The Night Manager – BBC One’s adaptation of John Le Carre’s novel starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie – was a huge hit back in 2016.
Now the BBC has confirmed it has commissioned TWO more series of the espionage thriller.
Furthermore, the corporation has confirmed that Hiddleston will reprise his iconic role as Jonathan Pine, and the story will pick up eight years after series one’s explosive finale.
Hiddleston says: “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 Simon and Stephen Cornwell, David Farr and Stephen Garrett, and to working with Georgi Banks-Davies to tell the next chapter of our story. I can’t wait.”
Seasons two and three will be available outside of the UK on Amazon Prime Video.

It was a great series. I’m sure the next one will be worth the 8 years’ wait.

It’s great to see Tom Hiddleston is to star in another season based on John le Carré’s Night Manager. It’s also back in fashion in India but the reviews for that are mixed but that is a tad like the maestro himself. John le Carré’s novels are perfection yet in real life whilst David Cornwell was a great character and a brilliant writer, as a spy did he have more Achilles heels than toes? Did he really upset Field Marshall Montgomery’s cousin? Were Pemberton’s People in MI6 as depicted in The Burlington Files really friends or foes? Was he the perfect spy? What of his Dad’s links to the Krays? What were his links to Kim Philby? Did the SAS trust him? For more beguiling anecdotes best read a brief and intriguing News Article about Pemberton’s People in MI6 dated 31 October 2022 in TheBurlingtonFiles website and then read Beyond Enkription.
