Jonathan Pine is drawn back into danger once again, as Tom Hiddleston reprises his role in the newly released trailer for season two of The Night Manager. Now posing as Alex Goodwin, a seemingly insignificant MI6 employee living quietly in London, Pine’s cover is shattered when he recognises a former Richard Roper mercenary—a moment that pulls him straight into the orbit of Colombian arms trafficker Teddy Dos Santos, portrayed by Diego Calva.
Angela Burr, once again played by Olivia Colman, urges Pine to step back into fieldwork. Their partnership, however, shows clear strain. As Pine attempts to infiltrate Dos Santos’ network, he enlists the reluctant help of Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a sharp-witted businesswoman who guides him into the criminal operation. What begins as a covert mission quickly becomes a fight for survival as Pine uncovers a scheme involving the training of a guerrilla army — and finds himself navigating double-crosses on all sides.
According to the producers, Pine must expose a conspiracy capable of destabilising an entire country, forcing him to question every alliance and decide which loyalties are worth risking his life for.
Prime Video and the BBC will launch the first three episodes on January 11, with new episodes arriving each Sunday until the February 1 finale. The series will stream worldwide on Prime Video and air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK. Hiddleston also joins the executive producer roster this season.
Season two adds Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi and Hayley Squires in new roles, while returning cast members include Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone and Noah Jupe. Based on characters created by John le Carré, the new season is spearheaded by creator and executive producer David Farr and directed by Georgi Banks-Davies.
The show is produced by The Ink Factory in association with Character 7, Demarest Films and 127 Wall, alongside a co-production with Spain’s Nostromo Pictures. Executive producers include Stephen Garrett, Stephen Cornwell, Simon Cornwell, Michele Wolkoff, Tessa Inkelaar, Joe Tsai, Arthur Wang, Adrián Guerra, Banks-Davies, Hugh Laurie, William D Johnson, Nick Cornwell, Susanne Bier, Chris Rice and Gaynor Holmes.
