Netflix Plans Worldwide Release of Harlan Coben's New Thriller Series Run Away

Netflix is set to release a new Harlan Coben thriller series titled "Run Away" on January 1, 2026, continuing its successful streak of adapting Coben's novels for the screen. The eight-episode series stars James Nesbitt and Ruth Jones and follows Simon, whose perfect life unravels after his eldest daughter Paige runs away and becomes entangled in a dangerous underworld. The story, relocated from the U.S. to the U.K., delves into themes of family secrets and violence, with Danny Brocklehurst, known for his work on "Fool Me Once" and "Brassic," serving as lead writer and executive producer. Produced by Quay Street Productions with Coben as executive producer through Final Twist Productions, the show features a strong supporting cast including Alfred Enoch and Minnie Driver. "Run Away" follows the success of previous Coben adaptations on Netflix, such as "Missing You," which amassed over 94 million views, and continues the collaboration with British talent. The series promises a compelling mix of mystery and drama, making it a highly anticipated watch for fans of thriller adaptations.
