Amazon has granted Hanna a second season renewal

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Amazon Prime Video today announced that they've given the greenlight to a second season of HANNA, the action-drama series based on Joe Wright's intense 2011 film. The first season of the series debuted on March 29 in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, and even though our own Alex Maidy felt a bit cold toward the series in his review, that's not about to keep the network from bringing the adolescent assassin back for more calculated carnage.

“We knew we had something unique with Hanna, and with the added momentum from its special post-Super Bowl preview, Amazon Prime Video customers worldwide agreed,” said Albert Cheng, Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios. “Since it debuted only ten days ago, Hanna has had a tremendous response, and we’re thrilled with not only how it has performed for us on the service, but with the action-packed world David Farr has created for the series and the stellar cast, led by Esmé Creed-Miles, Mireille Enos, and Joel Kinnaman. We’re excited to give fans a chance to see Hanna continue her journey on Amazon.”

"I am very much looking forward to taking Hanna on the next stage of her journey,” said David Farr. “It's been a wonderful experience so far, and I feel hugely supported by NBCU, Working Title and Amazon. The next season will take us into a whole new imaginative world. I can't wait to explore fresh terrain for this lonely young woman who wants only to belong, but who has to fight every day just to survive."

If you've yet to watch the show's first season, here's a brief recap courtesy of today's exciting press release for HANNA Season 2:

In Season One, 15-year-old Hanna (Esmé Creed-Miles), who was raised in total seclusion in the remote woods of Eastern Europe, has spent her entire young life training to fight those who hunt her and her mercenary father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman). Her survivalist skills are finally tested when she and Erik are separated upon their discovery by a rogue CIA operative, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) and her team of agents. Hanna has no choice but to embark on a perilous journey alone across Europe as she seeks to reunite with her father and evade – and ultimately take down – the dangerous agents who target them. Hanna’s isolated upbringing leads her to face particularly daunting physical and emotional challenges along the way, as she navigates an ever-deepening conspiracy – one that could be the undoing of both her and her father.

Meanwhile, Farr is set to pen the project's sophomore effort as well, in addition to serving as an executive producer. Tom Coan will also executive produce for NBCUniversal International Studios.

If you're hoping to check HANNA out for yourself, you're in luck, because the first season is available to stream right now for all Amazon Prime members.
