Prime Video is preparing to unleash a gripping new psychological thriller that promises to captivate audiences from its very first moments. Malice, a six-part series, is generating significant buzz thanks to its impressive, star-studded cast featuring familiar faces from iconic shows like The X-Files and Homeland.
A Luxury Holiday Turns Sinister
Crafted by James Wood, the creative force behind The Great and Rev, the story centres on the wealthy Tanner family as they embark on an opulent holiday in Greece. Their luxurious getaway takes a dark turn when their nanny falls ill. Into the breach steps a new "manny" named Adam, portrayed by Jack Whitehall.
Initially, Adam appears to be the perfect solution—charming, courteous, and seamlessly integrating into the family's life. However, as the series unfolds, it becomes terrifyingly clear that this seemingly flawless caregiver has a much darker, manipulative side. The full series lands on Friday, November 14.
