Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, Star Wars) has been cast to star in Run, a romantic comedic thriller pilot from Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and Vicky Jones. In addition to Waller-Bridge executive producing the potential series, she will also have a recurring role in the show.
Written by Jones, Run centers on Ruby, a woman living a humdrum existence, who one day gets a text, inviting her to fulfill a youthful pact promising true love and self-reinvention, by stepping out of her life to take a journey with her oldest flame.
Gleeson will play Billy Johnson, a successful life guru from a wealthy Irish family. Born with the gift of the gab, he deftly combines a boatload of charisma with a boundless need for approval.
