**Sydney, Australia** – Tom Hanks is set to reprise his role as Captain Krause in the sequel to Apple’s World War II film, *Greyhound*. Production is slated to begin in Sydney, Australia, in January 2026. Hanks, who also penned the script, will once again lead the cast, with director Aaron Schneider and producer Gary Goetzman also returning.

The sequel, a continuation of the 2020 film based on C.S. Forester’s novel *The Good Shepherd*, will follow Captain Krause and the Greyhound crew as they navigate the Pacific theater, following their actions off the Normandy beaches. Key cast members from the original film, including Stephen Graham (fresh off his acclaimed performance in Netflix’s *Adolescence*), are in talks to return.

*Greyhound*, which received positive reviews, depicted the perilous journey of an inexperienced U.S. Navy commander leading an Allied convoy through a German U-boat wolfpack during the Battle of the Atlantic. The sequel promises to continue the thrilling action and dramatic tension of the original. This project marks another collaboration between Hanks and Goetzman’s Playtone production company and Apple, following their work on the WWII series *Masters of the Air*. While the production team has declined to comment, anticipation is high for the continuation of this compelling war saga.
