It’s a sad day for fans of the romantic thriller series Run, as HBO has announced that the show has been cancelled after one season. The series, which starred Merritt Wever and Domhnall Gleeson, was created by Vicky Jones and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Run followed Ruby (Wever) and Billy (Gleeson), two former college sweethearts who reconnect after years apart. They make a pact to drop everything and take a cross-country train trip, where they explore their past and present relationships. Along the way, they discover secrets and lies that threaten to derail their journey.
The show was praised for its unique take on the romantic thriller genre, with critics praising its clever writing and strong performances. Unfortunately, the show didn’t find a large enough audience to justify a second season.
HBO released a statement saying, “We have decided not to proceed with a second season of Run. We are grateful to Vicky Jones, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the talented cast and crew for all their hard work and dedication. We look forward to our next collaboration with Vicky and Phoebe.”
Fans of the show have taken to social media to express their disappointment at the news. Many have praised the show for its unique take on the genre, and are sad to see it go.
It’s a shame that Run won’t be returning for a second season, but hopefully the show’s creators will find success with their future projects. In the meantime, fans can still enjoy the first season of Run, which is available to stream on HBO.
