Season Three of Hanna continues the journey of an extraordinary young woman, played by Esmé Creed-Miles, who was created by the sinister organization Utrax and trained to be an assassin. Hanna (Creed-Miles) is now secretly trying to destroy Utrax from the inside and free herself from its grasp with the help of her previous nemesis, former-CIA agent Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos). Together they have coerced high-ranking Utrax agent John Carmichael (Dermot Mulroney) into aiding their mission, but her fellow young assassins, Sandy (Áine Rose Daly) and Jules (Gianna Kiehl), and new foes are starting to suspect Hanna’s plot. As Hanna moves closer to her goal, she begins to uncover not only a world-changing agenda but the true power behind Utrax that stands between her and freedom.
From today’s New York Comic Con panel, Hanna executive producer Tom Coan said of Season Three: “The journey is going to be bigger and better than before … everything lives at a much louder volume this year and it’s going to be exciting for audiences to see the next chapter of the story. We had two intentions in making this show—to be more sophisticated and dynamic—and that was the centerpiece on which everything was built … we operated on the principle of trying to make it as exciting as possible.”
Mireille Enos raved about getting to work so much more with her co-star, Esmé Creed-Miles, and revealed this season Marissa and Hanna “treat each other like equals … there’s a real acknowledgement of each other as two powerhouses.”
On the addition of Ray Liotta to the Season Three cast, Coan shared, “You see Ray Liotta and he is menacing and dangerous and complicated, and that’s one of the powers he brings to the screen every time.”
Wrapping up the panel conversation, Creed-Miles ended with, “Hanna is really special, I love her very much, if she can reach young women in a way that I would have wanted to be reached … then that’s the best I could hope for.”
