If you enjoy British dramas and heist thrillers, the new series Steal will satisfy both of your cravings. Like many crime dramas over the past few years, Steal takes a look at the world of crime and modern technology, exploring how they impact how bank robbers steal in an era when you cannot just walk into a bank and fill bags with cash. A six-episode series set to debut on Prime Video, Steal is an intense drama full of action and violence.
Steal is a contemporary, high-octane thriller about the heist of the century and the ordinary office worker, Zara (Sophie Turner), who finds herself at the heart of it. A typical work day at a London pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke (Archie Madekwe) to execute their demands. But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing interests at the centre of this far-reaching crime.
I spoke with two of the stars of Steal about their new series. Archie Madekwe, star of Gran Turismo and Saltburn, discussed playing Luke and how his character evolves throughout the series. Sophie Turner, best known for Game of Thrones and the X-Men films, and soon to be seen as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider series, spoke about Zara and keeping the show’s twists quiet.

Steal premieres January 21st on Prime Video.
