Today marks the streaming debut of the Resident Evil Netflix original series, starring Ahad Raza Mir. The actor, who has recently garnered attention on a global scale, has now been added to the cast of yet another international project.
Alongside original cast members Lesley Manville as Robina, Jonah Hauer-King as Harry, Julia Brown as Lois, and Zofia Wichlacz as Kasia, the actor will appear in a supporting role on World on Fire Season 2.
Along with Cel Spellman as Joe, other returning actors include Blake Harrison as Stan, Eugénie Derouand as Henriette, Eryk Biedunkiewicz as Jan, and Eugénie Derouand as Henriette.
Mir is not the only new addition; actors Mark Bonnar and Gregg Sulkin were also brought on board.
There will likely be more casting.
As British troops struggle alongside Indian Sappers and Australian Diggers to adapt to a very different kind of combat, World on Fire Season 2 will transport viewers from the streets of Britain to occupied France, Nazi Germany, and the sands of the North African desert.
The six new episodes, according to PBS, were written by the show’s creator Peter Bowker, Rachel Bennette, and Matt Jones. They tell the story of World War II through the eyes of regular people whose lives have been turned upside down.
The start of filming for World on Fire’s second season has been eagerly anticipated because of a specific pandemic, according to Bowker.
It has been a real pleasure to pick up the story with our inspirational cast, which consists of both long-time cast members and fresh newcomers who have embraced the scope and ambition of the programme.
“We are attempting to redress that balance with stories of struggle and friendship,” he continued, “because how the conflict played out in North Africa is a fascinating and understudied aspect of history.
We’ll keep reflecting the conflict’s global scope through our diverse cast. Season 2 is currently being filmed in Northern Ireland. In spring 2020, World on Fire Season 1 premiered.
