Prime Video and BBC are working on a second season of The Night Manager, a series adaptation of John le Carré’s 1993 novel of the same name. They are yet to release a formal announcement for the series renewal. However, according to reports, the series will get a two-season renewal. Filming will start later this year with a script by David Farr, who wrote the first season.
The show centers on Pine, a former British soldier and night manager of a five-star hotel in Cairo who is hired by the manager of a Foreign Office taskforce to infiltrate Roper’s inner circle. In the upcoming sophomore season, Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role as Jonathan Pine, the hotel manager who got involved in a deadly duel with arms dealer Richard Roper. The Syrians took Roper at the conclusion of Season 1, and now Pine must contend with a new and even deadlier threat.
Season one premiered on Feb 21, 2016. Alongside Hiddleston, the cast includes Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, and Elizabeth Debicki. BBC will co-produce the upcoming season, just like the first. However, unlike the first, which was co-produced by and aired on AMC, this season is being produced for Prime Video.
Susanne Bier serves as the director. David Farr, Susanne Bier, Simon Cornwell, Stephen Cornwell, John le Carré, Stephen Garrett are the EPs for The Night Manager.
