The Assassin

The Assassin

The critically acclaimed action thriller returns.​

Two Brothers Pictures for Prime Video, ZDF and Stan

Season 2: 6 x 60'
Season 1: 6 x 60'

Julie’s days as an assassin are far from behind her, but she navigates something just as perilous… the dating scene. When Edward’s honeymoon doesn’t go quite as planned, he must reunite with Julie to take on Spain’s corrupt underworld, but can they survive the job and mend the rift that tore them apart?

A lot has changed after the events of Series 1, where ex-assassin Julie (Keeley Hawes) and her estranged son Edward (Freddie Highmore) were forced to work together in a high-octane fight for survival.

Series 2 sees them torn apart again; Julie has returned to work as an assassin and Edward is no longer speaking to her. When Edward’s new wife Kayla is kidnapped on their honeymoon in Spain, there is only one person who he can turn to for help. Set in the striking landscape of Spain, this next instalment will have all the thrilling action, humour, and twists and turns of the first series as Julie and Edward are forced to confront their relationship whilst desperately chasing down the kidnappers.
