The Assassin, a hit Amazon Prime Video UK series, is currently in discussions for a second season. The popular show has reached significant success, prompting talks of a potential renewal with studios.
Deadline reports that Two Brothers Pictures, backed by All3Media, is planning The Assassin Season 2. However, Amazon Prime has not provided an official update on the renewal. While no deal has been finalized yet, development efforts are ongoing.
Season 1 starred Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore in the lead roles. The series became the highest-rated Amazon Prime Video original drama of the year, based on official seven-day Barb viewing figures after its July release.
The series centers on a retired professional killer, played by Hawes, and her estranged son Edward, portrayed by Highmore. The finale jumps three months ahead, showing characters Julie, Edward, and Kayla sailing together.
It is later revealed that the three are searching for their surrogate mother.
The Assassin’s strong debut has sparked ongoing talks for a second season, with development progressing despite no official renewal announcement.
