Nearly ten years after its original broadcast, The Night Manager is making a comeback with an episode 2 season, set to premiere on January 11, 2026. Created by David Farr, the espionage series returns with Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Jonathan Pine, now supported by Camila Morrone and Diego Calva. This new season will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, and on Prime Video in over 240 territories worldwide.
Inspired by John le Carré’s world, the series made a mark in 2016 as a stylish and tense espionage thriller, earning critical acclaim and securing awards at the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards. Originally conceived as a mini-series, The Night Manager takes a new narrative direction here, continuing the story of its protagonist beyond the showdown with Richard Roper.
In this second season, Jonathan Pine assumes a new identity as Alex Goodwin and is employed by a covert MI6 surveillance unit in London. His efforts to lead a quiet, undercover life are turned upside down when a former mercenary connected to his past reemerges. This encounter introduces him to a new foe: Teddy Dos Santos, a Colombian businessman orchestrating an extensive arms smuggling operation.
To infiltrate this organization, Pine relies on the help of Roxana Bolaños, played by Camila Morrone, a businesswoman caught in a criminal system that’s beyond her control. The investigation leads the protagonist to Colombia, deep into a plot involving illegal arms trades, militia training, and political destabilization. As alliances begin to fracture, Pine must maneuver through lies, manipulation, and tough moral decisions.
Unlike the first season, which was a direct adaptation of the novel The Night Manager, this follow-up is based on an original storyline crafted by David Farr. Nonetheless, it stays true to the series' core elements: a keen sense of political realism, understated direction, and an exploration of the gray areas of international intelligence work. The tone remains that of an adult espionage thriller, focusing on ethical dilemmas and the personal toll of clandestine missions.
Tom Hiddleston returns to a role that earned him the Golden Globe for Best Actor in 2017. He is joined by Diego Calva, cast as the new antagonist, and Camila Morrone, portraying a complex ally. The series is brought to life by an international team of executive producers, including Hugh Laurie, Susanne Bier, Stephen Garrett, and Simon Cornwell, ensuring a seamless creative continuity with the first season.
Season 2 of The Night Manager is perfect for fans of realistic spy series, political thrillers, and intricate undercover stories. It’s sure to appeal both to those who loved the first season and to viewers who enjoy series along the lines of The Little Drummer Girl, Bodyguard, or Slow Horses.
