Josh Hartnett stars in trailer for Robert Harris adaptation The Fear Index

December 21, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Sky has released a trailer for The Fear Index, the upcoming Sky Original thriller series based upon Robert Harris’ novel of the same name, which stars Josh Hartnett as tech genius Dr. Alex Hoffman and follows him as he experiences the worst 24 hours of his life; watch it here…

Dr Alex Hoffman (Josh Hartnett) is launching VIXAL-4 to investors - an AI-driven system that exploits fear in the financial markets and operates at lightning speed to make big returns. The promise is billions, the rich are ready to get richer… but this is not the day Alex and Hugo (Arsher Ali) had planned. What follows is a terrifying journey through the worst 24 hours of Alex’s life - cutting across reality, memory and paranoid fantasy,  forcing him to question everything he sees with his own eyes.

In the pulse of Geneva’s financial district, Alex’s sanity is shaken after he is viciously attacked at his home by a man who knows all of his security codes. After more unexplained occurrences, Alex becomes convinced he’s being framed. But as secrets surface from his past, will anyone believe that he isn’t just losing his mind?

Detective Leclerc (Grégory Montel), assigned to Alex’s case, struggles to work this former CERN scientist out. Hoffman’s talented artist wife  Gabby (Leila Farzad) might just be losing patience this time, whilst Hugo’s only concern is the billion-dollar business on the line. Invention can be lonely, and in a modern world of AI, capitalism and technological breakthroughs, Dr Alex Hoffman is about to learn the hard way how destructive his creation might be…

The Fear Index will premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW in February 2022.
