Joe Wright’s 2011 coming-of-age film/assassin thriller Hanna didn’t exactly set the world on fire when it opened. But reviews of it were pretty good, especially for star Saoirse Ronan as the young woman raised from birth to be an elite killer. But to see it, one wouldn’t exactly have pegged it to be turned into a TV series, much less one that has survived into its second season.
Hanna returns to Amazon for season two, and the title character’s world has been flipped upside down. The end of the first season saw her suffer a tragic loss from her life, and now she finds herself in a boarding school for young assassins known as The Meadows.
Esme Creed-Miles had some pretty big shoes to fill as Hanna, and while she’s no Ronan (But who is??) she has gone a long way in making the character her own. She’s joined in the cast by Mireille Enos, Anthony Welsh, and Dermot Mulroney.
SYNOPSIS: Welcome to the Meadows, a secret conditioning school where assassins are trained to go undercover as everyday teenage girls. But a former test subject, Hanna, returns to infiltrate the facility and put an end to this shadowy organization. They took her father. They took her identity. But can they stop her?
Hanna season 2 hits Amazon Prime on July 3rd.
