Markle’s career is also on the upswing, as she’s the lead in a British crime thriller, _Anti-Social_, that’s getting its North American release (and a special edition cut) this January. In the gangster drama, Markle plays a high-fashion model dating a street artist who may or may not be connected with some major jewelry heists. The story is actually based on three real-life London crimes of the last decade, including the Graff Diamonds robbery in 2009, the Selfridge’s Burka robbery in 2013, and the Brent-Cross robbery in 2012\. Directed by [Amy Winehouse’s boyfriend](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/26/good-night-my-angel-friends-and-family-gather-for-amy-winehouses-funeral/?iid=sr-link1) Reg Traviss, Markle stars alongside Gregg Sulkin and British [rapper Skepta](http://time.com/4496536/skepta-david-bowie-mercury-prize/?iid=sr-link1), who plays a criminal mastermind. “I hate violence,” Markle says at one point in the trailer, which features plenty of smash-and-grab action and police activity alongside posh parties attended by a glamorous Markle. Stateside fans of Markle will be able to watch _Anti-Social: Special Edition_ on video on demand on Jan. 2\. It was [originally released](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3475596/) in the U.K. in 2015. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4585457/meghan-markle-british-crime-anti-social-special-edition/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4585457/meghan-markle-british-crime-anti-social-special-edition/"},"headline":"Watch Meghan Markle Star in British Crime Thriller Anti-Social: Special Edition","datePublished":"2016-11-29T22:22:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:01.538Z","description":"Markle plays a high-fashion model entrenched in a violent underworld","url":"https://time.com/4585457/meghan-markle-british-crime-anti-social-special-edition/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4585457/meghan-markle-british-crime-anti-social-special-edition/","name":"Watch Meghan Markle Star in British Crime Thriller Anti-Social: Special Edition"}}]}] ```
