Eight years since the first series, Night Manager series 2 features new and returning cast, shown in some first look images

Eight years after its explosive finale captivated over 10 million viewers in the UK alone, the BBC and Prime Video release the first-look images from the upcoming second series of The Night Manager, which stars Tom Hiddleston (Loki, The Life of Chuck), who reprises his role as former British intelligence operative, Jonathan Pine.

Series two is created and executive produced by David Farr, based on the characters created by John le Carré. Directed in full by Georgi Banks-Davies (I Hate Suzie, Paper Girls), the upcoming series expands the story beyond the source material of the titular novel for the first time.

What is series 2 of The Night Manager about

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.

As allegiances splinter, Pine 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.

And who is in it

Series two will star Diego Calva (Babylon, Narcos: Mexico), as Teddy, Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six) as Roxana, alongside Indira Varma (Obsession, Obi-Wan Kenobi) as Mayra, Paul Chahidi (Wicked Little Letters, The Serpent Queen) as Basil and Hayley Squires (Adult Material, Beau Is Afraid) as Sally.

Returning are Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) as Angela Burr, Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as 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 Daniel Roper.

There are plenty more pictures in the press release. We’re hoping for more information regarding broadcast (early 2026?) and will let you know when we find out.
