Thriller novelist Harlan Coben (Fool Me Once, Lazarus) is back at it again with the upcoming release of Run Away, a Netflix adaptation of his 2019 novel of the same name, according to Deadline.
The series starring James Nesbitt (Missing You, Bloody Sunday) dropped its first trailer Monday, a month out from its January 1 premiere, Deadline reports.
According to an official synopsis provided by Deadline, Run Away follows Simon, whose eldest daughter Paige runs away and everything falls apart. Now, when he finds her, vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home. But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence. Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his search to find her will take him into a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.
Per Deadline, the series also stars Minnie Driver (The Borderline, Good Will Hunting), Ruth Jones (Gavin & Stacy, Stella), and Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, Miss Austen).
The series will be the newest in a series of adaptations produced for Netflix based on Coben’s novels including Fool Me Once, which became the streamer’s most watched show of 2024, according to Deadline. Coben also co-created the six-part Lazarus with Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Ten Pound Poms) this year for Prime Video, and an American adaptation of I Will Find You is upcoming on Netflix, starring Sam Worthington (Fuze, Avatar).
Other novels penned by Coben that have been adapted for the small screen include Caught, Just One Look, Missing You, Shelter, and Hold Tight, among others.
Coben will collaborate again with Brocklehurst, his frequent writing partner, on Run Away, along with Quay Street Productions founder Nicola Shindler (The Guest, It’s a Sin), per Deadline. The cast is rounded out by Lucian Msamati (Conclave, See How They Run), Jon Pointing (Big Boys, Sweetpea), Tracy-Ann Oberman (Play for Today, Toast of London), Annette Badland (Big Boys, Ted Lasso), and Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Champagne Problems, Gran Turismo).
Coben will also executive produce the series with Shindler, Brocklehurst, Richard Fee (After the Flood, Safe), and Nimer Rashed (Missing You, The Good Karma Hospital).
