Alex Rider is officially a go for works at Sony Pictures.
Alex Rider is a teen superspy series of novels that are sold around 20M copies worldwide. It is coming to the small screen in an eight-part series from Eleventh Hour Films and Sony Pictures, with the Hollywood studio using a new funding model to set up the drama before taking it out to international buyers later this year.
The Amazon Prime Video show makes some massive changes to Anthony Horowitz’s books.
The companies have unveiled the first trailer for the series, which stars Mrs. Wilson’s Otto Farrant as the eponymous teen spy.

The show follows the titular Otto Farrant, who discovers a family legacy in the spy game after his late uncle seemingly dies under mysterious circumstances. Subsequently recruited by MI6 subdivision the Department of Special Operations, Alex undergoes a transformative training process for a job that uproots his adolescent life. Otto goes on to infiltrate places that others are unable to.
The renewal came around shortly after the TV series made its debut on June 4. However, while it has yet to arrive in most countries, including the U.S., Sony is reportedly close to landing a deal for platforms in the U.S., Australia, and China.
Alex Rider Season 2 Release Date
Alex Rider doesn’t have an official release date for Season 2. As of now. Reportedly, production company Eleventh Hour is reportedly planning to resume production sometime later this year. Consequently, it will be at least a full year from the June 2020 premiere before Season 2 would conceivably arrive, making summer 2021 the earliest possible premiere window.
