Killing Eve and Fleabag fans are going to love Domhnall Gleeson and Merritt Wever’s new show.
The comedic romantic thriller Run is set to launch on Sky Comedy and NOW TV on April 15. The eight-episode series is written and produced by Fleabag and Killing Eve’s Vicky Jones.
Run is a romantic comedic thriller about a woman, Ruby Richardson who walks away from her ordinary life in the suburbs to revisit her past with her college boyfriend, Billy Johnson, with whom she made a pact 17 years prior that if either one of them texted the word “run” and the other replied with the same, they would drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station and travel across America together.
Unbelievable’s Merritt Wever plays Ruby, while Star Wars’ Domhnall Gleeson plays Billy. Recurring guest stars for season one include Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG winner, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Laurel, a woman who Ruby and Billy meet on their journey; Rich Sommer as Laurence, Ruby’s husband; Tamara Podemski as police detective Babe Cloud and Archie Panjabi as Fiona, Billy’s former PA.
Executive produced by Vicky Jones, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jenny Robins, Kate Dennis, Emily Leo and Oliver Roskill of Wigwam Films, Run is produced by eOne, the studio behind acclaimed HBO series Sharp Objects.
Executive producers Vicky Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge founded the DryWrite Theatre Company.
In 2013, Jones directed Waller-Bridge’s stage production Fleabag, which was later adapted into an Emmy, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning television series.
Jones also served as a writer on Killing Eve, the Emmy nominated drama series, which was created by Waller-Bridge.
