The Action Series Returns For A Second Season
Though it took nearly six months for the news to arrive,Paris Has Fallenseason 2 was confirmed in early March 2025.

Who Will Return In Season 2?
Unlike other shows which clearly establish their ongoing protagonists,the cast ofParis Has Fallenseason 2 isn’t set in stone. Whilethe return of dedicated MI6 officer, Zara (played by Ritu Taylor), is all but confirmedby the end of the season, Vincent’s return is a lot less certain. Tewfik Jallab’s character was the beating heart of season 1, but he quit the force after becoming disillusioned by his relationship with the President (Emmanuelle Bercot). This means he might not come back on the next mission, and even if he does, it won’t be in an official capacity.
The ending of the first season established DCX Capital as the overarching villain, and that means Ana Ularu’s evil henchwoman, Freja, will likely be along for the ride in season 2. Furthermore, DCX Capital’s Richard (John Hopkins) is seen pulling the strings, meaning he could be back to shake things up again for a larger financial profit. If the second season relocates as the finale hinted, that will necessitate a bevy of new characters to fill the void.

Paris Has Fallen Season 2 Story Details
Is DCX Capital Heading To Africa?
The ending ofParis Has Fallenmay have neatly wrapped up (albeit in a cynical way) the storyline of Pearce and his quest for revenge against President Levesque, but it was revealed thatDCX Capital was paying for the entire operation. This was clearly meant to establish the shady business firm as the big-bad of the entire series, and the finale even offered a few hints about what’s coming next. DCX’s Richard called the operative Freya, and invited her to go to Africa on another mission.
if the show does leave the French capital, a name change is likely.
While it’s unclear if and how Zara and Vincent could get involved, it suggests that DCX’s penchant for funding terrorist activities is going to take them to the African continent for more mayhem and destruction. This could allow for the introduction of other international agents, or could somehow unite the forces of good from England, France, and whatever African country ends up being the setting forParis Has Fallenseason 2. Obviously, if the show does leave the French capital, a name change is likely.
