IMDb TV’sAlex Rideris making its return for a second season, and it looks like things are deadlier than ever for the series’ young hero. The streamer has released a new trailer for the second season of the spy drama, based on the young adult book series byAnthony Horowitz, and it looks like the action-adventure series isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to throwing its titular hero (played byOtto Farrant) into the deep end.
The new trailer plays out in typical young adult drama fashion, seeing young Alex Rider attempting to balance life as a student with new secret missions, espionage, and with plenty of people coming after him. Still reeling from the events of the first season, the boy is making a valiant attempt at returning to a normal life and making friends — but when the father of his newest friend, Sabina (Charithra Chandran), is attacked by the man who may have killed his uncle, things quickly spiral out of control as Alex discovers a connection between Sabina’s father, a dangerous hacker, and tech innovator and billionaire Damian Cray (Toby Stephens).
Based on the fourth book in theAlex Riderseries,Eagle Strike, the young boy must unravel a sinister political plot that could have deadly repercussions, all locked inside a seemingly innocent product: a video game.
