World on Fire season 2 preview
After a four-year break from screens thanks to pandemic production delays, Peter Bowker’s epic WW2 drama World on Fire has finally made its long awaited return with its second season.
With the first season focusing on the first year of World War Two, this second instalment continues the story of the conflict through the eyes of ordinary people.
The new series kicks off with the Battle of Britain in full flow and Manchester in the grip of the Blitz, with episodes set to focus on occupied France, Nazi Germany, and the desert settings of North Africa.
Having reunited at the tail end of season 1, following an ambush by German troops, season 2 is set to reveal what happened to British interpreter and soldier Harry (Jonah Hauer-King), and Polish Resistance operative Kasia (Zofia Wichłacz).
The new run also sees Julia Brown reprise her role as Lois Bennett, Harry's childhood sweetheart, and a singer for the Entertainments National Service Association, as well as Lesley Manville, who portrays Robina Chase, Harry's mother.
