“Run”
Emmy Award winner Merrit Wever plays Ruby, who decides to escape her life in the suburbs and reconnects with her old college flame, Billy, played by Domhnall Gleeson, with whom she made a pact 17 years ago.
They swore to each other that if one of them texted the word “RUN” and the other replied the same, they would drop everything and meet in the Grand Central Station and travel across America together. Other cast members include “MadMan’s” Rich Sommer, “Coroner’s” Tamara Podemski, and “I Know This Much Is True’s” Archie Panjabi. Get ready for “Run” this April 13 (Monday), 10:30AM.

He is described as a hero to parents and students alike, responsible for turning Roslyn High into one of the state’s top-achieving public schools with his partner Pam (Allison).
