The Night Manager renewed for two more seasons with Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston is all set to reprise his role as Jonathan Pine in the new seasons of the hit series The Night Manager. BBC and Prime Video are bringing back the series for two new seasons and the show will pick up eight years after the events of the season one finale.

Filming is expected to begin later this year on the revival of the hit drama series, which is inspired by the characters in John le Carré’s bestselling novel of the same name in 1993.

Series creator David Farr is also set to return as writer with BAFTA winner Georgi Banks-Davies attached to direct all six episodes of Season 2. Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, who starred in the first season, will also be executive producers.

The season two of The Night Manager will begin filming this year. Other details regarding the cast and the plot are not revealed yet.

In an interview with Renewal, Tom said, "The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on. The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect."

"I’m so looking forward to reuniting with Simon and Stephen Cornwell, David Farr and Stephen Garrett, and to working with Georgi Banks-Davies to tell the next chapter of our story. I can’t wait," he added.

The Night Manager season one, first aired in 2016, followed Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston), a former British soldier and night manager of a hotel in Cairo who’s recruited to help take down an arms dealer (Laurie). The first season also starred Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander and Elizabeth Debicki. It was nominated for 12 Emmys and won two (including one for director Susanne Bier) and also won three BAFTA TV awards.
