'Explosive' Sky thriller stars Game of Thrones icon in totally new role away from fantasy hit
Atomic, a brand new five-part drama, is coming to Sky next month and it's set to be a chaotic, high-octane ride for viewers Game of Thrones favourite Alfie Allen is set to captivate audiences once more in an unmissable thriller boasting a stellar ensemble cast, arriving shortly on Sky. Atomic, a gripping five-part series, teams the actor renowned for his portrayal of Theon Greyjoy in HBO's fantasy epic with Star Trek: Discovery's Shazad Latif in a frantic battle against the clock. Allen's character Max, a drug runner, encounters Latif's JJ, sparking an unexpected alliance before they find themselves in serious trouble. The official synopsis reveals: "They're swept into a chaotic, high-stakes mission they never signed up for- trafficking highly enriched uranium across North Africa and the Middle East, with the CIA, MI6, and a global web of opposing forces closing in fast." Sky's explosive new trailer showcases pulse-pounding, cinema-quality thrills as Max and JJ evade CIA operative Cassie Elliott (portrayed by Samira Wiley), reports the Express. The Handmaid's Tale actress embodies the relentless agent who believes the pair are collaborating with terrorists and is determined to retrieve their dangerous yet unstable contraband. "The pair find themselves on a wild road trip, confronting covert operatives, an internationally funded cartel, and ultimately their own pasts," the description adds. "What starts as a bid for survival slowly becomes something more: a reluctant partnership, a shot at redemption, and one hell of a ride." Viewers received their initial glimpse of the programme today through a brief preview before Atomic launches on Thursday, 28th August. In the trailer, Allen is barely recognisable from his iconic role as Theon, trading in the character's signature armour and unkempt hair for a decidedly more contemporary look. Latif, too, looks strikingly different from his Star Trek days, now sporting a thick beard for his role as JJ. While further plot details remain shrouded in mystery, Sky viewers can anticipate a gripping thriller as Max and JJ traverse North Africa and the Middle East with the CIA hot on their heels. Beyond Atomic and Thrones, Allen has made a name for himself through roles in BBC's historical action drama SAS: Rogue Heroes and ITV's period detective series White House Farm. Earlier this year, he featured in the ITV hacker drama Safe Harbour, which saw him reunite with HBO co-star Jack Gleeson, infamous for his portrayal of Westeros' villainous Joffrey Baratheon. Atomic will premiere on Thursday, 28th August on Sky and NOW.

Real life Emmerdale couple's wedding date confirmed three years after engagement
A couple who met on the set of Emmerdale when they played on-screen siblings are set to get married next week, with Max Parker and Kris Mochrie tying the knot very soon Former Emmerdale star Max Parker has announced the date of his wedding to former co-star Kris Mochrie. Max, who began a romance with Kris after meeting on the set, has teased that their nuptials are now just days away. Kris, 40, and Max, 33, who played brothers Lee Posner and Luke Posner respectively on the ITV soap opera, have been together since 2020 after meeting behind-the-scenes. Although on-screen siblings, the two actors, who have both since left Emmerdale, didn't share any scenes together. They got engaged just over three years ago, with Max having proposed to his partner Kris in January 2022. They are now preparing to get married next week. The news comes after Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd married his fiancée in a star-studded wedding in Manchester over the weekend. Max announced yesterday that it's just a week until he married Kris. The actor shared posts on Instagram that confirmed that they are just days away from exchanging vows, three years on from the couple's engagement. Alongside a photo of them both dressed up in suits, Max wrote: "7 days and we're married." He tagged his fiancé Kris, whose tie he was adjusting in the photo, in the post that was shared with his followers on the platform this week. Max also shared a photo of them raising a toast with glasses ahead of their upcoming wedding recently. The photo, which featured a fire in the background, was accompanied by a caption that read: "1 week til we get HITCHED!" It comes after Kris announced last year that the couple would be getting married in August this year. Alongside an engagement ring emoji, Kris wrote in a post on the platform almost a year ago: "365 days to go & 365 things to do." The couple got engaged in 2022, with Kris sharing the news at the time after Max, who he described as his "best friend," proposed on a beach. He shared that the proposal had been "perfect" and said he was a "very lucky boy". Kris wrote: "The beautiful soul that is my best friend asked me to marry him yesterday. I can't begin to describe how happy I am. I love him beyond words, we laugh every single day and I'm so so grateful that he came in to my life." He continued: "I had no idea at all! But it was just perfect… I mean this film says it all. Max had asked my Mum for any jewellery that my Gran had. Mum still had my Grans locket and he has had it made in to the middle of the engagement ring on the inside. So so special." Kris concluded his post at the time by writing: "Thank you to the job that brought us together, our incredible family and friends. And the amazing love from you all. I'm a very lucky boy. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!"
