Netflix will continue to invest in the works of Harlan Coben, author of Fool Me Once, with another adaptation in the works at the streaming service Run Away. Details are minimal, but we’ll preview the series and update everyone on cast news, production updates, first-look images, trailers, and the Netflix release date.
Run Away is an upcoming Netflix Original limited crime-drama series and adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel. The adaptation continues Coben’s long and illustrious creative partnership with Netflix, who have already adapted eight novels from his bibliography into Netflix Originals.
A director has yet to be confirmed for the upcoming adaptation. Daniel Brocklehurst has been credited as the lead writer of the series.

Over the years, Netflix has seen plenty of success from adapting Harlan Coben’s work. The most recent of which, Fool Me Once, has blown the top 10 statistics out of the water, with 61 million Netflix views in its first two weeks. Thanks to Fool Me Once’s success, we’re receiving an adaptation of Run Away and Coben’s other upcoming crime drama, Missing You. Run Away will be the tenth adaptation of Coben’s work on Netflix.
Daniel Brocklehurst (Brassic), Richard Fee (Prey), and Nicola Shindler (It’s a Sin) are the series’ executive producers. Quay Street Productions will lead the series production. Harlan Coben is also an executive producer through his company, Final Twist Productions.
