Introducing Season 2 of Londongrad: Iran's Hit Squads.

Award-winning investigative reporter Paul Caruana Galizia returns to report the story of the foiled assassination attempts on British soil of Iranian nationals. Since January 2022, there has been an attempted assassination or kidnap at least once a month – all ordered by the Iranian government.

In this four-part series, Paul will delve into how these attempts unfolded, why they have become so prevalent and who is behind them. It's a story about Iran, about freedom of the press, but most of all, it’s about Britain – who the country chooses to protect and why.

By digging into Prince Harry’s court filings, Paul and producer Katie Gunning attempt to understand his case against the British tabloid press.

What is the ultimate aim of his legal claims? Is it really about press reform or, simply, revenge?
