Run is an original four-part drama which weaves together the stories of four seemingly unconnected people who are facing life-changing decisions in a world where there is little choice and survival is never a given.
Multi award-winning actress Olivia Colman (Rev, Tyrannosaur, Peep Show)
and Katie Leung (Harry Potter, Wild Swans) head the cast of Channel 4's
latest contemporary drama serial, filmed in and around London. “Channel 4 has a proud history of developing new
drama talent both on and off screen and we are delighted to be
continuing in that tradition with Run, a beautifully authored and
original series about a strand of British life rarely seen on our
screens" says Sophie Gardiner, Commissioning Editor.

him.

Kasia (Katharina Schüttler - The Promise) is a young Polish woman who came to London filled with hope. Years later she is still working as a cleaner, struggling to make ends meet and contending with a gambling addict for a boyfriend. Her world is rocked when she discovers that he has been killed in a vicious attack. Even worse, she unearths his secret relationship with another woman, Tara (Jaime Winstone - True Love), a night-club stripper. Left alone to clean up the mess, Kasia finds herself in grave danger.
Raw and uncompromising, but full of humanity and hope, Run is a powerful take on inner city life and how every choice we make has consequences for those around us.
