Keeley Hawes To Lead New Amazon Prime Series ‘The Assassin’

Keeley Hawes is all set to star in the upcoming TV series “The Assassin,” which is currently under works at Amazon Prime Video. The show is really special, especially for those who were waiting to watch some ‘catchy’ type of plotline.

The news has been reported officially by Amazon itself, where not only Keeley, but the name of Freddie Highmore is also announced to lead this project. The show is being written by Harry and Jack Williams, and if you are wondering about it’s length than let me add – “The Assassin” will be a six-episodes long series. Additionally, the filming is now underway in Greece, and you should expect some behind-the-scene images anytime soon.

Who Is Keeley Hawes In “The Assassin?”

Well, Hawes will be playing the role of a female character namely, Julie, who is a retired assassin. She was living her peaceful life in a Greek Island where destiny takes her to Highmore, who is portraying Edward (son of Julie).

According to the official synopsis, “Armed with questions around new information on his paternity, Edward battles to find the right time to speak to his frustratingly distant mother. But, when the moment finally presents itself, things take a deadly turn as Julie’s dangerous past catches up with her and they are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.”

Overall, the theme is looking really engaging to me, and of course, it has that villainous-thrilling type of vibe which is enough to garner a good response from the modern audience and streamers.

Talking about the official team than ‘The Assassin’ is being produced by the award-winning production company “Two Brothers Pictures.” Hannah Blyth, head of TV for Amazon Prime Video U.K, is promising a very solid story with a “dynamic mother-son relationship.”

In her words, “It’s been a true pleasure to watch their scripts come to life with our fantastic cast, led by Keeley and Freddie. The Assassin promises to deliver a high-stakes thriller with a dynamic mother-son relationship at its core, packed with twists and turns that will keep our audience hooked from start to finish. We can’t wait for our customers to immerse themselves in this gripping new series.”

Now I know what you are looking for. The full casting, right? Well. joining Keeley Hawes and Highmore is our Gina Gershon, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Alan Dale, Richard Dormer, David Dencik, Gerald Kyd and others. I’d also suggest to expect more casting news in upcoming months, so I will be updating this section respectively.
