“But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence,” a plot synopsis reads. “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.”
Following on from Coben’s previous adaptations Fool Me Once and Missing You , Run Away will move the story from the US to the UK, with filming set to begin this month in Manchester and the North West of England.
In addition to Jones (pictured second from left), who plays Elena Ravenscroft, Driver (pictured second from right) as Ingrid Greene and Enoch (pictured right) as Isaac Fagbenle, Run Away also stars Lucian Msamati, Jon Pointing, Ellie de Lange, Adrian Greensmith, Ellie Henry, Anna Greene, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Annette Badland, Ingrid Oliver, Maeve Courtier-Lilley, Finty Williams, Joe McGann and Amy Gledhill.
Run Away is adapted from the novel by Coben, who will serve as executive producer through his company, Final Twist Productions. Coben said of the cast announcement: “Jimmy Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, Alfred Enoch, Lucian Msamati and Minnie Driver — the cast is an embarrassment of riches. I can’t wait to start filming.”
