Synopsis
The Assassin (2025), Season 1 — a six-episode crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, with retired killer Julie holed up on a quiet Greek island until her grown son Edward turns up.
Edward came from England carrying questions: about the father he never knew, and the mother who never explained herself. The heart-to-heart never quite lands — Julie's past catches up first, and the two are forced off the island and on the run. Six episodes chase them across Europe, through borrowed homes, an old partner's sudden arrival, a harbor town, a police manhunt and Interpol on the trail. Julie dusts off skills she'd buried; Edward discovers a few of his own.
Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore lead, and the show leans on their prickly mother-son chemistry more than on any shootout. Stream The Assassin Season 1 online on iFILM.
