Run Away has almost landed on Netflix and boasts an exciting and familiar cast.

Netflix has been releasing Harlan Coben dramas for several years now from The Stranger and Fool Me Once to this year's 2025 Missing You and now another is on the horizon.

Based on his 2019 novel of the same name, Run Away follows a desperate father as he tries to find his missing drug addict daughter after she leaves home and cuts ties.

As expected with any Harlan Coben drama, Run Away is filled to the brim with recognisable talent so here's a full rundown of its cast.

Simon had the perfect family life until his daughter Paige (played by Ellie de Lange) ran away from home.

Six months later, he finally manages to track her down but this discovery is the catalyst for a string of other traumatic events.

Actor James Nesbitt rose to fame as Adam Williams in the comedy-drama Cold Feet but is more recently better known for starring in The Hobbit franchise as Bofur and BBC drama Bloodlands as DCI Tom Brannick.

He has also featured in fellow Harlan Coben dramas Stay Close and Missing You.

Actress Ruth Jones is renowned for portraying the mysterious yet lovable Nessa Jenkins in Gavin and Stacey.

Some of her other biggest roles have been in Stella, Hattie, Fat Friends, Little Britain and Nighty Night.

Jones plays private investigator Elena Ravenscroft in Run Away who gets involved as she is looking into another case involving a young person running away from home.

Detective Isaac Fagbenle is at the heart of an investigation which sees Simon become its main suspect.

Actor Alfred Enoch is best recognised for playing Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter franchise as well as Wes Gibbins in the legal thriller How To Get Away With Murder.

Actress Ellie de Lange has been in numerous high profile dramas including Wolf Hall, The Serpent, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Arcadia.

Lange is behind Ellie, Simon's daughter who runs off and when she is found, Ellie is not only homeless but a drug addict.

While Ellie and her boyfriend were briefly staying in a derelict flat, Cornelius was their neighbour who she befriended.

He becomes key in helping Simon track down his daughter but can Cornelius really be trusted?

Actor Lucian Msamati is remembered for playing Salladhor Saan in HBO's Game of Thrones, David Runihura in Black Earth Rising and Ed Dumani in Sky's Gangs of London.

Actress Tracy-Ann Oberman is best recognised for starring as the feisty Chrissie Watts in EastEnders, as well as Auntie Val in the hit comedy Friday Night Dinner.

In Run Away, Oberman is behind Simon's no nonsense lawyer Jessica Kinberg who does whatever she can to get him out of trouble when things start going wrong.

Ingrid is Simon's wife who is fearful for her daughter's life and will stop at nothing to get her back safe and sound.

She is brought to life by actress Minnie Driver, best known for playing Skylar in Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams.

Driver has also been in The Riches, Speechless, The Serpent Queen, The Borderline and, most recently, the fifth season of Netflix's Emily in Paris as Princess Jane.

Other cast members include:

Lou - Annette Badland

Ash - Jon Pointing

Dee Dee - Maeve Courtier-Lilley

Yvonne - Ingrid Oliver

Wiley Corval - Joe McGann

Run Away premieres on New Year's Day, Thursday, January 1, on Netflix.
