LA Screenings: Hot Picks to Keep on the Radar


Making the cut, another excursion into Stephen King’s “It” universe, a Series Mania winner and U.K. Channel 4’s best ever streaming launch.

It’s here that retired assassin Julie (Keeley Hawes, “Orphan Black: Echoes,” “Miss Austen”) and her estranged son Edward (Freddie Highmore, nominated for a Golden Globe for “The Good Doctor”) find themselves thrown together. A Sky Studios and Fremantle co-production, with Wildside providing production services in Italy, sees Niamh Algar and Tom Hollander in a chase thriller about a rootless and enigmatic genius, Iris Nixon, who steals a code from a charming philanthropist and goes on the run. Created by Elad Chen, Suchard, Michael Stern, Shlomit Arviv and directed by Aaron Geva and Mickey Triest, the show offers insights into mentalism, which combines a deep understanding of body language, social cues, anatomy, mathematics and custom-designed tools.
