Your support makes all the difference.Phoebe Waller-Bridge is set to make her first TV acting appearance since Fleabag, in episode five of the HBO thriller Run.
The actor plays the character of Laurel, a woman who encounters the two main characters, played by Merritt Wever and Domnhall Gleeson.
Run tells the story of two former lovers who both upend their lives and travel across the US to honour a mysterious pact made in college.
As well as playing Laurel, Waller-Bridge also executive produced the series, which is written and directed by Vicky Jones, who directed the original stage production of Fleabag.
In this exclusive clip from the episode, which airs in the UK at 9pm on Sky Comedy on 13 May 2020, Laurel is seen driving the runaway lovebirds and talking to them about roadkill.
Waller-Bridge affects a North American accent for the role – as viewers used to seeing her in Fleabag will no doubt notice.
You can catch up with the first four episodes of Run on Sky and NowTV on demand.
