Prime Video has released a trailer for ‘Paris Has Fallen‘, the first TV series based on the ‘…Has Fallen’ movie franchise, from ‘Misfits’ creator Howard Overman, set to premiere in November on the streaming service.
When a terrorist group led by the villainous Jacob Pearce (Sean Harris) attacks a high-profile event, with the French Minister of Defence as their target, protection officer Vincent Taleb (Tewfik Jallab) finds himself working with street-smart MI6 operative Zara Taylor (Ritu Arya) to save the day. But when events take a dark turn, Vincent and Zara soon realize that the plan extends beyond just one politician. When they suspect that one of their colleagues in the security services is feeding information to Jacob, Vincent and Zara find themselves needing to rely only on each other. Increasingly isolated and with Jacob always one step ahead, can this unlikely pair stop Paris from falling to a man hell-bent on vengeance?
The drama stars Sean Harris (The Borgias, The Gold, Southcliffe), Tewfik Jallab (Oussekine, The Marchers), and Ritu Arya (Humans, The Umbrella Academy). The cast also includes Ana Ularu (The Power, Alex Rider, Jack Ryan), Camille Rutherford (A Very British Scandal), Jérémie Covillault (Chronicles of the Sun, Les invisibles), Emmanuelle Bercot (Making Of, Mon roi), Karl Collins (Culprits, Hollyoaks), and Nathan Willcocks (Marie Antoinette, Versailles).
The series is created and written by Howard Overman, the BAFTA-winning creator of ‘Misfits’. He was also behind shows such as ‘War Of The Worlds’, ‘Atlantis’, ‘Future Man’, and ‘Crazyhead’.
The original film franchise began in 2013 with ‘Olympus Has Fallen’, followed by ‘London Has Fallen’ (2016), ‘Angel Has Fallen’ (2019), and there is a planned fourth film, ‘Night Has Fallen’, in development. The franchise has made over $523 million at the box office.
All the movies have starred Gerard Butler, and whilst he isn’t starring in the series, he is attached as an executive producer. Jeffrey Greenstein, Avi Lerner, Yariv Lerner, Jonathan Yunger, Oded Ruskin, and Alan Siegel also exec produce. The series is produced by Studio Canal.
‘Paris Has Fallen‘ premieres Friday, 1st November 2024 on Prime Video UK.
