Harry Potter actress Natalia Tena and Emily in Paris star Arnaud Binard are among the new faces joining the second series of Prime Video's The Assassin, alongside returning leads Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore.
The thriller brings estranged Julie and Edward back into each other's lives when Edward's wife Kayla, played by Shalom Brune-Franklin, is abducted. Their reunion follows a catastrophic search for Edward's biological mother that left the pair estranged.
New cast members revealed
Prime Video described the series as "set against sun-soaked Spain, this action thriller blends humour, and high-stakes chaos as the duo take on the country's corrupt underworld while facing the past that broke them to save the future that still matters."
Natalia Tena joins the cast as Inspector Cortez, a driven and sharp-minded character who is always one step ahead. A formidable leader, she is highly intelligent and determined, yet was deeply wounded and betrayed by her previous marriage. Tena is widely recognised for her portrayal of Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter film series and as Osha in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Outside of film and television, she serves as the lead vocalist and accordionist of Molotov Jukebox.
