FIRST LOOK The Assassin

And Julie’s days as an assassin are far from behind her...

With filming currently taking place in Malta, Prime Video has released first look images alongside further casting details for the second series of The Assassin, written by award-winning duo Harry and Jack Williams.

The second series picks up after Edward and Julie have returned from a disastrous trip to Berlin, 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 with Kayla 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?

Returning cast members Keeley Hawes, Freddie Highmore, Shalom Brune-Franklin and Devon Terrell will be joined by Arnaud Binard as Bastien, a charismatic Frenchman whose path crosses with Julie, though whether by chance or design remains to be seen, and Natalia Tena plays Inspector Cortez, a sharp Spanish detective whose emotional intelligence and steely ambition should not be underestimated.

Boris Van Severen will play Titus, a desperate and conflicted Belgian man driven by resentment and loss, whose bid to claim the life he believes he deserves quickly spirals as he finds himself out of his depth and open to manipulation.

Jacqueline Boatswain also joins the cast as Isha Lockwood, a long-time employee of Ezra’s father’s mining empire. Now working under Ezra and frequently clashing with him, Isha finds her perspective shifting when a life-or-death situation forces her to go far beyond her job description.

Monic Hendrickx plays Louise, a complex figure whose close connection to Julie and Edward has consequences that span both past and present.

Other cast members include Karl-El Santos, Mehdi Regragui, Casimiro Aguza, Tony Corvillo, Amin Hamada, and Lolo Herrero, who form part of Cortez’s team.

Made by Two Brothers Pictures in association with All3Media International, The Assassin is written and created by Harry and Jack Williams, who will also serve as Executive Producers, alongside Sarah Hammond, Alex Mercer and Daisy Mount for Two Brothers Pictures, and Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore.

The first three episodes will be directed by Terry McDonough, who also serves as exectutive, with Sarah O’Gorman directing episodes 4-6, and the entire series will be produced by John Griffin with Jessica Mescall as casting director.
