World On Fire 2023 next episode and how to watch new series online

World On Fire is back for a new series in 2023- here’s how to watch on TV and online.

The war drama first aired in 2019 and a brand new series is finally on its way to BBC One this month.

A teaser for the new episodes shares: “RAF pilots are sent to destroy German bombers prowling the skies above Manchester, with rescue operations underway on the streets below. The true reality of war has arrived in Britain.

“Telling the story of World War Two through the eyes of ordinary people, following intrepid young heroes fighting for freedom, series two will take viewers from the war-torn streets of Britain deep into Nazi Germany, the resistance within occupied France, and the brutal sands of the North African desert – where troops struggle to adapt to a very different kind of combat.
