Find out what’s ahead in the new season of the critically-acclaimed drama starring Lesley Manville (The Crown, Magpie Murders), Jonah Hauer King (The Little Mermaid, Little Women) and a stellar international cast, and get your first look at the stars of the new season.

In World on Fire Season 2, RAF pilots are sent to destroy German bombers prowling the skies above Manchester, with rescue operations underway on the streets below. The true reality of war has arrived in Britain. Telling the story of World War II through the eyes of ordinary people whose lives have been thrown into chaos, Season 2 will take viewers from the streets of Britain into occupied France, Nazi Germany, and to the sands of the North African desert, where British troops struggle alongside Indian Sappers and Australian Diggers to adapt to a very different kind of combat.

The eleven brand new images feature returning cast members Lesley Manville (The Crown, Magpie Murders) as Robina, Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid, Little Women), as Harry, Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners, A Very English Scandal) as Stan, Julia Brown (Shetland, Anthony) as Lois, Zofia Wichlacz (Receptura, Spoor) as Kasia, Parker Sawyers (Monsoon, A Discovery of Witches) as Albert, and Eugénie Derouand (The Advent Calendar, Paris Police) as Henriette, and offer a first glimpse of new cast members Mark Bonnar (Guilt, Shetland) as the mysterious Sir James Danemere, Gregg Sulkin (Runaways, Pretty Smart) as pilot David, Ahad Raza Mir (Resident Evil, Hum Tum) as soldier Rajib, and Miriam Schiweck (Der Staatsanwalk, Fellweckselzeit) as the German teenager Marga.
