Here’s a first look at Cillian Murphy in Steve, hitting screens this autumn

It hits screens in September.
Now Netflix have given us our first glimpse of Oscar-winning Corkman Cillian Murphy in the new school drama Steve.
Set in the mid-1990s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter’s Sunday Times bestseller Shy. The film follows a pivotal day in the life of headteacher Steve (Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amidst a world that has forsaken them.
“As Steve fights to protect the school’s integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve’s struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.” Netflix revealed.

Steve will be released in select cinemas in September before landing on Netflix on October 3rd, 2025.
