Netflix has released first images of Run Away, a brand-new limited series filmed around Greater Manchester.
The drama will be another Harlan Coben novel adapted for the small screen, with Netflix once again using our region as a filming location.
In the sneak peeks alone, we can see hit Northern Quarter cafe Evelyn’s has been used for scenes with two of the show’s stars.
Run Away will star James Nesbitt, as well as Gavin & Stacey’s Ruth Jones, acting legend Minnie Driver, and Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch.
The series follows the successful release of limited thriller series Missing You.
Run Away will follow Simon (Nesbitt) as his perfect life falls apart when his eldest daughter Paige runs away.
When Simon finds his little girl, strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has a chance to bring her home – but an argument escalates into shocking violence.
It’s a twisty tale of a dangerous underworld that could tear this family apart forever.
Once again, Netflix has relocated the Harlan Coben novel to the UK, filming around Manchester and the North West.
