The third season of the Has Fallen television series, titled Shadow Has Fallen, is now in production following the second season, Paris Has Fallen, and the upcoming film Apollo Has Fallen. Production companies StudioCanal, Urban Myth Films, Millennium, and G-Base announced the start of filming earlier this week, with the six-episode season shooting across South Africa and the United Kingdom.
Ritu Arya and Tewfik Jallab return to their roles as MI6 operative Zara Taylor and former French Secret Service agent Vincent Taleb respectively. The new installment adds Iwan Rheon, known for appearances in Game of Thrones and Misfits, Brendan Coyle from Downton Abbey, and Atandwa Kani, who appeared in Black Panther, to the cast roster. Additional cast members are expected to be announced at a later date.
Howard Overman, the series creator, returns as writer for the six-episode season of approximately 52 minutes per episode. Overman indicated that the storyline represents an escalation from previous seasons, with the main characters facing their most demanding and morally complex assignment in Southern Africa. Directors Marco Kreuzpaintner and Alice Troughton have been attached to helm episodes.
The production emerges as part of StudioCanal’s expanded operations in South Africa, following the parent company Canal+ Group’s acquisition of MultiChoice Group, a major African pay-television provider. The studio noted that Shadow Has Fallen represents its second major production launched in the country, alongside the feature film The Road Home, which is completing filming in the region.
