Forest Studio has just released the poster for Running Man Vietnam 2026 - Run Away Now, confirming that the first episode of season four will air at 9 PM on July 24th on HTV7 and the program's online channels.
A notable feature of the new season is the retention of the same lineup from season 3, including Tran Thanh, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Lien Binh Phat, Anh Tu Atas, Quang Tuan, Quang Trung, and Quan AP. Host Le Nhan continues to serve as the connecting figure throughout the program.
Season 2026 is themed "A Vacation No One Gets ." The story begins when seven members of the R Family reunite to celebrate their 101st anniversary. What started as a seemingly relaxing summer vacation turns into a series of challenges, chases, and battles of wits unfolding in various locations.
The program stated that the new season will continue to explore the signature physical games of the Running Man brand, expand the filming locations, and incorporate more experiences related to culture, travel , and outdoor activities. Besides the competitive aspect, the program will maintain moments of interaction between the members.



Prior to its broadcast, Running Man Vietnam 2026 launched an interactive campaign for fans in Ho Chi Minh City. Over three days, 17 LED screens were installed at four locations: Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, Ben Thanh Market, the intersection of Cach Mang Thang Tam and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai streets, and the foot of Ba Son bridge.
A total of 14 randomly distributed characters appeared on the screens. Participants were tasked with collecting these characters to decipher the message for the new season. The organizing team held several offline activities to provide additional clues to help players complete the challenge.
The earlier-than-usual return of season 4 comes after season 3 achieved great success in the game show market. This season marks the return of the franchise after a three-year hiatus. The lineup has undergone significant changes, with Tran Thanh replacing Truong Giang, joining familiar members like Lan Ngoc, Lien Binh Phat, and new faces including Anh Tu Atas, Quang Tuan, Quang Trung, and Quan AP.
Throughout its broadcast, the show repeatedly topped social media discussion charts. Images of Tran Thanh with his nickname "sea cow," Quang Tuan's transformation in the physical challenges, and Anh Tu ATus's increasingly outstanding performances became widely shared topics.
Concluding season 3, Anh Tú ATus emerged victorious after the final name tag ripping challenge against Trấn Thành and Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc. The final episode was adapted into a 161-minute feature film and released in theaters, attracting over 250,000 viewers and generating nearly 40 billion VND in revenue. This is considered a rare milestone for a reality television program in Vietnam.
Season 3 garnered over 2 billion views across platforms and became one of the most anticipated entertainment programs of 2025.
