Acclaimed author Harlan Coben‘s successful partnership with Netflix is set to continue with the upcoming adaptation of his 2019 novel Run Away. Following the massive success of the likes of Missing You and Fool Me Once, the upcoming series has finally received a release date following plenty of speculation, with the expected debut date of January 1, 2026, officially confirmed. New Year’s Day was also the release date for both the aforementioned previous Netflix/Coben projects, with this now becoming somewhat of a tradition.

Not only has the release date been announced, but a host of exciting teaser images have also dropped, available to view below. The images showcase several of the series’ high-profile cast, including the ever-brilliant James Nesbitt, Gavin & Stacey‘s Ruth Jones, the Golden Globe-nominated Minnie Driver, Harry Potter’s Alfred Enoch, and Lucian Msamati. Beyond those pictured below, the cast also includes Jon Pointing, Ellie de Lange, Adrian Greensmith, Ellie Henry, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Annette Badland, Ingrid Oliver, Maeve Courtier-Lilley, Finty Williams, Joe McGann, and Amy Gledhill. A synopsis for the series reads:

“Simon (Nesbitt) had the perfect life: loving wife and kids, great job, beautiful home. But then his eldest daughter Paige ran away and everything fell apart. So now when he finds her, vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home. But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence. In the aftermath, Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his search to find her will take him into a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.”

Set to feature eight episodes in total, Run Away looks like the perfect way to soak up the New Year’s blues with an indulgent binge-watch on January 1. The series will bring more of the indulgent, twisting, and turning that fans of Coben’s novels and series will already be used to. However, it seems that, more than before, this series will be focused on the intricate dynamics of a modern family. Speaking previously about the series, Coben teased, “Run Away is about family — about what we will do to keep our family intact, what secrets we keep within our family, and what secrets we keep as a family. Every time you walk past the house, there’s a whole universe that goes on behind that door and none of us have a clue what it is.”

Run Away releases on January 1, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
