While Tom Hiddleston might be best known for his role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, arguably one of his best works was for the series “The Night Manager,” released in 2016. While it was deemed as a miniseries, the show has been renewed for a highly-anticipated second season.
However, Hiddleston is not the only star that appeared in the spy drama. The cast also included award-winning actors Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, David Harewood and Elizabeth Debicki. And behind the camera, it was directed by Susanne Bier, who won an Emmy for the first season.
Adapted from John le Carré’s 1993 novel of the same name, the series follows the journey of Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston), a former British soldier turned night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo, who is recruited by Angela Burr, an intelligence operative played by Colman, to infiltrate the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Roper, portrayed by Laurie. Here’s what we know about the second season of the series.
Who is in the cast of ‘The Night Manager’ Season 2?
Hiddleston will reprise his role as Jonathan Pine, as well as Colman, who will return for her Emmy-nominated role of Angela Burr. The other returning cast include: Alistair Petrie (“Sex Education,” “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) as Alexander “Sandy” Langbourne; Douglas Hodge (“Joker,” “Black Mirror”) as Rex Mayhew; Michael Nardone (“Traces,” “Rome”) as Frisky; and Noah Jupe (“A Quiet Place,” “Honey Boy”) as Danny Roper.

However, there are new additions to the cast, as well. Camila Morrone (“Daisy Jones & The Six”, Marmalade”), Diego Calva (“Babylon”), Indira Varma (“Game of Thrones”), Paul Chahidi (“The Serpent Queen”) and Hayley Squires (“Beau Is Afraid”) complete the cast for now.
What is the plot of ‘The Night Manager’ Season 2?
According to Variety, there are no details about the plot but, judging from the return of certain characters, it seems like there’s unfinished business with the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Roper. Also, BBC confirmed that the season will be written by series creator David Farr, who also wrote the first installment.
When and how can I watch Season 2 of ‘The Night Manager’?
No release date has been announced yet, but we do know that The Night Manager season two will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, and globally on Prime Video. So, stay tuned for news about the second installment.
