Available on Netflix since January 1, 2026, Ne t’enfuis plus is a gripping American mini-series comprising eight one-hour episodes, created by Danny Brocklehurst. Based on Harlan Coben's novel Run Away, the show continues a longstanding collaboration between the author and the streaming platform — marking the tenth time his work has been adapted for Netflix. Led by James Nesbitt, Minnie Driver, and Ruth Jones, the series blends suspense with family drama, focusing on the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl.
Simon Greene appeared to have crafted the perfect life, balancing career success with a harmonious family life. Everything changes when his eldest daughter, Paige, suddenly runs away from home. Six months later, he unexpectedly crosses her path, weakened and battling drug dependency, in an urban park. Convinced he can bring her back, Simon tries to reconnect, but the encounter quickly spirals into a fierce and dangerous confrontation.
Following this event, Paige vanishes once again, leaving her father in a desperate search to find her. His quest takes him into a dangerous underground world, where smuggling, lies, and buried secrets intertwine. As Simon gets closer to uncovering the truth, the very foundations of his family begin to crack, exposing long-hidden fractures.
The series is produced by Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee, with Harlan Coben himself serving as an executive producer. Written by Danny Brocklehurst in collaboration with Charlotte Coben, the screenplay stays true to the novel’s core while expanding on secondary storylines designed for the episodic format. Filming mainly took place in the UK, primarily in Manchester and Liverpool — locations already familiar to fans from previous adaptations of the author's work.
Building on the success of series like Safe, Fool Me Once, or Disparu à jamais, Ne t’enfuis plus delves into the recurring themes dear to Harlan Coben: family bonds pushed to the edge, parental guilt, and the unpredictable fallout from a buried past. The appearance of James Nesbitt, who has previously stood out in other adaptations of Coben’s work, further cements this series's place within his universe.
The tone adopts a gradual build-up of tension, with suspense rooted in both the investigation and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters. Aimed at adult audiences who enjoy psychological thrillers, the series targets viewers who are drawn to stories where the personal and the criminal intertwine, all portrayed through a realistic and dark visual style.
