According to Tom Hiddleston , The Night Manager season two is exciting like a roller-coaster ride. Created by David Farr, the second season is set to premiere on Prime Video on January 11.
"David Farr has achieved the impossible. The Night Manager was based on a novel by John le Carre – there was no second novel, no sequel. David has written it with all the sophistication and complexity that le Carre would approve of and admire. Teddy, Roxana, Colombia, Alex Goodwin and Matthew Ellis have all emerged from David’s imagination," said Hiddleston, who added, "This is where he chose to go, and we all followed him there. He’s forensic about detail, and brilliant at the plotting of a complex spy thriller. It feels like a roller-coaster. David’s scripts are exciting, dangerous, edgy, mythic and complex. It’s about personal redemption, about guilt, about shame, about truth."
Hiddleston is also all praise for his co stars, Diego Calva and Camila Morrone. "I have been blown away by their work in this. They've taken what's on the page and given it an extra dimension, in every conceivable aspect," said the actor.
Speaking about Calva's character, Teddy dos Santos, Hiddleston said, "There is a strain of ruthlessness in him, initially. He's hard and he's tough - someone you don't want to mess with. But in Diego's characterisation, behind that toughness is an incredibly vulnerable interior. As an opposite number for me and for Pine, Diego is majestic: thoughtful and sensitive."
"Camila has just thrown her whole soul at this character. Camila's performance is so instinctive and has a magnetism; it's fiery and unpredictable," said Hiddleston about Morrone, who plays Roxana Bolanos.
The cast for The Night Manager season two includes Olivia Colman, Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone, Noah Jupe, Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi, and Hayley Squires.
