Prime Video’s crime lineup is crowded with loud, macho franchises like Reacher and Cross, and even recent popular newcomers like Scarpetta and Young Sherlock, which makes one particular show’s rise more interesting. It’s a darker, tighter British heist thriller that’s spreading by word of mouth. Not to mention, Sophie Turner’s post-Game of Thrones pull is a big part of the hook, but the real binge engine is the premise.
The show follows an everyday finance workplace that turns into a hostage-driven operation that drains billions in pension money, then flips into a paranoia spiral about who inside helped make it possible. It’s built to make you question motives scene by scene. That particular premise seems to be sticking well. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a 79% score from critics and 66% from audiences. And on Prime Video’s Top 10s, instead of spiking and vanishing, like a temporary hit, the show seems to be holding. It’s #5 in Belgium across multiple days in the last week, #9 in Canada and #9 in France, #7 in the UK, #7 in Ireland, #6 in Nigeria, and #8 in Egypt, with long runs parked around #7–#10 in several territories.
The title is Steal, and it’s a six-episode series, short enough to be a side-binge, structured enough to feel like a complete thriller meal. Prime Video’s own synopsis frames it as “the heist of the century” centered on Zara (Turner) after armed thieves force staff to execute the theft, while detective Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) races to identify who engineered it and why.
Sophie Turner Has Only Done Roughly 16 Projects Ever Since 'Game of Thrones' Ended





Since Game of Thrones ended in 2019, Sophie Turner’s post-Sansa career has been active but unevenly visible, and roughly 16 projects can sound bigger than it plays because many aren’t lead vehicles. The lead/centerpiece roles are real: she’s the clear #1 in Joan, the lead in the survival thriller Trust, and top-billed as Zara in Prime Video’s Steal. She was even in X-Men films, but this was before or during when Game of Thrones was trending. However, several other credits in the post-Game of Thrones era are either supporting, cameo, or voice work — e.g., The Staircase is an ensemble miniseries where she’s not the central driver, Do Revenge is a supporting part, and The Prince is voice work, which is what makes her leading performance in Steal so special
Steal is currently trending on Prime Video in dozens of countries. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
'Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner Faces the Heist of the Century in New Thriller Series Trailer
Sophie Turner is an ordinary office worker caught up in the crime of the century in the new trailer for Steal. The Prime Video TV series will deal with the aftermath of a devastating heist, as an ordinary woman gets entangled with both the thieves and British intelligence. All six episodes of Steal will premiere on Prime Video on January 21, 2026.
As the trailer opens, office drone Zara (Turner) is working for Lochmill Capital, a pension fund investment company in the heart of London; the only thing dangerous about the job is that she might get bored to death. That all changes when a coterie of armed robbers burst in; disguised in high-tech prosthetics to cloak their true identities, they demand that Zara and best pal Luke (Archie Madekwe) transfer four million pounds into their account. Despite their objections over stealing millions from innocent people, they comply. As the thieves get away, Zara and Luke's troubles are only beginning. DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), a cop with a gambling problem, is nosing around Zara's life, the thieves are still on the loose, and MI5, Britain's national intelligence service, is entangled with the whole mess. Zara and Luke had better get to the bottom of this quickly, or they'll end up taking the fall...
