What To Expect From Amazon's Hanna TV Show

The Hanna TV show brings the teenage fighting machine to Amazon Prime. The Hanna TV show is an adaptation of the 2011 action film directed by Joe Wright (Atonement) that helped launch Saoirse Ronan (Mary Queen of Scots) to stardom. The Hanna movie was centered around the titular heroine, an isolated teen who was raised to be a ruthless killer in the wilds of Finland by her father Erik (Eric Bana), an ex-government operative. They are subsequently hunted by a CIA agent (Cate Blanchett) with a vendetta against Erik who wants to capture Hanna for her own nefarious ends.

The upcoming Hanna TV show was announced in 2017 and is written by David Farr, who is the same screenwriter as the feature film. Farr is no stranger to tales of dangerous espionage; he wrote the 2016 AMC miniseries adaptation of John Le Carre's The Night Manager and he worked on the BBC One spy series Spooks (known as MI:5 in the United States). Sadly, Wright won't be returning to direct, but Sarah Adina Smith, who has helmed episodes of Wrecked on TBS and Legion on FX, will call the shots on the pilot.

Amazon Prime's Hanna TV show also intriguingly features the reunion of Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos, who starred together in AMC's critically-acclaimed series The Killing. They are joined by newcomer Esme Creed-Miles, who takes over the role of Hanna. Here's everything else we know so far about Amazon Prime's Hanna TV show.
