Prime Video is expanding its original series lineup with Steal, a new six-episode heist drama headlined by Sophie Turner. The show is set to debut soon on the streaming platform. It centers on the aftermath of a large-scale heist, exploring the far-reaching consequences of the crime.
Sophie Turner-led heist series to stream this month
Prime Video is set to release its latest original drama, Steal, later this month. The six-part series scheduled to premiere on January 21. Led by Sophie Turner, the contemporary thriller offers a fresh take on the heist genre (via ScreenRant).
In Steal, Turner plays Zara, a low-profile employee at a pension fund investment firm. Her working day spirals into chaos after a coordinated robbery takes place inside her office. The incident results in the disappearance of billions of pounds belonging to pension holders. As authorities investigate the crime, it places Zara and her colleague Luke, played by Archie Madekwe, under intense scrutiny.
The story largely unfolds after the robbery, tracking the investigation into the financial crime and its consequences. The investigation is led by DCI Rhys, portrayed by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, who is tasked with uncovering how the crime unfolded and identifying those responsible. According to the official synopsis, Rhys faces intense pressure as he balances the demands of the case with his own personal struggles.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Turner explained that the show shifts away from traditional heist story. “It’s nice to see the fallout from it and the real effects it has on real lives, and not just the people whose pensions were stolen but also the people involved in the heist and the people adjacent to the people involved in the heist and what that does to families, friends, everyone. I think it’s a really wonderful study of that kind of butterfly effect.”
Steal was created by S.A. Nikias, with all six episodes directed by Sam Miller and Hettie Macdonald.
