Amazon Renews HANNA for Second Season

Amazon has renewed "Hanna" for a second season, according to Variety. The series debuted on March 29 and is based on the 2011 film of the same name.

Hanna follows 15-year-old Hanna (Esm' Creed-Miles), who was raised in total seclusion in the remote woods of Eastern Europe. She has spent her entire young life training to fight those who hunt her and her mercenary father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman). Her survivalist skills are finally tested when she and Erik are separated upon their discovery by a rogue CIA operative, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) and her team of agents. Hanna must fight for her life to get back to her father and stop those who are targeting them.

Albert Cheng, co-head of television for Amazon Studios spoke of the renewal saying, "We knew we had something unique with 'Hanna,' and with the added momentum from its special post-Super Bowl preview, Amazon Prime Video customers worldwide agreed. Since it debuted only ten days ago, Hanna has had a tremendous response, and we're thrilled with not only how it has performed for us on the service, but with the action-packed world David Farr has created for the series and the stellar cast, led by Esm' Creed-Miles, Mireille Enos, and Joel Kinnaman. We're excited to give fans a chance to see Hanna continue her journey on Amazon."

Season 2 will air on Amazon in 2020.

The eight-episode first season was written by David Far and was produced by NBCUniversal International Studios, Working Title Television, and Amazon Studios. Farr will write Season 2 in addition to serving as executive producer.
