Runaway

  • Watchlist
  • Watchlist

The Raders look like a normal middle-class American family, with a dad, Paul Rader, his lovely wife Lily, teenagers Henry and Hannah and 8-year-old Tommy. Those are their real names, but as they struggle to blend into a new life in Bridgewater, Iowa, they are all using secret identities. This family is on the run, hiding from the legal system that unjustly convicted Paul Rader of a terrible and violent crime. Adding to the danger, the real killer is now threatening the lives of the Rader children. As Paul works to protect his loved ones and uncover the evidence that will clear him, he lives with the daily fear that someone will accidentally reveal the family's dark secret.

Paul Rader, a successful attorney in Potomac, Maryland, finds his law firm employee Erin Baxter murdered. As he is set up, he breaks bail and uproots his family to Bridgewater, Iowa, posing as the non-existent Holland family. It's hard enough to lay false trails for Agent Raj Rao's US Marshalls team. Neither wife Lily nor kid son Michael 'Mikey' is good at keeping their cover. Firstborn Henry refuses to have his entire life ruined and abandon girl-friend Kylie for a previously absent father, whose innocence isn't obvious to him. Daughter Hannah soon takes to the part because of neighbor Bob Sullivan's equally friendly and hunky son Brady in her new class.

The Playboy Club Boss on the Difference Between Bunnies and Playmates

The main thing that Chad Hodge wants you to know about his upcoming NBC series The Playboy Club is that it's not about the centerfolds. When Hodge, who last created The CW drama Runaway, was first approached by the studio to do a show about Hugh Hefner's famous Playboy Bunnies, his reaction was, "Is this going to be a scripted version of The Girls Next Door? No, thank you." But that was before he knew about the rather significant difference between Bunnies and the Playmates. Hef's Bunnies...

A Runaway Joins the New 90210

The new Rob Thomas-penned Beverly Hills, 90210 redux is warming up, with casting news starting to trickle out.Former Runaway Dustin Milligan is the first actor to have been cast in the updated version of the show, says the Reporter. He's set to play Ethan, the big-man-on-campus star athlete at West Beverly High. Along with his TV work, Milligan also appeared in recent movies including creep-fest The Messengers and love-fest In the Land of Women. Without more cast announcements, it's tough to visualize his dynamic with the other as-yet-unnamed kids at West Beverly, but the floppy-haired Canadian's a good start for the spin-off.

CW Stops Runaway in Its Tracks

The fledgling CW network has given the hook to its first show, Donnie Wahlberg and Leslie Hope's Runaway, which struggled out of the gate and only averaged 1.8 million total viewers, even in a new Sunday time slot. For the time being, says Reuters, CW will fill the Sunday 9 pm slot with repeats. Everwood died for this? No, really.
