Prime Video's Steal Cast: A Star-Studded Ensemble for New Crime Thriller
Prime Video has unleashed a gripping new crime drama that is rapidly capturing viewers' attention. Steal, which premiered on Wednesday, 21st January, has quickly established itself as one of the streaming platform's standout hits this month. This six-episode thriller, created by Sotiris Nikitas, follows an ordinary office worker who becomes dangerously entangled in a high-stakes heist plot.
Sophie Turner Takes Centre Stage
The series is anchored by Sophie Turner in the lead role of Zara, a pension fund investment firm employee whose routine day takes a dramatic turn when she and her closest friend are forced to comply with the demands of a ruthless criminal gang. Turner brings considerable star power to the production, having achieved global fame as Sansa Stark in HBO's monumental fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Beyond her iconic role in Westeros, Turner has demonstrated impressive range across various projects. She has portrayed Jean Grey in the X-Men film series and appeared in recent productions including Do Revenge and Trust. The actress is also set to take on another iconic character, having been cast as Lara Croft in Prime Video's forthcoming Tomb Raider series adaptation.
Supporting Cast Brings Impressive Credentials
Joining Turner is Archie Madekwe as Luke, Zara's closest friend who becomes equally ensnared in the dangerous situation. Audiences will likely recognise Madekwe from his standout performance in Emerald Fennell's psychological thriller Saltburn, while he has also appeared in Gran Turismo, Midsommar, and Apple TV's drama series See.
Jacob Fortune-Lloyd completes the central trio as DCI Rhys Covaci, the determined detective spearheading the investigation into the complex heist. Fortune-Lloyd brings considerable dramatic heft to the role, having established himself through acclaimed television performances in historical dramas including Wolf Hall, The Queen's Gambit, and The Great.
