He calls himself our lucky underpants. I wouldnt quite go that far, but its can we find a role for Richard where you wont think oh, its the guy from The Stranger, it has to be something that he disappears into. Big, small, he doesnt care.Armitages second novel The Cut, following on from his thriller debut Geneva, will be published by Faber in August 2025, so perhaps hes been keeping busy at the keyboard instead of in front of the cameras. His name was also not among those announced for the second series of ITV action-thriller Red Eye.Run Away, which is adapted from the 2019 novel of the same name, will mark James Nesbitts third role in a Quay Streets Netflix Harlan Coben series. He first appeared in 2021s Stay Close as a detective sergeant investigating the disappearance of multiple men over several years, and later popped up as an art-loving crime lord in 2025s Missing You.Nesbitt will be joined in Run Away by Gavin & Staceys Ruth Jones, Good Will Huntings Minnie Driver, Gangs of Londons Lucian Msamati, Big Boyss Jon Pointing, Wolf Halls Ellie de Lange, Friday Night Dinners Tracy-Ann Oberman, Ted Lassos Annette Badland, Doctor Whos Ingrid Oliver, The Couple Next Doors Alfred Enoch, and more.The new series is filming now in and around Manchester and the North West. In excellent news for fans of these twist-filled, ludicrous yet addictive thrillers, the episode count for Run Away has gone back up to the usual eight, instead of the mere five they had for Missing You, which resulted in a rushed series with underdeveloped supporting roles.As usual, the action will be translated from the US to the UK, and though no official release date has been announced, we can expect this one to land on Netflix on January 1, 2026 in its traditional New Years Day binge slot.
