Stephen Graham has a "creepy" role in The Good Boy

when enigmatic genius iris nixon (algar) cracks a string of complex online puzzles, she’s led to a piazza in florence where she meets charismatic entrepreneur cameron beck (hollander). he invites her to come and work for him to unlock a powerful and top secret piece of technology. her curiosity piqued, she accepts. but when iris discovers its dangerous potential, she steals the journal containing the device’s activation sequence—and vanishes. what follows is a relentless pursuit, from a remote cabin in sardinia through the bustling streets of rome, as cameron races to find iris in a high stakes game where trust is dangerous and failure could be catastrophic. starring niamh algar (mary george, the virtues) and tom hollander (the white lotus, feud: capote vs. the swans), the iris affair is a sun drenched chase thriller created, written and showrun by neil cross (luther) and directed by terry mcdonough (breaking bad, better call saul) and sarah o’gorman (a gentleman in moscow, the witcher). the iris affair will launch on sky and streaming service now on october 16th.
