After nearly a decade, The Night Manager<\/a> is back \u2014 and Tom Hiddleston\u2019s Jonathan Pine<\/a> has a new name, a new life, and a new mission. Prime Video has unveiled the first official images from The Night Manager Season 2, which sees Hiddleston and Olivia Colman return for a fresh six-episode story premiering on the streamer worldwide (and on BBC\/BBC iPlayer in the UK).<\/p>\n

The second season picks up eight years after<\/a> Pine last faced off against Hugh Laurie\u2019s arms dealer Richard Roper \u2014 a battle that ended with Roper\u2019s arrest and Pine\u2019s cover blown. Now living under the alias Alex Goodwin, Pine has traded luxury hotels for the shadows of a quiet MI6 surveillance unit in London. But when a chance encounter with one of Roper\u2019s former mercenaries<\/a> pulls him back into the world of espionage, Pine finds himself deep in a new conspiracy stretching from Colombia to Europe. Should be good for his airmiles, if nothing else?<\/p>\n

Joining Hiddleston and Colman is Camila Morrone<\/a>, who plays Roxana Bola\u00f1os, a businesswoman reluctantly drawn into Pine\u2019s investigation of Colombian industrialist Teddy Dos Santos, played by Babylon\u2019s Diego Calva. According to executive producer Stephen Garrett, Roxy is \u201ca creature of her own destiny,\u201d signaling that Season 2 aims to avoid the genre\u2019s familiar damsel tropes. \u201cWe wanted the female characters in this to be every bit as complex as the men,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

What Is ‘The Night Manager’ Season 2 About?<\/p>\n

Unlike the first season, which was adapted directly from John le Carr\u00e9\u2019s 1993 novel<\/a>, The Night Manager Season 2 ventures into uncharted territory. There was no sequel to the original book, and the idea came to Farr in 2020, on the same night the celebrated author passed away at age 89. Farr shared his dream-born pitch with le Carr\u00e9\u2019s sons, Simon and Stephen Cornwell, who run the Ink Factory, the company behind all of their father\u2019s adaptations. \u201cMy dad\u2019s letter said, \u2018You know what I stand for\u2026 but only you can figure out where to go next,\u2019\u201d Simon told Vanity Fair<\/a>. \u201cThat is sort of the invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hiddleston still remembers his first conversation with le Carr\u00e9 before filming the original series: \u201cI saddled up to him and said, \u2018Is there anything you\u2019d like me to know before we begin?\u2019\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd he said, with a twinkle in his eye, \u2018Well, of course, Tom, you would have guessed by now that Jonathan Pine is me \u2014 and now he must be you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Season 2 isn\u2019t the end \u2014 the Cornwells confirmed that a third season was greenlit alongside it. \u201cGreat stories often come in threes,\u201d Simon teased. \u201cIf you liked Season 1 and were really drawn to Season 2, you are going to be blown away by Season 3.\u201d<\/p>\n
