hile the festive period hasn’t really even begun, the sudden drop in temperature already has us dreading the coming winter months and as the nights are drawing in, we’re on the lookout for binge-worthy shows that will keep us glued to the sofa with a hot mug of hot chocolate and a thick blanket.

Luckily, Prime Video recently announced that its new high-octane heist thriller, Steal, is arriving in early 2026 – just in time for when the January blues start to set in. Sophie Turner stars in the six-part series, which is described as a “propulsive” and “smart” thriller, as an ordinary office worker who finds herself at the centre of the heist of the century.

As a big thriller fan, I’ve marked my calendar for the release of Steal, which sounds like a nail-biting watch – and exactly what I’ll need after the cosy comfort of festive TV specials and Christmas rom-coms I’ve watched a million times before. Keep reading to find out all you need to know about Steal.

What is Steal about?

The story follows an ordinary office worker, Zara, who finds herself at the heart of the heist of the century. The synopsis continues: “A typical work day at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke to execute their demands. But who would  steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why?

“DCI Rhys is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing  interests at the center of this far-reaching crime.”
