Season 2 Cast Slideshow

Find out what’s ahead in World on Fire Season 2, 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.

World on Fire Season 2’s cast will also feature Cel Spellman (Better, Cold Feet) as Joe, Eryk Biedunkiewicz as Jan, Yrsa Daley-Ward (Outer Range, The Collaboration) as Connie, Ewan Mitchell (House of the Dragon, Trigger Point) as Tom, and Mateusz Wieclawek (Kurier, Monument) as Grzegorz.
