The Assassin returns for a second series on Amazon
The Assassin has been picked up for a second series on Amazon.
The Assassin is set to return for a second series.
Keeley Hawes is poised to reprise the role of Julie, a former assassin whose quiet life on an idyllic Greek island was disrupted in series one, for a second season of the Amazon show, with production set to commence later this year.
Keeley - who stars on the show alongside Freddie Highmore - said in a statement: "I can't wait to step back into Julie's world.
"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."
Freddie - who plays Keeley's on-screen son - is also looking forward to series two of the show.
The 34-year-old actor - who previously played Norman Bates in the drama-thriller series Bates Motel - said: "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.
"Harry and Jack have cooked up another spectacular adventure, and I feel so lucky to have the brilliant Keeley as a sparring partner once again."
The upcoming series is once again being executive produced by Daisy Mount and Alex Mercer, and they're excited by the challenge.
They said in a statement: "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 centre of it."
Meanwhile, All3Media International's Maartje Horchner, the executive vice president of content, has teased details of series two.
Maartje shared: "We're delighted that this fabulously stylish and witty thriller, so well received globally, is returning. 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."
