The eight-episode season two of drama series “Hanna” debuts today on Amazon Prime Video.
Teen assassin Hanna was raised in a Polish forest by her father, since the CIA was out to kill her.
While season one was based on Joe Wright’s 2011 film, season two offers creator David Farr more dramatic flexibility.
Per Amazon: “Following her discovery at the end of season one, Hanna (Esmé Creed-Miles) now knows she is not the only young woman with unparalleled skill and elite training. The Utrax program has produced a whole contingent of highly skilled trainees, whose development is about to reach the lethal second phase.”
“After their relocation to The Meadows facility, these trainees find their restrictions lifted and glimpse the possibility of a new identity in the outside world. But this apparent freedom will come at a heavy price.”
The new season will also see Hanna’s shifting relationship with agent Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos). Marissa is complicated; she’s sinister in season one, but may prove useful to Hanna in season two.
New cast members include Dermot Mulroney, Severine Howell-Meri, Cherrelle Skeete and Anthony Welsh.
The show is produced by Amazon Studios, NBCUniversal International Studios, Tomorrow Studios, and Working Title Television.
