Prime Video Announces New Thriller Series “Haven” Starring Sophie Turner

Prime Video has caused a stir by releasing the order for a captivating drama series titled “Haven” (working title), ahead of its first upfront presentation on May 14. A major robbery sets the stage for an interesting drama, which the critically acclaimed Sophie Turner of “Game of Thrones” is anticipated to deliver.

Turner will be joined by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, best known for his appearances in “Bodies” and “The Queen’s Gambit,” and Archie Madekwe, who has appeared in “Saltburn” and “Gran Turismo.” The trio will lead the cast of this high-stakes thriller, which will be released on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories globally.

“Haven,” produced by Drama Republic, known for hits like “One Day” and “Doctor Foster,” has a talented creative team. S.A. Nikias, a crime novelist, will write the series, while Sam Miller, known for his work on “I May Destroy You” and “Black Mirror,” will direct and executive produce the first three episodes.

The series tells the narrative of Zara, played by Turner, an everyday office worker caught up in the century’s biggest crime. As pandemonium reigns at her workplace, Zara and her companion Luke, played by Madekwe, must navigate the perilous demands of aggressive robbers. Meanwhile, DCI Rhys, played by Fortune-Lloyd, struggles with his own personal troubles as he investigates the bizarre incident.

Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, expressed excitement about the series, hailing it as a thrilling addition to their lineup. “Haven,” he remarked, is a captivating tale that promises to captivate audiences worldwide.

Rebecca de Souza and Greg Brenman of Drama Republic agreed with Sanders, complimenting the talent of first-time TV screenwriter Sotiris Nikias. They praised Nikias’ screenplays as riveting and interesting, crediting the series’ success to his storytelling ability.
