The Assassin: Season 2

The second season of Prime Video's action thriller series 'The Assassin' returns with another gripping instalment of high-stakes drama, following Julie and Edward Green as they become caught up in a dangerous new adventure across Europe. Created by Harry and Jack Williams and starring Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore, the series sees the unlikely mother-and-son duo drawn into Spain's criminal underworld, facing new threats and escalating danger.

Vine FX delivered extensive VFX work for the production, creating a range of seamless and realistic visual effects that enhanced the series' action sequences and international settings. Our work included complex digital matte painting and set extensions, transforming real-world filming locations to represent different countries, alongside significant enhancements to skylines, foliage and surrounding environments. We also completed an extensive wedding venue set extension, screen replacements across laptops and mobile devices, and detailed prep and paint work. A range of action-focused effects included blood FX, muzzle flashes, bullet impacts, bullet wounds and explosions, as well as smoke FX for sequences involving SWAT teams. Additional enhancements helped heighten the tension and sense of danger within practical footage, including digitally altering environments and narrowing ledges to increase the perceived risk. All work was seamlessly integrated into the live-action plates, helping bring the series' fast-paced and cinematic world to life.
