Roughly 17 years ago, they made a pact that if one of them texted the word 'RUN' and the other replied with the same, they would both drop everything to go travelling across America.

One day, the fateful message arrives in Ruby's inbox, sparking a daring and spontaneous adventure that starts in Grand Central Station.

Emmy winner Merritt Wever (Unbelievable) has bagged the role of Ruby Richardson, while Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) will star as her travelling partner Billy Johnson.

Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge will appear in one episode of the series as someone that the pair encounter on their journey across America.
