Sophie
Turner
steps
into
new
territory
with
Steal,
a
Prime
Video
crime
thriller
launching
globally
on
January
21.
The
series
follows
Zara,
a
routine
office
employee
whose
quiet
world
unravels
after
an
unplanned
crime
pulls
Zara
into
danger.
The
show
mixes
tension,
dark
humour,
sharp
emotion
and
friendship
within
a
present-day
setting.
The
role
appeals
to
Sophie
Turner
because
it
breaks
from
earlier
work
and
offers
more
chaos.
“I
think
it
was
the
fact
that
I
hadn’t
really
done
anything
like
this
before,”
she
says.
“I
generally
lean
toward
some
sort
of
period,
and
this
is
very
current.
Zara,
my
character,
is
a
bit
of
a
mess,
and
I
don’t
know
if
I’ve
ever
played
someone
that
doesn’t
have
their
s***
together.
Quite
as
much
as
she
doesn’t,
and
that
was
very
fun
to
explore,
and
it’s
funny
as
well,
and
there’s
like
a
beautiful
friendship
at
the
core
of
the
story,
and
I
think
it’s
just
so
multifaceted,
this
show,
that
it
really,
I
couldn’t
say
no.”
Steal
and
Sophie
Turner
in
a
modern
crime
thriller
Turner
moves
away
from
corsets
and
castles
to
portray
Zara,
a
contemporary
character
without
control.
Zara
is
shown
as
an
everyday
worker,
suddenly
trapped
in
criminal
risk
that
spirals
fast.
The
series
leans
into
emotional
confusion
rather
than
neat
heroism,
while
still
finding
warmth,
humour
and
a
central
friendship
driving
the
narrative.
Steal
is
directed
by
Sam
Miller
and
Hettie
Macdonald,
with
writing
by
Poppy
Cogan
and
Shyam
Popat.
Sophie
Turner
leads
the
ensemble
with
Archie
Madekwe,
Jacob
Fortune-Lloyd,
Ellie
James
and
Tomisin
Ajani,
among
others.

thriller
is

MGM

With
its
crime
plot,

Turner

a
different
style
from
earlier
period
dramas.

team

support
that
shift,
