Trailer For Sky Comedy Series Run Released
Run, written and produced by Vicky Jones (Killing Eve, Fleabag), starts on Wednesday 15th April on Sky Comedy and NOW TV.
The two-minute trailer released today features funny moments and intrigue from the upcoming series from HBO.
Starring Emmy® winner Merritt Wever (Godless, Nurse Jackie)and Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Ex Machina), Run is a romantic comedic thriller about a woman, Ruby Richardson (Wever) who walks away from her ordinary life in the suburbs to revisit her past with her college boyfriend, Billy Johnson (Gleeson), 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.
Coming soon to Sky Comedy and streaming service NOW TV, Run is 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 acclaimed HBO series Sharp Objects.
In 2013, Jones directed Waller-Bridge’s stage production “Fleabag,” which was later adapted into an Emmy®, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning television series. Jones also served as a writer on Killing Eve, the Emmy® nominated drama series, which was created by Waller-Bridge.

Boasting a host of brand-new and acclaimed series, it is a one-stop shop for all the greatest comedy from the other side of the Atlantic, offering more top-quality, binge-worthy laughs than you can shake a remote control at.
