Sky TV has dropped the intense teaser trailer for its upcoming chase thriller series, The Iris Affair — a gripping, globe-trotting drama created by Neil Cross (Luther), with writing by Susan E. Connolly and Ian Scott McCullough. The series stars Niamh Algar as the elusive genius Iris Nixon, whose theft of a powerful secret code sets off a lethal pursuit across some of Italy’s most iconic landscapes.
In the teaser, we catch glimpses of winding Roman alleys, sun-soaked Sardinian cliffs, and the cold, calculating tension between cat and mouse. Tom Hollander co-stars as Cameron Beck, a seductive tech philanthropist whose charm masks dangerous ambition. When Iris uncovers the devastating potential behind the tech he’s building, she flees with the activation key—a journal coded with hidden sequences—triggering a cinematic chase where every step could be her last.
Rounding out the cast are Kristofer Hivju, Harry Lloyd, Meréana Tomlinson, Sacha Dhawan, Debi Mazar, Marco Leonardi, Peter Sullivan, Lorenzo De Moor, and Maya Sansa, each adding layers of tension and mystery to the spiraling pursuit.
Described as Jason Bourne meets The Imitation Game, The Iris Affair promises a uniquely intellectual thriller—where the mind is the deadliest weapon, and every puzzle solved reveals a deeper conspiracy. Directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad) and Sarah O’Gorman (The Witcher), the series combines psychological suspense with high-stakes espionage, wrapped in the atmospheric beauty of Italy.
With a teaser that blends sleek visuals, razor-sharp dialogue, and a pulse-pounding premise, The Iris Affair looks set to become Sky TV’s next must-watch obsession. The official release date is still under wraps—but anticipation is already building.
