The show was first announced, with the working title Iris, in May 2024, with writer/creator Cross saying: "All I wanted to do was to make a show I wanted to watch.
"Iris is an unapologetically exciting, witty, chase-driven adventure show and features a lead character the like of which I don't think we've ever met before on TV.
"With Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander bringing these complex characters to life, coupled with Terry McDonough's direction, I couldn't be more excited to share this world and these characters."
The Iris Affair will launch this autumn on Sky and NOW – get tickets now to our exclusive preview event.
