Harlan Coben has opened up on how he “can’t wait” for viewers to see Ruth Jones in the upcoming Netflix thriller Run Away.
The series, which is based on Coben’s novel of the same name, began filming in various Northern England locations earlier this year, and stars James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones and Minnie Driver in a film about the search for a runaway daughter.
Appearing on Thursday’s (April 10) The One Show, Coben opened up on the filming process, explaining how he’s excited for the public to see the thriller’s emotional scenes.
He said: "Ruth Jones, James Nesbitt and Minnie Driver are our three leads in the show. We’re filming it right now up in the North of England. Dream cast.”
About Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones, he added: “One of the reasons I love her so much is she’s just so instantly likeable, and I wanted you to fall in love with this character right away, and I can’t wait for people to see Ruth in this role.

The author previously teased of the project: “Run Away is about family — about what we will do to keep our family intact, what secrets we keep within our family, and what secrets we keep as a family.
“Every time you walk past the house, there’s a whole universe that goes on behind that door, and none of us have a clue what it is.”
Run Away does not yet have a confirmed release date.
