Watch the trailer for Steve, an upcoming movie starring Cillian Murphy and Jay Lycurgo.
Set in the mid-90s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter's Sunday Times bestseller Shy.

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.
Steve is produced by Alan Moloney, Cillian Murphy, and Tina Pawlik. Max Porter serves as executive producer. It is written by Max Porter. The music is by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow.
Steve, directed by Tim Mielants, opens in select theaters on September 19, and on Netflix on October 3, 2025.
