THE IRIS AFFAIR arrives as a tense Sky Original that transforms the Italian landscape into a sprawling battlefield of intellect and survival, where two exceptional minds collide in a chase thriller that refuses to let up. This is Neil Cross territory—the mastermind behind LUTHER returns as writer, creator, and showrunner, bringing his signature psychological intensity to a story that begins with puzzles and ends with everything at stake.
Enigmatic genius Iris Nixon solves what others cannot, cracking a string of complex online puzzles that lead her to a sun-drenched piazza in Florence. There she encounters Cameron Beck, a charismatic entrepreneur whose invitation seems like opportunity incarnate: come work for him, unlock a powerful piece of top-secret technology, change everything. Her curiosity is both her greatest asset and her fatal flaw, and she accepts, drawn into Cameron’s orbit by the promise of something extraordinary. But when Iris discovers the dangerous potential lurking within the device she’s been recruited to activate, she makes a choice that transforms her from collaborator into fugitive. She steals the journal containing the activation sequence and disappears into the Italian countryside.
What follows is a relentless pursuit that sprawls across one of Europe’s most visually stunning countries, shot on location in Sardinia during the summer of 2024. From a remote cabin where silence becomes suffocating to the bustling chaos of Rome’s streets where every face could be enemy or ally, Iris runs while Cameron hunts. This is a high-stakes game where trust is the most dangerous currency of all, where every decision carries weight, and where failure means catastrophe. Cross understands that the best thrillers aren’t just about the chase—they’re about what the chase reveals, the way desperation strips away pretense and forces brilliant people to show who they truly are when everything is on the line. THE IRIS AFFAIR, previously titled IRIS before its evolution, delivers exactly that kind of escalating tension, a cinematic experience that uses Italy not just as backdrop but as character, a country of beauty and shadows where two people play out a deadly game of hide and seek that only one of them can win.

Yesterday at the London Standard Theatre Awards, Gleeson took the night for his performance in THE WEIR—and honestly? there`s no one else who could have done it quite like him.
This is an actor who doesn`t perform. he breathes into the role. he becomes it. soul-deep, nuanced, the kind of characterisation that makes you forget you`re watching acting at all.
