Emiliano De Pablos Madrid-based The Mediapro Studio, one of Europe’s super-indies, is re-teaming with Hulu Japan to produce Season 2 of thriller “The Head,” the studio’s hit drama series whose Season 1 was broadcast in more than 90 countries.The English-language shoot has got underway in Tenerife, in Spain’s The Canary Islands, helmed by Jorge Dorado, who directed Season 1.“The Head” Season 2 boasts an extensive international cast led once again by John Lynch (“The Terror,” “The Fall”) and Katharine O’Donnelly (“Mary, Queen of Scots”).Joining them for Season 2, the series features Hovik Keuchkerian (“Money Heist,” “Riot Police”), Moe Dunford (“Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), Josefin Nelden (“The Restaurant”) and Olivia Morris (“Hotel Portofino”).

Season 2’s newest additions in leading roles take in Enrique Arce (“Money Heist,” “Rifkin’s Festival”), Nora Ríos (“Caliphate,” “Heartbeats”) and Tania Watson (“Now and Then,” “Pioneras,” “The Minions of Midas”), Thierry Godard (“Oussekine,” “A French Case”) and the special collaboration of Japan’s Sota Fukushi (“Bleach”).If Season 1 was set at a remote polar research station, the principal setting for “The Head” Season 2 will once again be an isolated and inaccessible location, this time a huge freighter carrying a scientific mission as it sails the ocean, where the confrontation between good and evil that already marked the storyline of the first instalment of the series will rear its head once more.With several weeks of filming in Tenerife and a large cargo ship as the main stage of the plot, the production of the new season will later return to Madrid to complete filming interiors at an impressive location that will reproduce the laboratory of a ship on a scientific mission as.
