Then You Run - a new sky original series will be released on Sky Max and NOW TV in the UK, and on Sky Germany on the 7th of July.
The series is based on the book YOU by Zoran Drvenkar and adapted by Ben Chanan into an eight episode thriller series with lots of dark humour.
Then You Run follows a close-knit group of rebellious London teenagers on a getaway in Rotterdam - but after the estranged father of Tara (Leah McNamara) is discovered dead, they find themselves on the run across Europe with three kilos of heroin and a host of deadly criminals snapping at their heels. Leading the hunt against Tara and her childhood friends - reckless Stink (Vivian Oparah) sharp Ruth (Yasmin Monet Prince) and loyal Nessi (Isidora Fairhurst) - is Tara's uncle Reagan (Richard Coyle) a notorious gangster haunted by his past who will stop at nothing to track down his missing cache of drugs. But Reagan isn't the only person they should fear - because all the while a terrifying and mythical serial killer known only as 'The Traveller' draws closer on a collision course with them all.
