Sky has released a gripping new trailer for its upcoming drama The Iris Affair, along with a set of brand-new images. The series is a tense and cinematic chase thriller that pits two brilliant minds against each other in a deadly game of hide and seek across Italy, and is confirmed to air on Sky and NOW from 16 October.

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 with 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 to 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.

Starring Niamh Algar (Calm With Horses, The Virtues) and Tom Hollander (The White Lotus, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans), The Iris Affair is a sun-drenched chase thriller created, written and show run by Neil Cross (Luther) and directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and Sarah O'Gorman (A Gentleman in Moscow, The Witcher).

The Iris Affair will launch on Sky and streaming service NOW on 16 October
