Ready to be swept up in a new gun-toting, mind-spinning, globe-spanning drama? The Iris Affair hits screens on October 16 on Sky Atlantic in the UK and will be available to stream for free in New Zealand thanks to TVNZ+. Read on for how to watch The Iris Affair online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.
Irish actor Niamh Algar (The Virtues) is the titular Iris – a bonafide genius who can crack virtually impossible puzzles just for kicks. And when Tom Hollander’s (The White Lotus S2) entrepreneur Cameron Beck approaches her to solve a riddle that really matters, it’s too tempting an offer for Iris to turn down.
However, it soon becomes apparent that Beck wants Iris to unlock, as our protagonist says, “a machine that could alter the future of humanity”. It’s enough to send her fleeing the laboratory with the machine’s activation codes in hand and being pursued across Europe by a small army of dangerous mercenaries to bring her back in – alive or dead.
