New pictures of James Nesbitt in Harlan Coben's upcoming Netflix adaptation have been released.
Based on the author's 2019 novel, Run Away tells the story of Simon Greene, a distraught father whose life is turned upside down when his daughter Paige runs away from home.
Simon (played by Nesbitt) discovers Paige hooked on drugs in the park and begs her to come back, but he's soon dragged into a dark and dangerous world which could tear his family apart.
The eight-part series began filming in Manchester earlier this year, with a few on-set snaps being shared for eager fans.
Now, new action-packed images have emerged of Nesbitt in the lead role, as he desperately fights to rescue his daughter.

One picture sees the character in a grey suit, pleading with Paige (played by Ellie de Lange) while gripping her arm. The second image shows Simon punching a young man, with someone filming the incident in the background.

Since its release, the novel has received rave reviews from multiple outlets, with Heat calling it "a twisty thriller that'll keep you up way past any sensible lights out time".
"The plot is stuffed with spicy, sharply observed characters and snappy exchanges," wrote The Sunday Times. "The king of twisty thrillers returns. This is worth turning off your phone for!" added Closer.
Speaking previously about the adaptation, which has been written by Danny Brocklehurst, Coben explained: "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 is set to be released on Netflix, with a confirmed date yet to be announced.
