Season two of The Night Manager kicks off the new TV year with the return of Tom Hiddleston as the charming spy Jonathan Pine, who hasn’t been on television for quite a while.
The season begins by showing us what’s become of the character: he’s moved on from his relationship with Jed (played by Elizabeth Debicki) and is now leading a quiet, lesser-known team at MI6 in London, operating under the alias Alex Goodwin.
Memories of a past enemy, Richard Roper from season one, draw him back into spy work, leading him to go undercover and investigate another criminal organization.
Diego Calva and Camila Morrone join the cast as new characters Teddy Dos Santos and Roxana Bolaños. Returning from the original cast are Olivia Colman, Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, and Noah Jupe.
