Who does Jonah play in BBC1's World on Fire?
Viewers will see Jonah play Harry Chase, a young man who works in the British embassy in Warsaw.
Harry has quite the complicated love life: although being in a relationship with Louis Bennett before he relocated to Poland, he’s started seeing a waitress named Kasia.
“When we meet him we learn that he’s fallen down the rabbit hole of falling in love with two people,” Hauer-King shared.
“It’s not so much an affair as it is being in a strange position… Harry has a lot of good intentions and a lot of love and compassion in him
“But at the beginning of the series he’s also deeply flawed so I don’t want to defend him too much!”
How can you watch World on Fire?
The good news is you can watch the series VERY SOON.
That's right, the new seven-parter will debut THIS SUNDAY (29 September, 2019) on BBC1.
And will continue each week at the same time in one hour long episodes.
Filming took place across Prague, Manchester and Paris.
The drama is produced by Mammoth Screen — the same company behind Poldark, And Then There Were None and Parade’s End.
What's World on Fire about?
The BBC says the drama tells the story of World War Two through the lives of ordinary people.
The first series will reflect on the first year of the war.
It will start with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 and end with the Battle of Britain.
Writer Peter Bowker says: “World On Fire tells the hidden human stories within the big historical events we think we know.
"From Harry, a young English translator in Warsaw caught up in negotiations with the Nazis and trying to smuggle his Polish lover Kasia out of the country, to Lois, the girl who is waiting for him at home, a young Mancunian factory worker who will come to take all the opportunities the war can offer to live a different kind of life.
"To Nancy, a female US war correspondent who can’t find peace unless her life is at risk, to the Rossler family in Berlin, worried for their soldier son and willing to do anything to protect their disabled daughter from the attentions of the ruling Nazi regime.
