In the light of the success of the first season of Canal+ spin-off series for the Has Fallen franchise, a second season has been greenlit a second round of ballistic action for fans of the franchise. The initial trilogy of movies starred Gerard Butler as Secret Service bad ass Mike Banning and the series spawned off the movies introducing new characters and locales into the universe.

According to the renewal announcement, Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada revealed that a second Has Fallen season has not only been greenlit, but it is already in production as we speak in the UK. The inaugural set of shows took place in the French capital with some of the action taking place in London. Saada made the renewal announcement during a meeting involving the Canal+’s preliminary full-year 2024 results.

There is no other intel to report on the second season and there is no word on whether those involved in the last season are returning or if there will be a new slate of actors taking over. The first round consisted of “Vincent Taleb (Tewfik Jallab), a protection officer to a French Minister, the target of a terror group. Vincent worked with MI6 operative Zara (Ritu Arya) to keep the politician safe, but they eventually unravelled a wider plot, suspecting that a security service colleague was feeding information to the terror group’s leader, who was always a step ahead in his mission to bring down Paris.”

Butler, of course, made the franchise what it was starring in the three films starting with 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen and continued with London Has Fallen and culminating with Angel Has Fallen. Butler was supposed to make a fourth film in the series but legal issues between the star and the company cooled things off and then the writers and actor strike interfered as well. As of now, they are saying that Butler will still make a new entry but there is no word of that happening yet. Butler’s character Mike Banning was this generation’s John McClane like I always have said as Banning had that old school, unapologetic attitude, swagger and bravado that Bruce Willis’ iconic cop did in the legendary Die Hard films. Even though the series is still going forward, hopefully Butler will revisit the role again.

Once there is more to tell on the new set of episodes. we will have it for you but in the meantime, the first season of the Has Fallen franchise is now streaming on HULU.
