Prime Video Orders Haven From Drama Republic Starring Sophie Turner, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, and Archie Madekwe.
Prime Video is partnering with the UK’s Drama Republic to create Haven, a new heist drama series starring Sophie Turner. The upcoming series will feature crime novelist S.A. Nikias as the writer and Sam Miller, known for his work on I May Destroy You, Black Mirror, and A Gentleman In Moscow, as the director of the first three episodes. Miller will also serve as an executive producer.
Haven is a contemporary, high-octane thriller about the heist of the century and the ordinary office worker, Zara (Turner), who finds herself at the heart of it. A typical workday 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 (Madekwe) to execute their demands. But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Fortune-Lloyd) 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 centre of this far-reaching crime.
DRAMA REPUBLIC
“This attention-grabbing series, written by S.A. Nikias, is a uniquely thrilling ride and serves as an ideal addition to round out our Pan-English slate implemented by Rola Bauer and her team,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “Haven, shepherded by the fantastic team at Drama Republic, with the wonderful Sam Miller set to direct, and starring the incredibly talented Sophie Turner, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, and Archie Madekwe has all the ingredients for a gripping, addictive, entertaining story for our global customers to enjoy.”
“When we asked first-time tv screenwriter Sotiris Nikias if he’d like to have a go at writing a thriller we were astonished by the results. His rollercoasting, nail-biting and funny scripts have quite rightly attracted a tremendous cast and top-tier creative team. We couldn’t be more delighted,” said Rebecca de Souza (The Lovers, The Confessions of Frannie Langton) and Greg Brenman (The English, An Honourable Woman), of Drama Republic.
RELEASE
In addition to Turner, the series boasts the talents of Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Bodies, The Queen’s Gambit) and Archie Madekwe (Saltburn, Gran Turismo). As of the time of writing, the series uses Haven as a working title, so expect significant changes as it moves along the production line. Additionally, the series has yet to receive an official release date. But with the casting moving along at pace, expect the series to land on TV screens sooner rather than later.
