Last Updated on July 30, 2021

HBO has released a new trailer for Run, a comedy-thriller series starring Merritt Wever (The Walking Dead) and Domhnall Gleeson (STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER). The new series follows Ruby Richardson (Wever) as she walks away from her ordinary life in the suburbs to revisit her past with her college boyfriend, Billy Johnson (Gleeson). The two had made a pact with each other 17 years years ago that if either of them texted the word "RUN" and the other replied with the same, they would immediately leave everything behind and meet at Grand Central Station to travel across America together. Created by Vicky Jones (Fleabag), Run also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Laurel, a woman who Ruby and Billy meet along their journey.

The official synopsis for Run:

Created, written and executive produced by Vicky Jones, HBO’s new half-hour comedy series RUN follows a woman whose humdrum life is thrown upside down when she receives a text from her college sweetheart inviting her to drop everything and meet him in New York to fulfill the pact they made 17 years earlier. 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 the acclaimed HBO limited series Sharp Objects.
