Tom Hanks’ World War 2 Film Greyhound Set for Sequel
In 2020, Tom Hanks starred in the film adaptation of CS Forester’s 1955 novel The Good Shepherd, which was released on Apple TV+ to positive reviews. The World War 2 story, titled Greyhound, follows a US Navy commander on his first assignment, leading a multi-national escort destroyer group to defend an Allied convoy from German U-boats. According to The Express, the film is set during the Battle of the Atlantic and stars Hanks as Commander Ernie Krause, a Christian Naval officer whose mission is analogous to Psalm 23.
The Bible poem, written by King David, talks of God as the good shepherd who guides the Old Testament monarch through the valley of the shadow of death as his enemies surround him. As The Express previously reported, the 90-minute thriller received widespread critical acclaim and remains in Apple TV+’s Film Top 10 to this day.
Now, The Express can confirm that Hanks is set to reprise his role in a sequel to Greyhound, set two years after the events of the first film. The sequel will begin with the Greyhound crew at D-Day before heading to the Pacific Theatre. According to Deadline, as reported by The Express, filming is set to commence in January 2026, with Adolescence star Stephen Graham in talks to reprise his role as Lieutenant Commander Charlie Cole.
The sequel to Greyhound has generated significant excitement among fans of the original film, with many eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the story. While a release date has not been confirmed, it is expected that the film will be released on Apple TV+ in 2027. As The Express reported earlier, the original film was a critical and commercial success, and it remains to be seen whether the sequel can replicate this success.
The Express understands that the sequel will explore new themes and storylines, while maintaining the same level of tension and drama that made the original film so compelling. With Tom Hanks at the helm once again, fans of the franchise are optimistic about the prospects for the sequel. As The Express continues to follow the development of the film, we will bring you updates on the production and release.
In conclusion, the sequel to Greyhound is set to be a major release on Apple TV+ in the coming years. With Tom Hanks reprising his role as Commander Ernie Krause and Stephen Graham in talks to return as Lieutenant Commander Charlie Cole, fans of the original film have much to look forward to. As reported by The Express, the film is expected to shoot in January 2026, with a release date likely to be confirmed in the near future.
