“After the success of Season One, I’m thrilled that we’ve been able to reassemble our fantastic cast for this second, action-packed adventure…with the added bonus of Toby Stephens in a key role,” said Anthony Horowitz, author of the Alex Rider franchise.
In season two, Alex wants to return to a normal life, but he’s drawn back into the spy world when a friend’s father is attacked by an old adversary.
