Run is a romantic comedic thriller about a woman, Ruby Richardson who walks away from her ordinary life in the suburbs to revisit her past with her college boyfriend, Billy Johnson, with whom she made a pact 17 years prior that if either one of them texted the word “run” and the other replied with the same, they would drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station and travel across America together.

Recurring guest stars for season one include Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG winner, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Laurel, a woman who Ruby and Billy meet on their journey; Rich Sommer as Laurence, Ruby’s husband; Tamara Podemski as police detective Babe Cloud and Archie Panjabi as Fiona, Billy’s former PA.

Executive producers Vicky Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge founded the DryWrite Theatre Company.
