According to The Hollywood Reporter, after almost decade, the hit thriller series The Night Manager has been renewed for two new seasons. The series that stars Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as the main character Jonathan Pine, has been renewed by Amazon and BBC eight years after its initial run.
The Night Manager is an Emmy and BAFTA-winning series created by David Farr (The Ones Below) that premiered in 2016. The series is about a hotel manager who becomes part of an international espionage agency after helping a guest during a weapons trade.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hiddleston said in a statement, “The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on. The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect. I’m so looking forward to reuniting with The Ink Factory Simon(Hotel Artemis) and Stephen Cornwell (A Most Wanted Man), David Farr and EP Stephen Garrett (Eastern Promises), and to working with Georgi Banks-Davies (I Hate Suzie) to tell the next chapter of our story. I can’t wait.”
The series is being produced by The Ink Factory in association with Character 7, Demarest Films, and 127 Wall. The second season is scheduled to have a total of six episodes. Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie (House) also serve as executive producers on the series.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Farr said, “John le Carré’s (A Perfect Spy) work has long been an inspiration to me and working closely with him on season one was an honor and a pleasure. I did not tread lightly into extending The Night Manager beyond the original book, but an idea came to me a couple of years ago which felt truthful to that unique world of dark corners and shady identities. No one marries the suspense of espionage with a deep exploration of the human soul quite like le Carré. I hope that in some way we can pay homage to his uneasy genius in this new exploration. I am thrilled to be working again with Tom Hiddleston, Stephen Garrett and The Ink Factory team, and to be welcoming the brilliant director Georgi Banks-Davies into our ranks.”
The Night Manager can be streamed on Prime Video, Hulu, The Roku Channel, and AMC+.
