World on Fire Season 2 Episode 1: Release Date, Preview & Streaming Guide

The release date for World on Fire Season 2 Episode 1 is here. The first seven episodes of World on Fire, which was initially shown in 2019, were set against the backdrop of a burgeoning World War II and the German invasion of Poland and France.

Its second season has been a long time coming after significant setbacks caused by the COVID-19 breakout, and it ends on something of a cliffhanger. The second season of World on Fire features the return of Harry (Jonah Hauer-King, The Little Mermaid).

A British interpreter and soldier, Kasia (Zofia Wichacz), a member of the Polish Resistance, centers on the complicated lives of everyday people throughout Europe as it was engulfed by World War II and the infiltration of the Nazi regime. Following a German ambush, the duo got back together in the season finale, and their journey will continue in the forthcoming second season.

Along with Lesley Manville, who plays Robina Chase, Harry’s mother, Julia Brown will resume her role as Lois Bennett, Harry’s boyhood sweetheart and a vocalist for the Entertainments National Service Association.

Returning to the war-torn streets of Britain, this series depicts the atrocities of Nazi Germany, the French resistance, and the bloody battles in the North African desert through the eyes of everyday people and heroes battling for freedom.

Alongside Indian Sappers and Australian Diggers, the forces are continually trying to adjust to a radically different sort of battle in the Sahara.

Since the first season ended with Harry and Kasia narrowly escaping a Nazi ambush in Poland and being followed by Nazi soldiers, viewers are curious as to what happened to them. In the meantime, Lois gave birth to Harry’s child and accepted RAF fighter pilot Vernon Hunter’s proposal.

Season 2 will see a change in setting, starting in October 1940 and concentrating on Manchester during the Blitz as well as going back to occupied France, Nazi Germany, and the North African War, which took place between 1940 and 1943 and is a lesser-known period of history.
