Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - Run - Miniseries

Run premiered back on January 1, to kick off the new year on BINGE. Like Dear Life (on Stan) all six episodes streamed on NYD.

Run, tell the story of the extraordinary life of Australia’s most notorious bank robber, Brenden Abbott.

Run is dramatised in this action-packed series about his unprecedented career in crime and chaotic life on the run.   

George Mason (The Power of the Dog, The Survivors) leads the cast as Brenden Abbott, with Robyn Malcolm (After The Party, The Survivors), Ashleigh Cummings (Citadel, Long Bright River, Hounds of Love), & Keiynan Lonsdale (Swift Street, The Flash) starring alongside him. 

Each portrays a pivotal figure in Abbott’s turbulent life and the law enforcement network determined to bring him down. 

Alongside the leads is an all-star Aussie cast, David Howell (Narrow Road to the Deep North, Strife), Mia Artemis (Sweet Tooth, The Secrets She Keeps), Christian Byers (Bump, The Narrow Road to the Deep North), Roxie Mohebbi (He Had It Coming, Critical Incident), Oscar Redding (Top of the Lake, The Twelve), Anthony Hayes (Mystery Road, Gold, The Twelve), Jayden Popik (Mystery Road, A Perfect Pairing) and Lee Tiger Halley (Boy Swallows Universe, Beast of War).

Robyn Malcolm is absolutely brilliant across the six high octane episodes.

True crime is an Aussie addiction. From the mushroom killer to Brenden Abbott, Aussies cannot get enough of their true crime.

With a pumping soundtrack, Run was way better (and more addictive) than I expected.

I smashed through this fairly quickly in-between the returning shows for 2026. If like me you are on the verge of cancelling Binge as the content has dried up since HBO Max launched. Give Run a go before you hit cancel. This was fun, great local production.

Till next time!
