Season 2Fri 6 Nov
Season 2 of The Assassin lands on Friday, 6 November 2026 on Prime Video, all 6 episodes at once.Is it for me?
It is pulpy and a little silly, a good fit for people who want a fast thriller and enjoy a family argument more than realism. Julie buys steaks to welcome her son, and he reminds her he is vegan; the two keep missing each other from the first hello. Keeley Hawes plays her clipped against a prickly Freddie Highmore, and the cheesy lines are part of the fun.
Before you start
The plot gets busier as it goes, with a separate prison storyline cut in alongside the main one.
1 season, 6 episodes, 49 min each, about 5 hours so far
