For anyone who missed the series premiere’s one-day window, or who simply wants to know more about Hanna before its official Prime premiere at the end of March, the new trailer will likely be enough to pique their interest. And that’s for anyone who wasn’t already on board for a television retelling Joe Wright’s 2011 thriller that will replace Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchette, and Eric Bana, with Esme Creed-Miles, Mireille Enos, and Joel Kinnaman. That’s right, this new series also functions as a The Killing reunion of sorts.

That reunion won’t be much of a happy one, as Enos’s Marissa and Kinnaman’s Erik are on opposing sides, with Erik having absconded into the Romanian wilderness with an infant Hanna some 15 years prior. As the trailer demonstrates very quickly, however, Erik and Marissa’s brief encounter was enough to set both of their lives on a startlingly different course. Check out the full trailer for Hanna below:
That opening scene is very similar to the one in the original film wherein Hanna, once captured, dupes a fake Marissa into an embrace that leads to her untimely death. So far, it seems as though this re-creation of the movie’s main events will be a large part of how the television series plays out. That comes with some pluses and minuses, inasmuch as the first season might just be a re-telling of the film, with possible subsequent seasons expanding on its title character’s story. And, given that the series cast both Kinnaman and Enos, it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility that their characters’ stories won’t end the same way they do in the film.
