It\u2019s been almost a decade since The Night Manager first premiered<\/a>, but Tom Hiddleston is finally back as \u201cthe man who will not explode,\u201d as he describes himself in the teaser trailer. The long-gestating second season will premiere January 11 on Prime Video, and sees Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) tangling with dangerous new characters in Colombia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Olivia Colman also returns for the new season, in addition to new characters like Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva) and business woman Roxana Bola\u00f1os (Camila Morrone), who \u201creluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy\u2019s Colombian arms operation,\u201d per a synopsis (via <\/a>Deadline<\/a>). \u201cOnce in Colombia, Pine is plunged deep into a deadly plot involving arms and training of a guerrilla army. As allegiances splinter, Pine races to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilise a nation. And with betrayal at every turn, he must decide whose trust he needs to earn and how far he\u2019s willing to go before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original Night Manager was based on the novel of the same name by John le Carr\u00e9. When the BBC announced the second season, the show\u2019s writer and creator said in a statement<\/a>, \u201cI did not tread lightly into extending The Night Manager beyond the original book, but an idea came to me a couple of years ago which felt truthful to that unique world of dark corners and shady identities. No one marries the suspense of espionage with a deep exploration of the human soul quite like le Carr\u00e9. I hope that in some way we can pay homage to his uneasy genius in this new exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, Hiddleston explained in 2024 to Variety (via <\/a>DigitalSpy<\/a>), \u201cWe took the time to try and get the story right. Principally, John le Carr\u00e9 seemed so happy with our adaptation the first time and that was such a relief. So if we were to go again we needed to find the right story.\u201d He added that what he\u2019s \u201creally excited by is eight or nine years have passed since the first season and these characters have been alive in the world in the last eight or nine years, and hopefully our show will reflect that. So Jonathan Pine\u2014le Carr\u00e9 calls him the close observer\u2014has been alive in the world, and he will be eight or nine years older, just as I am.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been almost a decade since The Night Manager first premiered, but Tom Hiddleston is finally back as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-123763","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
