The Night Manager season 2 has already started in the UK, with the first two episodes dropping on January 1 and January 4. Episode 3 airs on January 11.
For US viewers, the first three episodes drop on January 11 before switching to a weekly Sunday schedule, lining up with the UK’s. There will not be a BBC iPlayer boxset drop for this, so that’s bad news for binge watchers.
From episode 3 onwards, here’s what the release schedule looks like for everyone:

This 2-minute trailer might be short, but it teases a whole lot. There’s explosions, familiar faces, new arrivals and even a flash of Hugh Laurie’s Richard Roper from season 2.
It also teases that “the past is a deadly weapon”, so it’s a dramatic return like you might expect from a show that has been gone for so long. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to dive straight back in.

A lot of time has passed in the real world, and the same can be said for The Night Manager, where season 2 picks up eight years after the first.
When we pick up again, Roper is dead, and Pine has been keeping a low profile under a new alias Alex Goodwin. But just when he thinks he’s buried the past, a “chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action”, according to the official synopsis.
This leads to a violent encounter with a new player, Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva). On this new journey, Pine meets Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy’s Colombian arms operation.
Pine races to expose a conspiracy, but with betrayal at every turn, he must “decide whose trust he needs to earn and how far he’s willing to go before it’s too late”. So it’s exciting stuff.
Will there be a season 3 of The Night Manager?

Yes, according to reports by Deadline, “the BBC and new co-pro partner Amazon have gone big on a supercharged two-season order of the thriller.”
So we can expect to see at least one more season of The Night Manager, and hopefully we don’t have such a long gap for this one! We’ll have to wait for further reports to find out when it might arrive.
In an interview with Variety, director Georgi Banks-Davies said: “There was a third season that was always in the offing. David [Farr] is writing it now — he’s at the coalface and in the early stage. But yeah, when the second season came the plan was to go to three.”
