## Synopsis

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.
