Steal

'Game of Thrones' Star's New Prime Video Crime Thriller Is an Instant Streaming Hit

Prime Video and Sophie Turner are becoming quite the pair. Less than a week after the streamer delivered a first look at the Game of Thrones and X-Men star's take on Lara Croft for the upcoming Tomb Raider series, her latest project, the heist thriller Steal, debuted on the platform. A six-episode miniseries created by S.A. Nikias, co-starring Turner and Archie Madekwe, and executive produced by Greg Brenman (Peaky Blinders) and Rebecca de Souza (The Confessions of Frannie Langton), Steal has already captured plenty of attention from subscribers, no doubt thanks to the intrigue building around Turner's Lara Croft.

At the time of writing, Steal is the fourth most-streamed title on Prime Video in the U.S. Although this suggests a promising debut with a large viewership, perhaps there will be slight disappointment that a pulse-racing trailer and Turner's star power couldn't help the show debut higher in the charts. Although it was expected to lose out to the all-conquering Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell-led Fallout Season 2, many wouldn't have seen Steal losing to the second-placed Beast Games and third-placed The Night Manager Season 2. Nevertheless, this immediate jump into the top five will help boost eyes to the show, which in turn will guide even more attention towards Prime Video's new Tomb Raider series. A logline for Steal reads:

"An ordinary office worker, Zara, finds herself at the heart of a heist; a typical work day at a pension fund investment company is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke to execute their demands."

Is 'Steal' Worth Watching?

It may have split some critics and earned a 68% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, albeit from less than 20 reviews submitted, but Steal is a solid thriller with plenty of twists and turns that you won't regret watching. In Therese Lacson's review of the series for Collider, she dubbed it an "imperfect but addictive binge-watch," adding, "as far as crime thrillers go, Steal is an easy and addictive binge, keeping the viewer on their toes while Zara tries to uncover the truth. It's far from a masterpiece, but it's still satisfying enough for crime thriller lovers."

Sophie Turner's new heist thriller miniseries Steal has immediately jumped into the Prime Video streaming charts. For all the latest streaming stories, make sure to stay tuned to Collider.

'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...
