World on Fire has a return date on PBS. Season one of the British World War II drama aired on PBS in 2020. It was renewed, but production on season two was delayed due to the pandemic. Production finally began on new episodes of the historical drama in July 2022.
The Masterpiece series, written by Patrick Bowker, shows World War II as seen through the eyes of people living in various countries. Lesley Manville, Jonah Hauer-King, Julia Brown, Zofia Wichlacz, Blake Harrison, Eugénie Derouand, Eryk Biedunkiewicz, Cel Spellman, Mark Bonnar, Ahad Raza Mir, and Gregg Sulkin star in the drama.
PBS revealed the following about the upcoming season:
World on Fire is an adrenalized, emotionally gripping World War II drama that follows the intertwining fates of ordinary people across five countries as they grapple with the effects of war on their everyday lives. When the series returns, we’ll join our characters in October 1940, when lone pilots were sent to destroy German bombers as the Northern Blitz began. Audiences will be taken from the streets of Britain into occupied France, Nazi Germany, and to the sands of the North African desert.
Cast & Characters: The diverse cast includes Academy Award(R)-nominee Lesley Manville (Magpie Murders, Phantom Thread) as Robina, Jonah Hauer-King (Little Women, Howard’s End) as Harry, Julia Brown as Lois, Zofia Wichlacz as Kasia, and Blake Harrison as Stan, among others. Joining the cast for Season 2 are Mark Bonnar (Guilt, Line of Duty) as Sir James Danemere, Ahad Raza Mir (Resident Evil, Hum Tum) as Rajib, and Gregg Sulkin (Runaways, Pretty Smart) as David.”
