Tom Hiddleston returns as Jonathan Pine in The Night Manager Season 2, which expands the spy thriller into darker, global territory. With no sequel novel, creator David Farr charts a bold new chapter praised for its complexity and ambition

Still from The Night Manager
Nearly a decade after The Night Manager first gripped audiences worldwide on Prime Video, Tom Hiddleston returns to the highly anticipated second season, revisiting one of the most defining roles of his career. This season of the critically acclaimed series expands the world of Jonathan Pine into darker, more dangerous territory. Picking up years after the events of the first season, the new chapter finds Pine drawn back into the shadows of international espionage, navigating shifting identities, fractured loyalties, and a sprawling conspiracy that stretches from London to Colombia. With no sequel novel to lean on, Season 2 boldly pushes the series forward, powered by creator, writer, and executive producer David Farr’s original vision and a formidable new ensemble that includes Diego Calva and Camila Morrone.
Speaking about building a continuation without John le Carré’s source material, Tom Hiddleston expresses his admiration for David Farr’s storytelling ambition, sharing, “David Farr has achieved the impossible. The Night Manager was based on a novel by John le Carré – there was no second novel, no sequel. David has written it with all the sophistication and complexity that le Carré would approve of and admire. Teddy, Roxana, Colombia, Alex Goodwin and Matthew Ellis have all emerged from David’s imagination. This is where he chose to go, and we all followed him there. He’s forensic about detail, and brilliant at the plotting of a complex spy thriller. It feels like a roller-coaster. David’s scripts are exciting, dangerous, edgy, mythic and complex. It’s about personal redemption, about guilt, about shame, about truth.”
