Total seasons: 1 (7 episodes)
Creators: Vicky Jones
Cast: Merritt Wever, Domhnall Gleeson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Rich Sommer
Streaming options: HBO Max (US) | Sky UK| Binge (AUS) | Crave (CA)
Run stars Merritt Wever as the unhappily married Ruby Richardson, whose life is turned upside down when she receives a text simply saying ‘RUN’. It’s revealed that, 17 years earlier, she made a playful pact with a college boyfriend: if either of them ever wanted to escape their life, they’d send this text to the other and then meet at Grand Central Station to embark on an epic US road trip.
The series stars Domhnall Gleeson as Billy, the aforementioned college boyfriend, and Rich Sommer as Ruby’s husband Laurence. Phoebe Waller-Bridge also makes an appearance as a woman they encounter on their journey. The series was critically praised for its energetic pace, witty subversion of rom-com clichés, and the stellar performances of Wever and Gleeson.
While HBO Max is the home of Run in the US, you’ll find it on different online platforms depending on where you are in the world. In this article, we explain how to watch Run if you’re in the US, UK, Australia, or Canada.
