Reluctant teen hero Alex Rider has no time to waste: there are billionaires to take down, after all. Now streaming on Starzplay, the new ‘Alex Rider’ series based on the beloved British espionage books by Anthony Harrowitz, follows the eponymous protagonist as he gets roped into a murky sub-division of the MI6 run by Alan Blunt (Game of Thrones’ Stephen Dallane) to complete top secret missions.
Starring Otto Farrant as Rider himself and GoT’s Brenock O’Conor as his eccentric best friend Tom Harris, the show sees Rider transform from your everyday British school lad into an undercover spy enrolled at a remote boarding school in the French Alps. Here are ten things to know about the show - and why author Harrowitz loves it.

The quote could be taken from Ian Fleming, but in fact it is the opening line of Stormbreaker, the first novel in Anthony Horowitz s globally successful Alex Rider series. The echo of Fleming is notable for two reasons: firstly, Alex is a teenage spy who s saved the world nearly as many times as James Bond (13 times and counting).
Secondly, the stories are played totally straight: Horowitz saw himself as writing an adult book for kids and Alex s world is no less dangerous or brutal than Bond s. The stakes are high Stormbreaker involves the attempted genocide of British schoolchildren, and that s one of the more grounded entries in that there isn t a nuclear bomb and the body count higher still.
