Hanna is one of the best thrillers that most of you never saw. Directed by Joe Wright, the film starred Saoirse Ronan as a tiny assassin that’s hunted down by Cate Blanchett before she kills too many people. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and coming to Amazon as a television series.

Wright will have nothing to do with the series but the original writer, David Farr, will write and executive produce the series.

“I am delighted to be able to return to the Hanna story,” said Farr. “Joe Wright’s movie was dazzling, but inevitably there were certain elements that a feature-length film wasn’t able fully to explore. It’s a pleasure therefore to be able to revisit the material in a longer format and take Hanna into whole new physical and emotional worlds. Amazon has shown such passion for the project and is the perfect home for Hanna.”

The president over at NBCUniversal International Studios, Michael Edelstein, is very excited to see the project come to life.

“From the moment JoAnn Alfano and I saw Hanna it was evident that the film would make an incredible TV series. Fortunately, David Farr felt there was more Hanna story to tell and wanted to revisit this extraordinary world. We’re excited to be in business with David, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, who share our passion for this compelling story. The team at Amazon have been incredibly supportive, and we are delighted this show will air on a platform that continues to generate exceptional content.”
