Malice is a 2025 British psychological thriller film series created by James Wood. The film premiered on the Amazon Prime Video movie platform on 14 November 2025.
The series is positioned as a luxurious and disturbing thriller with a rich cast — including David Duchovny, Jack Whitehall and Caris van Houten.
The plot focuses on a young man, a "manny"/children's governess, named Adam (Jack Whitehall), who infiltrates a wealthy family — the Tanner family — while they are on vacation in Greece. After an incident — a hospital crisis with their child — Adam gains the position to live with them in London, where he begins to reveal his ulterior motives for revenge and the destruction of the family's "holiday" life. The series asks the question: who is the enemy and who is the victim, when the facade of wealth and power is destroyed from within.
The film was shot on location in Greece (the island of Paros) and London, providing a visual contrast between the sunny facade and the cold urban world. The style is built around class, wealth and manipulation, with the editing and camera following closely — a thriller atmosphere, tension, anticipation. The scenes often use luxurious settings, but with a sense of insidious danger — the beautiful backdrop is a mask for something dark.
„Malice“" is a gripping, stylish, and psychologically intense series that promises to be one of the most interesting premieres of the end of 2025. If you're looking for a series with meaning, visual brilliance, and themes of power, isolation, and betrayal — this one might bring you what you want.
