Sophie Turner is trading Westeros for corporate espionage in Prime Video’s upcoming thriller series Steal, and the newly released trailer promises a high-stakes heist that’ll keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The Game of Thrones alum stars as Zara, an ordinary office worker whose mundane day takes a deadly turn when armed thieves storm her workplace.
What starts as just another boring Tuesday at a pension fund investment company quickly spirals into what’s being called “the heist of the century.”
All six episodes drop exclusively on Prime Video January 21.
From Boredom to Billions: The Heist Setup
The trailer opens with Turner’s Zara strolling into Lochmill Capital like it’s any other day, sharing workplace banter with her best friend Luke, played by Saltburn star Archie Madekwe.
The trick of the job is to not —
Zara begins, before Luke finishes her thought:
— not to die of boredom.
That monotony shatters within seconds when a gang of violent criminals crashes through their office doors, transforming their workplace into a pressure cooker of terror and forced compliance.
The thieves’ demands? Execute a billion-pound pension heist—stealing retirement funds from ordinary people.
Who Steals From Pensioners and Why?
According to Prime Video’s official logline, Steal digs deeper than your typical heist thriller.
The series poses a disturbing question: who would orchestrate a robbery targeting billions in pension funds, and what could possibly motivate such a crime?
Enter DCI Rhys, portrayed by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Netflix’s Bodies). He’s determined to unravel this complex criminal conspiracy, but there’s a catch—Rhys is battling his own demons as a recently relapsed gambling addict.
His personal money problems threaten to compromise his investigation just as he’s navigating the secret agendas and competing interests swirling around this far-reaching crime.
Sophie Turner’s Post-Westeros Career Heats Up
Turner continues her evolution beyond Sansa Stark with increasingly complex roles that showcase her dramatic range.
Fresh off her starring turn in the 2025 thriller Trust and last year’s miniseries Joan, the Emmy-nominated actress appears perfectly cast as an everyday woman thrust into extraordinary criminal circumstances.
Steal marks another departure from fantasy into grounded, character-driven thriller territory—a genre transition Turner has embraced with increasing confidence.
The Talent Behind the Heist
Beyond its impressive cast, Steal boasts serious creative credentials:
- Creator and Writer: Sotiris Nikias
- Directors: Sam Miller and Hettie MacDonald
- Executive Producers: Greg Brenman and Rebecca de Souza
- Producer: Nuala O’Leary
- Production Companies: Amazon MGM Studios and Drama Republic
Archie Madekwe brings fresh momentum from his breakout role in Emerald Fennell’s provocative Saltburn, while Jacob Fortune-Lloyd adds gravitas following his work on Netflix’s time-bending crime drama Bodies.
Six Episodes of Taut Suspense
Unlike traditional weekly release schedules, Prime Video is dropping all six episodes simultaneously on January 21, allowing viewers to binge the entire thriller in one sitting.
This release strategy suggests confidence in the series’ addictive quality—once you start watching Zara and Luke navigate this impossible situation, you won’t want to stop.
The limited series format also promises a complete, self-contained story without the uncertainty of cliffhangers waiting for renewal announcements.
A Timely Crime Drama
Steal taps into anxieties that resonate deeply in today’s economic climate—the vulnerability of retirement savings and the precariousness of financial security for ordinary workers.
By centering a heist around pension funds rather than banks or casinos, the series explores territory that feels uncomfortably relevant. These aren’t abstract millions disappearing from vaults; they’re real people’s futures being stolen.
The trailer’s glimpses of Zara’s moral conflict—forced to participate in stealing from people just like her—suggest Steal will examine not just the mechanics of the crime, but the psychological toll on those caught in its execution.
As Turner navigates this pressure-cooker scenario alongside Madekwe’s Luke, viewers will likely find themselves asking the same question DCI Rhys pursues: who really orchestrated this, and what secrets lie beneath the surface?
Mark your calendars for January 21 when Steal arrives exclusively on Prime Video—because based on this trailer, Turner’s latest role might just steal the show.
