A decade since the original broadcast of The Night Manager, the BBC espionage series is back, with Tom Hiddleston suiting up again as Jonathan Pine, the MI6 recruit who just can't help himself when it comes to infiltrating nefarious organisations and indulging in the odd love triangle.
Based on John le Carré’s 1993 novel, the 2016 debut run was a stylish, location-hopping, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning success. While initially reticent for a second series, the British / Irish author gave his blessing for a follow-up before his death in 2020, leaving showrunner David Farr with the tantalising but presumably nerve-racking task of living up to the success of the original. And this time, without Hugh Laurie as smarmy arms dealer Richard “Dickie” Roper.
