If you’re looking for a series that keeps you on edge and guessing at every turn, Netflix’s latest mystery drama Run Away might be your next binge‑watch obsession. Now streaming, the eight-episode limited series is the latest adaptation from bestselling thriller author Harlan Coben.
Run Away premiered on January 1, 2026, making it one of Netflix’s first big releases of the year. It follows Simon Greene (James Nesbitt), a man whose seemingly perfect life unravels when his eldest daughter, Paige (Ellie de Lange), runs away, and everything he thought he knew about his family begins to fall apart.
What starts as a desperate attempt to bring Paige home quickly spirals into something darker. Simon’s search draws him into a dangerous underworld filled with secrets, violence, and moral compromise.
Alongside Nesbitt and de Lange, the series stars Ruth Jones as private investigator Elena Ravenscroft, Minnie Driver as Simon’s wife Ingrid, Alfred Enoch as Isaac Fagbenle, and Lucian Msamati as Cornelius Faber.
Run Away mixes emotional family drama with gripping plot twists and sharp character moments. The mystery intensifies quickly as you discover that nothing is quite what it seems, and every character might be hiding something.
