Sky today reveals first-look images of Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander in The Iris Affair (previously Iris), a sun-drenched chase thriller written, created and showrun by Neil Cross, the mastermind behind the acclaimed Golden Globe Award-winning series Luther. Starring Algar (Mary & George, The Virtues) as Iris Nixon and Emmy-nominated Hollander (The White Lotus, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) as Cameron Beck, the eight-part series is directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and Sarah O'Gorman (A Gentleman in Moscow, The Witcher).

The Iris Affair 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.

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 come and 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.

The cast also includes Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones, Force Majeure), Harry Lloyd (Arcane, Marcella), Mer ana Tomlinson (The Trials), Sacha Dhawan (The Great, Doctor Who), Maya Sansa (Good Morning, Night, Dormant Beauty), Peter Sullivan (Poldark, The Borgias), Debi Mazar (Younger, Entourage), Marco Leonardi (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, Anime Nere), Angela Bruce (Silver Haze, Doctor Who) and Lorenzo De Moor (A Simple Favor 2, Dolce Fine Giornata).

The Iris Affair is a Sky Studios and Fremantle co-production. Wildside, a Fremantle company, provided production services in Italy. The series is directed by Terry McDonough and Sarah O'Gorman, and the Series Executive Producer is Tim Bricknell (The Power, Taboo). Susan E. Connolly and Ian Scott McCullough are writing episodes. Executive Producers are Adrian Sturges for Sky Studios; Neil Cross and Terry McDonough; and Jenni Sherwood and Dante Di Loreto for Fremantle.

The Iris Affair will be available later this year on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Fremantle is handling international sales of the series.
