Exclusive new pictures have been released of Keeley Hawes, Freddie Highmore and other cast members in The Assassin, an action-packed drama coming to Prime Video in the UK this July.

The series follows retired assassin Julie (Keeley Hawes), secluded on a remote Greek island and facing a somewhat thorny reunion with her estranged son, Edward (Freddie Highmore), visiting from England.

Armed with questions around new information on his paternity, Edward battles to find the right time to speak to his frustratingly distant mother. But, when the moment finally presents itself, things take a deadly turn as Julie’s dangerous past catches up with her and they are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.
