Malice is a tense Prime Video thriller series set in London and Greece starring comedian and actor Jack Whitehall. He plays Adam Healey, a charming ‘manny’ who infiltrates a brash, wealthy family in order to destroy them. The X-Files’ David Duchovny plays Jamie Tanner, the patriarch of the family, while Game of Thrones star Carice van Houten is his wife, Nat. But why does Adam hate the Tanners so much?

Jack Whitehall says: “What an incredible 18 weeks it’s been, from shooting in London in February, to ending in 37-degree heat in Paros. The whole shoot has been an amazing experience and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved. “I feel so lucky to have been able to go to work every day with so many insanely talented people on this job. I can’t wait for you to see the end result when it launches worldwide on Prime Video.”
