Last month, Prime Video and the BBC officially announced that they are moving forward with two more seasons of the series The Night Manager, with Tom Hiddleston remaining in the lead role. Someone who is not expected to return for season 2 is Elizabeth Debicki, who played Hiddleston’s character’s “secret lover” – but maybe he’ll find love again.

More than thirteen months have gone by since we heard that a second season of the Prime Video and the BBC series The Night Manager was in the works, being developed under the codename of Steelworks. At the time, there were rumblings that The Night Manager might even receive a two-season order… but season 2 and season 3 had not officially been given the greenlight yet at that time. That green light is shining now, though. Deadline broke the news that Prime Video and the BBC are officially moving forward with two more seasons of the show, with Tom Hiddleston remaining in the lead role.

Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role as Jonathan Pine in two further series of The Night Manager, based on characters created by John Le Carre.
Back in 2018, The Night Manager was a huge hit for the BBC, winning 36 awards including two Emmys, a BAFTA and several Golden Globes.
Adapted from the 1993 novel by John Le Carre, the show followed Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), the night manager of a high class hotel in Cairo, who is recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), the manager of a Foreign Office task force, to infiltrate the inner circle of sinister arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).
It was a glossy, big budget production, and writer David Farr expertly crafted Le Carre’s twisty plot into six exhilarating hours of drama.

In Yorgos Lanthimos’s “The Favourite,” Olivia Colman delivers a searing and wild performance as Queen Anne, whose tempestuous relationships with courtiers Sarah (Rachel Weisz) and Abigail (Emma Stone) are depicted on screen as wildly sensual.
This marks a change for Colman as an actor, because when Colman spoke to IndieWire in 2016 about “The Night Manager,” one thing she said she loved about the Emmy-nominated role of intelligence operative Angela Burr was that she was never pushed to perform love scenes on the level that co-stars Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Debicki were.
As she said then, “We all know each other. We’re friends, we chat after filming, we all have dinner. And they had to touch each other’s bits! I don’t know how they did it. Well done, them. I couldn’t. I’d have to have it rewritten. Just, ‘Cut to post-coitally, not having to do anything onscreen.
