The BBC has revealed the official trailer for The Night Manager series 2, and confirmed the date

We’ve only just had the first look images, for The Night Manager series 2, and fans of The Celebrity Traitors had a teaser trailer just ahead of the recent finale. Now we have the official trailer.

What is series 2 about

Based on the characters created by John le Carré, The Night Manager follows MI6 officer Jonathan Pine as he races to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilise a nation. And with betrayal at every turn, he must decide whose trust he needs to earn and how far he’s willing to go before it’s too late.

Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) thought he’d buried his past. Now living as Alex Goodwin — a low-level MI6 officer running a quiet surveillance unit in London – his life is comfortingly uneventful. Then one night a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new player: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva).

On this perilous new journey, Pine meets Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy’s Colombian arms operation. Once in Colombia, Pine is plunged deep into a deadly plot involving arms and training of a guerrilla army.

You can watch the new series from 1 January on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and from 11 January on Prime Video where available. Meanwhile, enjoy the official trailer:
