Run Away (2026)

A desperate father searching for his runaway daughter gets caught up in a murder case — and stumbles upon secrets which could destroy his family for good.

Real-Life Inspiration: Harlan Coben got the idea for Run Away after finding drug paraphernalia in his teenage daughter's room. This sparked his imagination, leading him to wonder what he would do if he found his daughter busking in Central Park while struggling with addiction.
Location Switch: While the original novel is set in New York City, the TV series, like many of Harlan Coben's Netflix adaptations, was filmed in Manchester and the northwest of England. Coben said the charm of the north of England is the variety and combination of everyday and eccentric settings.
Coben Regular: James Nesbitt, who plays Simon Greene, is a Harlan Coben drama veteran. Run Away marks his third collaboration with Coben, after Stay Close (2021) and Missing You (2025).
Musical Daughter: The series opens with Simon Greene (James Nesbitt) finding his missing daughter Paige busking in a park. This scene was filmed at Alexandra Park in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
Family Affair: Harlan Coben's daughter, Charlotte Coben, is an associate producer and wrote two episodes of Run Away. She also wrote for Dead Hot and Fool Me Once.
