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.

Hanna TV Show Story Details
The Hanna TV show seems like it’s following the same pattern as the movie, at least at first. Like in the movie, Hanna is raised in isolation by her soldier father but decides she needs to experience the outside world. Her rebellious exploits see her go on a holiday with a family she meets, where she makes her first friend her age. But Hanna also draws the attention of Marissa and the CIA, who hunt Hanna and Erik.
Hanna TV Show Cast
Although they were partners in The Killing, Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos are on opposing sides in the Hanna. TV show Kinnaman plays Hanna’s father, Erik, a hardened ex-soldier and mercenary, who has raised his daughter in the remote wilderness of Poland for the past 15 years. Erik trained Hanna with essential survival skills but must cope with her desire for freedom and independence from the restrictions he has imposed on her. Enos plays Marissa, a ruthless CIA agent who is hiding a dark secret involving Erik. When Hanna appears on her radar, Hanna and Erik threaten to expose what Marissa has worked long and hard to keep hidden.
As Hanna, who decides to leave confinement to experience life but finds herself hunted by Marissa and others who are connected to the truth behind her origins and abilities, relative newcomer Creed-Miles will hopefully gain the same type of renown Saoirse Ronan achieved all those years ago.
