What do we know about The Assassin series 2

Keeley Hawes (Miss Austen, The Bodyguard) will reprise the role of Julie, a former assassin whose quiet life on an idyllic Greek island was disrupted in series one when her son, Edward (Freddie Highmore – The Good Doctor, Bates Motel), arrived seeking answers around his paternity.
Highmore also returns as Edward, who was forced to confront some shocking truths and discover his own resilience and courage. Shalom Brune-Franklin (Baby Reindeer, The Girlfriend) reprises her role as Kayla, Edward’s tenacious and savvy fiancée, whilst Devon Terrell (It’s What’s Inside, Barry) returns as Ezra, Kayla’s unpredictable and power-driven brother. Further casting to be announced.
As to the story

The second series picks up after Edward and Julie have returned from a disastrous trip to Northern Europe, where they find themselves estranged once again following a mysterious fall-out no one is willing to discuss.

Julie’s days as an assassin are far from behind her as she has slipped back to her old ways, whilst navigating 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?

We assume the series will film later this year when more news will be made available. We’ll keep you posted.
