Ruth ozark death

Ruth Jones is set to star in a new Netflix thriller from Harlan Coben following the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey.

The actress, 58, who reprised her role as Nessa Jenkins for the Christmas special, will next work on the upcoming limited series, Run Away.

Filming will kick off later this month in Manchester, with Ruth joining James Nesbitt, Minnie Driver, Alfred Enoch, and Lucian Msamati.

The eight episode instalment, based on the bestselling book, follows Simon (played by James) as he searches for his daughter Paige (Ellie de Lange).

Ruth will star as private investigator Elena Ravenscroft who is looking for a missing young man.

Harlan told Netflix's Tudum: 'Run Away is about family - about what we will do to keep our family intact, what secrets we keep within our family, and what secrets we keep as a family.'
