Your first look at Harlan Coben’s latest Netflix thriller has arrived, and it promises to unravel the dark secrets lurking behind closed doors. RUN AWAY launches January 1, 2026, continuing Coben’s tradition of kicking off the new year with edge-of-your-seat mysteries, following in the footsteps of MISSING YOU and FOOL ME ONCE. James Nesbitt, fresh from his starring role in MISSING YOU, returns to Coben’s twisted universe as Simon, a man whose seemingly perfect existence shatters when his eldest daughter Paige vanishes into the darkness.
What makes a family? What secrets do we bury to protect the people we love, and what lies do we tell ourselves to keep everything from falling apart? These are the questions at the heart of RUN AWAY, an eight-episode limited series adapted from Coben’s 2019 novel. Coben himself frames it perfectly: every time you walk past a house, there’s an entire universe unfolding behind that door, and none of us have the slightest clue what’s really happening inside. Simon thought he had it all—the loving wife, the beautiful children, the career, the picture-perfect home. Then Paige ran away, and his carefully constructed world collapsed like a house of cards.
When Simon finally finds his daughter vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, it feels like a second chance, an opportunity to bring his little girl home and piece their shattered family back together. But Paige isn’t alone, and what begins as a desperate attempt at rescue explodes into shocking violence that changes everything. In the aftermath, Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his desperate search to find her will drag him into a dangerous underworld he never knew existed. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers—untold violence, buried truths, and revelations that threaten to blow his family apart for good.
Nesbitt leads an impressive ensemble cast including Ruth Jones, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, and Lucian Msamati, all of whom appear in the newly released images that tease the thriller’s dark atmosphere and emotional intensity. The series promises to deliver everything fans have come to expect from Coben’s Netflix adaptations: twists that leave you reeling, family dynamics that feel uncomfortably real, and the creeping realization that the people closest to us might be the ones we know the least. This mystery is only just beginning, and when it arrives on New Year’s Day 2026, prepare to question everything you think you know about the secrets families keep.
