Warning: Contains spoilers on Prisoner Season 1 finale<\/p>\n
British action series Prisoner currently sits in the Top 10 of BINGE\u2019s must-watch list \u2013 and for good reason. <\/p>\n
The Sky series \u2013 which streams locally on BINGE<\/a> \u2013 has served up six high-stakes, high-speed episodes that have each proven a hit with viewers<\/a> since it premiered on the streamer earlier this month. <\/p>\n And its finale this week was just as unmissable, wrapping on a cliffhanger with the promise of revenge and redemption.<\/p>\n Well, now viewers can rest assure that all our questions will be answered with confirmation the series has been renewed for Season 2 and production starts later this year. <\/p>\n The series follows prisoner transport officer Amber Todd (played by BAFTA winner Izuka Hoyle) on her first day back from maternity leave when she is assigned to deliver high-value inmate Tibor Stone (Tahar Rahim) to the Old Bailey criminal court in London to testify against an elite crime syndicate.<\/p>\n Stream Prisoner Season 1 now on BINGE, available on Hubbl<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, their police convoy is brutally ambushed in an attempt to kill Tibor \u2013 a trained killer-turned informant \u2013 and a quick thinking Amber decides to handcuff herself to the prisoner as they run for their lives. <\/p>\n The two have no choice but to form an unlikely alliance and they must work together and trust each other \u2013 quickly \u2013 in order to reach their destination alive.<\/p>\n \u201cI think what got me most excited was the handcuff business,\u201d Scottish actress Hoyle recenntly told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s the concept of these two very different people handcuffed together, put through their paces, given the same objective, and how the story changes from a cat-and-mouse format to a psychological drama about what that does to two people, specifically Amber.\u201d<\/p>\n With Tibor left for dead in a swimming pool after being shot multiple times by his ruthless former prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Nina Voss (Leonie Benesch) in the finale, Season 2 sees Amber back in uniform. <\/p>\n However, her life is anything but normal as she struggles to further her career and hold her family together. <\/p>\n She is soon tasked with transporting a US academic-turned-notorious-killer for extradition, a polarising woman whose case has divided opinion. After an attempted assassination on her prisoner ordered by someone from within law enforcement, Amber is framed for murder and once again finds herself on the run with her morality turned upside down. <\/p>\n It\u2019s the complexities and the layers of these characters that attracted Rahim to the role of the intelligent hit man with a confirmed 47 kills who has an IQ of 140.<\/p>\n \u201cI never wanted to do an action piece that\u2019s just about the action,\u201d he told Deadline<\/a> earlier this year. <\/p>\n \u201cI needed something more and, in this show, the action is not gratuitous. It\u2019s rooted in the story and is here to help the development of the story and the characters.<\/p>\n \u201cI liked it because it\u2019s always fascinating to explore evil because it\u2019s so far outside of the realm of our understanding and you still have a distance that allows you to accept crazy things that a character could do because it\u2019s too far away from you.\u201d<\/p>\n Prisoner Season 1 is now streaming on BINGE <\/p>\n Read related topics:Binge<\/a>Foxtel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warning: Contains spoilers on Prisoner Season 1 finale British action series Prisoner currently sits in the Top 10…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":701956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[341849,316874,341852,341846,2095,64,63,223559,341842,247538,341844,134,2057,341843,2105,341856,341847,341840,341848,341854,28667,2022,341853,254793,275875,2041,2067,3583,341841,341838,341851,341839,341836,341855,341837,341845,427,3586,2614,341850],"class_list":["post-701955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-action-piece","tag-action-series","tag-action-series-returns","tag-amber-todd","tag-america","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-award-winner","tag-british-action-series","tag-christine-salazar","tag-elite-crime-syndicate","tag-entertainment","tag-europe","tag-finale-plot","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-handcuff-business","tag-high-value-inmate","tag-hit-action-thriller","tag-hit-british-series","tag-izuka-hoyle","tag-law-enforcement","tag-london","tag-matt-charman","tag-ncaeditorialbinge","tag-ncaeditorialbingeprogram","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-northern-europe","tag-official-series-trailergolden","tag-plot-twist","tag-police-convoy","tag-prisoner-official-series","tag-prisoner-transport-officer","tag-production-starts","tag-promotioonal-trail","tag-story-changes","tag-tv","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-viral-manspreading-moment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=701955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/701956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
