Studiocanal, Urban Myth Films, Millennium, and G-Base have announced that filming has commenced on Shadow Has Fallen, a CANAL+ Original Creation, with principal photography taking place in the UK and South Africa.
Shadow Has Fallen follows Paris Has Fallen which sold to 170+ territories worldwide distributed by STUDIOCANAL and with the global tx of Apollo Has Fallen this Autumn 2026.
Shadow Has Fallen continues the high-octane series Paris Has Fallen and Apollo Has Fallen and Gerard Butler’s Has Fallen film franchise.
Ritu Arya (The Umbrella Academy, Polite Society) & Tewfik Jallab (Spiral, Dark Hearts) reprise their respective roles as fearless MI6 operative Zara Taylor (Arya) and former French Secret Service agent Vincent Taleb (Jallab).
Joining the cast for season 3 are Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones, Misfits), Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey, Hit Point) & Atandwa Kani (Black Panther, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom).
When a prison bus is ambushed in a sudden, brutal attack in Mozambique, an unassuming British prisoner, Miles (Iwan Rheon) is extracted by Vincent and Zara, igniting a chain reaction that will threaten global infrastructure, world leaders, and the very idea of government itself. Miles is a whistle-blower who has in his possession a totally untraceable, unstoppable cyber weapon capable of hijacking any computerised system, from banks to military drones. He helped the British government to develop the cyber weapon, but now he has stolen it. The question is, why? And whose side is he on…
The new six-episode season (6 x 52’) is once again written by series creator Howard Overman (War of The Worlds, Misfits, Hit Point) who comments “There’s a scale to Season 3 that we’ve been building towards since PARIS HAS FALLEN, and all of us at Urban Myth Films are thrilled that STUDIOCANAL chose to back the future of this franchise in such a timely fashion. SHADOW HAS FALLEN will see Vincent and Zara embark on their most demanding and morally challenging mission – a mission that takes them into the very heart of Southern Africa.
Marco Kreuzpaintner (Bodies, The Lazarus Project) & Alice Troughton (The Living and The Dead, Cucumber, Dr Who) are attached to direct.
Expanding upon the HAS FALLEN cinematic universe (Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, Angel Has Fallen), SHADOW HAS FALLEN is an Urban Myth Films production for STUDIOCANAL & the CANAL+ Group, in partnership with STUDIOCANAL, Millennium and G-BASE, with Producer Julian Murphy and Executive Producers Johnny Capps and Howard Overman for Urban Myth Films, M-K Kennedy and Daniel Gratton for STUDIOCANAL, Gerard Butler & Alan Siegel for G-BASE, Avi Lerner, Jonathan Yunger & Yariv Lerner for Millennium.
STUDIOCANAL distributes the series internationally.
