World on Fire Season 2 opens in 1941. WWII has reached the sands of the Egyptian desert while German bombs fall on Manchester in England. Harry introduces an explosive force into Robina’s household.

World on Fire is an adrenalized, emotionally gripping World War II drama following the intertwining fates of ordinary people in multiple countries as they grapple with the effects of war on their everyday lives. The Guardian (UK) says World on Fire Season 2 “has an immaculate grasp of tension and character. To watch is to be fully invested in these peoples’ fate.”

The cast includes Lesley Manville (Magpie Murders, The Crown, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), Jonah Hauer-King (Little Women on MASTERPIECE, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Howard’s End), and Mark Bonnar (Guilt, Shetland, Catastrophe).
