In a captivating evolution of her already impressive career, Niamh Algar takes center stage in Sky’s new Italian-set thriller, THE IRIS AFFAIR.
Following her acclaimed performances in projects like CALM WITH HORSES and RAISED BY WOLVES, Algar now embodies Iris Nixon, a complex genius whose life transforms from mundane to extraordinary in this “unapologetically exciting” adventure created by Luther mastermind Neil Cross. The eight-part series, currently filming in Sardinia, showcases Algar’s remarkable versatility as she portrays a character Cross describes as unlike any we’ve seen before on television. By day, Algar’s Iris flags harmful content for a social media platform, but her nights are spent navigating internet forums and solving intricate puzzles. When her exceptional intelligence leads her to crack a string of complex online riddles, she finds herself in Florence, face-to-face with charismatic entrepreneur Cameron Beck, played by Tom Hollander. Beck recruits her to unlock powerful technology, but upon discovering its dangerous potential, Iris steals crucial information and vanishes.
Reinventing herself as Ms. Brooks, a tutor to a wealthy family’s daughter on the Sardinian coast, Algar’s character becomes the focus of a high-stakes pursuit spanning from remote Sardinian cabins to Rome’s bustling streets. This performance marks another significant milestone in Algar’s rising trajectory, as she continues to select challenging, nuanced roles that showcase her exceptional talent. With Terry McDonough’s direction complementing Algar and Hollander’s dynamic performances, this “sun-drenched chase thriller” promises to deliver the perfect escapist viewing experience when it arrives on Sky and NOW streaming service later this year.
The burning question that will drive viewers through this Mediterranean adventure: can Iris decipher what the mysterious code could unleash before she’s found?
