Sky has released first-look images of Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander in The Iris Affair, a sun-drenched chase thriller created by Neil Cross, the mastermind behind the acclaimed Golden Globe Award-winning series Luther.
When enigmatic genius Iris Nixon (Algar) cracks a string of complex online puzzles, she’s led to a piazza in Florence, where she meets charismatic entrepreneur Cameron Beck (Hollander). He invites her to work for him to unlock a powerful and top-secret piece of technology. Her curiosity piqued, she accepts. But when Iris discovers its dangerous potential, she steals the journal containing the device’s activation sequence and vanishes.
What follows is a relentless pursuit, from a remote cabin in Sardinia through the bustling streets of Rome, as Cameron races to find Iris in a high-stakes game where trust is dangerous and failure could be catastrophic.
