Tom Hiddleston is officially back in action as Jonathan Pine.
The BBC and Amazon have dropped the first teaser trailer for the second season of The Night Manager, with Hiddleston reprising his role as a former British intelligence operative eight years after the original BAFTA and Emmy-winning season.
The BBC aired The Night Manager Season 2 trailer just before the finale of The Celebrity Traitors, which has been watched by more than 13.2M viewers in the UK.
Pine thought he’d buried his past. Now living as Alex Goodwin – a low-level MI6 officer running a quiet surveillance unit in London – his life is comfortingly uneventful. Then one night a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new player: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva).
On this perilous new journey, Pine meets Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy’s Colombian arms operation. Once 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’s willing to go before it’s too late.
Olivia Colman also returns as Angela Burr alongside Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone and Noah Jupe, with Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi and Hayley Squires joining the cast. Hugh Laurie, Tom Hollander and Elizabeth Debicki, who starred in the first season, are not expected to return.
