Prime Video has a new darkly-themed thriller series on the way. Malice, created by James Wood (Rev, Quacks), tells a class-skewering revenge story set against the backdrop of Greece.
Starring David Duchovny (Californication, The X Files), Carice van Houten (Game of Thrones, Valkyrie), and Jack Whitehall (Bad Education, Jungle Cruise), Malice premieres on November 14 with all six episodes.
Per Prime Video, the synopsis reads, “Adam (Jack Whitehall) is a charismatic tutor who charms his way into the life of the wealthy Tanner family while they’re on holiday in Greece. When the family’s nanny falls dangerously ill, Adam orchestrates his way into their London home, and his true vengeful nature begins to emerge… Adam now starts to turn Jamie Tanner (David Duchovny) and Nat (Carice Van Houten) against each other and secretly plots to bring down the entire family. When Adam’s obsession with the family raises questions, those who dig deeper into his past find themselves playing a dangerous game. With his world collapsing around him, Jamie starts to realise that Adam may be responsible for all their recent disasters – but is it too late to save his family?”
Additional cast include Christine Adams (Hijack, Black Lightning), Raza Jaffrey (The Serpent Queen, Lost in Space), Harry Gilby (The Last Kingdom, Boarders), and Phoenix Laroche (The Velveteen Rabbit, The Royal Nanny).
Jack Whitehall told Prime Video, “This role is unlike anything I’ve ever done before. Moving from comedy to playing a character so deliciously dark and complex was exhilarating; Adam is the kind of character who makes you question everything – he’s charming and funny one moment and absolutely chilling the next. What I love about Malice is how it constantly keeps you guessing – just when you think you know who’s right and who’s wrong, everything shifts, and you’re left questioning everyone’s motives.”
