Amazon confirms final season of Hanna

Action series Hanna, starring Esmé Creed-Miles, will end on Amazon Prime Video with its upcoming third season.

“That was always the intention, to be honest,” showrunner David Farr tells EW . “If you look back at when I was talking about the second season, I talked about how it needed ‘the third act.’ I come from the theatre originally, and I always have full act structure in my head to how a piece of drama plays out. And in this case, I felt that there was this very clear arc.”

The Season 3 premiere picks up almost immediately after the end of Season 2, as teen assassin Hanna (Esmé Creed-Miles) embarks on her new mission to take down the sinister government organisation Utrax from the inside, with help from enemy-turned-ally Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) and blackmail victim John Carmichael (Dermot Mulroney). But Hanna‘s fellow young assassins Sandy (Áine Rose Daly) and Jules (Gianna Kiehl), as well as terrifying new foe Gordon Evans (Ray Liotta), are starting to suspect Hanna‘s plan. As she moves closer to her goal, Hanna begins to uncover not only a world-changing agenda but also the true power behind Utrax that stands between her and freedom.

Farr also teases that the final season is “the most operatic of the three,” and that it ends on a high note.

“It’s really about Hanna having to come to the ultimate terms with who created her and how she was created and why, and the political context and stakes and consequences of that, and the personal consequences and stakes of that,” he says. “It operates on a quite extreme family tragedy level. That central big arc of her finally coming to terms with the nemesis of what this project was, what is Utrax, what was it intended to do, who was behind it, what was it all about, and can she actually escape the destiny that it intended for her? That’s the fundamental drive of this season.”

Season 3 will screen Friday November 24 on Amazon Prime Video.
