Two Brothers Pictures’ The Assassin, distributed by All3Media International, will return for a second season on Prime Video in the U.K.

Keeley Hawes (Miss Austen, The Bodyguard) and Freddie Highmore (The Good Doctor, Bates Motel) will reprise their roles as former assassin Julie and her son Edward, respectively. Season two will pick up after they return from their disastrous trip to Northern Europe.

Shalom Brune-Franklin (Baby Reindeer, The Girlfriend) and Devon Terrell (It’s What’s Inside, Barry) will reprise their roles as well.

Production is set to begin on the second season later this year. The first season is available to watch on Prime Video in the U.K. It is also available via AMC+ in the U.S., Crave and CTV Drama Channel in Canada, NBCUniversal LatAm across Latin America, ZDF in Germany, DR in Denmark, SVT in Sweden, VRT in Flemish Belgium, NPO in the Netherlands, HBO Max in France, Mediaset in Spain and Italy, COSMOTE in Greece, HOT in Israel, Freedom Media in Kazakhstan, Evision in the Middle East, Stan in Australia, SkyFree in New Zealand, WOWOW in Japan, Sohu in China and BBC Studios across Asia and India.

“I can’t wait to step back into Julie’s world,” Hawes said. “To reunite with Freddie and our extraordinary cast and to dive deeper into Julie’s life and her complicated relationship with Edward is a privilege. There is so much more to uncover, and audiences are in for a treat!”

“What fun it’ll be to get the gang back together—I can’t wait to be reunited with so many of the cast and crew,” Highmore commented. “Harry and Jack [Williams] have cooked up another spectacular adventure, and I feel so lucky to have the brilliant Keeley as a sparring partner once again.”

Daisy Mount and Alex Mercer, executive producers for Two Brothers, added, “Reuniting with Keeley, Freddie, Shalom and Devon is a real privilege as we dive back into the world of The Assassin—of course we couldn’t leave them sailing off into the sunset in blissful harmony! The second season is full of twists, turns and thrilling unpredictability, just like the characters at the center of it.”

“We’re delighted that this fabulously stylish and witty thriller, so well received globally, is returning,” said Maartje Horchner, executive VP of content at All3Media International. “The cast really made the characters their own, and Jack and Harry’s second series takes them on a hugely engaging journey that we know audiences will find entertaining.”
