Tom Hiddleston Returns in The Night Manager Season 2
Nearly a decade after its first explosive debut, The Night Manager is finally back — and the heat is on once again. The BBC and Amazon Prime Video have just dropped the first trailer for Season 2, confirming that Tom Hiddleston will return as the ever-mysterious Jonathan Pine. Fans won’t have to wait long either — the series will premiere on BBC iPlayer in the UK on January 1, and globally on Prime Video from January 11.
Based on the characters created by the late John le Carré, the story picks up eight years after the events of the original season. Jonathan Pine, once a luxury hotel night manager turned undercover operative, has been living quietly in London under a new name — Alex Goodwin — working as a low-level MI6 officer running a routine surveillance unit. But peace doesn’t last long. One night, Pine spots an old mercenary connected to the villainous Richard Roper, dragging him back into the dangerous world he thought he’d left behind.
This chance encounter leads Pine into a violent new mission involving a Colombian businessman, Teddy Dos Santos, played by Diego Calva. To infiltrate Teddy’s powerful arms operation, Pine joins forces with Roxana Bolaños, portrayed by Camila Morrone, a resourceful businesswoman with her own reasons for getting involved. Together, they’re pulled deep into a deadly conspiracy — one designed to destabilize an entire nation.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Betrayal lurks around every corner, and Pine must once again decide whom to trust, how far to go, and what he’s willing to lose. Olivia Colman returns as the sharp-minded MI6 agent Angela Burr, while the cast also includes Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, and Noah Jupe, alongside newcomers Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi, and Hayley Squires. Notably, original stars Hugh Laurie, Tom Hollander, and Elizabeth Debicki will not be returning.
Creator and executive producer David Farr, who dreamed up the story for the second season shortly before le Carré’s passing, has reimagined Pine’s world for a darker, more cynical era. Director Georgi Banks-Davies takes the helm this time, with filming spanning across the UK, Spain, Colombia, and France — promising the same globe-trotting intrigue and lavish tension that defined the first season.
Hiddleston himself has described Pine as older and more scarred — both inside and out — after years of hiding from his past. Yet, beneath the calm exterior, his old sense of justice still burns. The Night Manager was never just about espionage; it was about morality, identity, and the thin line between duty and obsession. And now, as the series returns, those questions feel more relevant than ever.
Season 2 of The Night Manager marks a long-awaited return to the shadowy world of double agents, deception, and moral reckoning — where every choice could mean salvation or destruction.
