

“…is about family — about what we will do to keep our family intact, what secrets we keep within our family, and what secrets we keep as a family. Every time you walk past the house, there’s a whole universe that goes on behind that door and none of us have a clue what it is.”

The eight-episode thriller — inspired by Coben’s 2019 novel of the same name — uncovers those secrets, as Simon realizes he has a chance to save Paige. However, his journey will unearth untold violence that threatens to “blow up” his family for good, Coben says. Nesbitt is joined by co-stars Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, and Lucian Msamati.

Run Away, like many of Coben’s previous Netflix adaptations, is set in the UK. Filming began in January 2025 in Manchester and the northwest of England. The show is available now, and here’s a trailer:
