Prime Video Drops Malice Trailer: Jack Whitehall Goes "Deliciously Dark" in Twisty New Thriller

Prime Video has unleashed the trailer for Malice, its upcoming six-episode thriller, and it looks like viewers are about to see Jack Whitehall in a whole new light or, more accurately, shadow. Known for his posh, bumbling comedic persona, Whitehall is stepping far outside his comfort zone in a story that mixes charm, deceit, and revenge with the kind of slick style Prime Video loves to flaunt. The series premieres worldwide on November 14, and from the looks of it, Malice could easily become the platform’s next viral obsession.

The show follows Adam, a charismatic tutor who slithers into the orbit of the wealthy Tanner family during their idyllic Greek holiday. When the family’s nanny falls mysteriously ill, Adam finds his way into their London home and their lives with unnerving ease. From there, everything unravels. David Duchovny (The X Files) and Carice van Houten (Game of Thrones) play the increasingly paranoid couple, slowly realizing that their charming houseguest might be engineering their destruction one manipulation at a time.

Whitehall has called the role “unlike anything I’ve ever done before,” adding that playing Adam was “exhilarating,” and that the character is “charming and funny one moment and absolutely chilling the next.” He’s not exaggerating, the trailer teases a performance that’s equal parts disarming and devious, a perfect recipe for a binge-worthy thriller.

Directed by Mike Barker (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Leonora Lonsdale (The Pale Horse), Malice looks like a sharp, moody blend of class critique and psychological mind games. Think The Talented Mr Ripley meets Saltburn, but with an even glossier coat of Mediterranean sunshine.

If you enjoy your thrillers served with a side of schadenfreude and a sprinkle of chaos, Malice should be firmly on your watchlist. Prime Video’s latest dive into beautiful people behaving badly might just make you rethink who you invite into your home.
