Hanna

Follow the journey of an extraordinary young girl as she evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is.

Hanna (2019-2021) is an American spy thriller series created by David Farr for Prime Video. Esmé Creed-Miles plays the title character, a gifted young girl raised in isolation and trained as a lethal weapon, who evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent played by Mireille Enos as Marissa Wiegler. Joel Kinnaman appears as Erik Heller, a former operative whose loyalties complicate Hanna's flight, while Dermot Mulroney and Khalid Abdalla add further intelligence-world pressure. The engine of the series is simple and urgent: Hanna wants to understand who she is and to stay free, while every step forward brings a new hunter, a new safe house to abandon, and a new layer of the program that shaped her. Across three seasons and twenty-two episodes, the story moves like a chase, with tense set pieces, fast cross-country escapes and quiet moments of fragile connection. Its tone is taut and melancholic, with a bleak undercurrent about childhood stolen by conditioning. The show spans the present-day American intelligence world and European hideaways, giving it a cool, modern look. Fans of Alias, Nikita and Dark Angel will find resonance in its blend of teenage assassin mythology, government conspiracy and emotional stakes.

Audiences rate the series positively, praising its lead performance and tense action, while finding its plotting and departures from the film less convincing.
