A third season of the action thriller TV franchise “Has Fallen” is in production, with StudioCanal announcing “Shadow Has Fallen.” The series, a spin-off that builds on the Gerard Butler film franchise and the earlier seasons “Paris Has Fallen” and “Apollo Has Fallen,” is set in South Africa. Filming has started for the next installment.
Ritu Arya and Tewfik Jallab return for season 3, reprising roles from the earlier TV series. The new season also adds Iwan Rheon, Brendan Coyle, and Atandwa Kani to the cast, joining the returning leads. Across the coverage, the focus is on the franchise expansion and the new ensemble, as well as continuity in bringing back Arya and Jallab. Deadline further frames the announcement as part of a larger release plan, noting that “Paris Has Fallen” and “Apollo Has Fallen” are part of the franchise’s established TV line and that season 3 is scheduled for this fall.
The different outlets primarily vary in emphasis: one highlights the specific cast additions and the production start, while the other ties the announcement more directly to the franchise timeline and upcoming premiere window.
