Based on Coben’s 2019 bestselling novel, Run Away stars James Nesbitt as Simon Greene, a man whose seemingly perfect life unravels when his eldest daughter Paige (Ellie de Lange) disappears. When Simon finally tracks her down, he’s drawn into a shocking chain of events that exposes a dark underworld of addiction, violence and long-buried family secrets.

Joining Nesbitt are Ruth Jones as private investigator Elena Ravenscroft and Minnie Driver as Simon’s wife Ingrid, alongside Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati, Jon Pointing, and Adrian Greensmith.

The drama is directed by Nimer Rashed and produced by Quay Street Productions for Netflix, with Coben serving as executive producer through his company Final Twist Productions.

"Run Away is about family – about what we will do to keep it intact, what secrets we keep within it, and what secrets we keep as a family," Coben told Netflix’s Tudum. "Every time you walk past a house, there’s a whole universe that goes on behind that door – and none of us have a clue what it is."

Filmed in Manchester and across northwest England, Run Away will debut on Netflix on 1st January 2026, kicking off the year with Coben’s trademark mix of mystery, emotion and high-stakes twists.

Why not get ahead of the crowd and see it before everyone else?
