EXCLUSIVE: A second season of smash John le Carré adaptation The Night Manager is in the works at Amazon Prime Video and the BBC, with Tom H
The Night Manager Season 1 was AMC’s adaptation of John le Carre’s post-Cold War novel. Published in 1993, Night Manager follows a British soldier-turned-luxury hotel auditor (Tom Hiddleston) who gets roped into an intelligence operation (Olivia Colman) to take down an internationally renowned arms dealer (Hugh Laurie).
The Night Manager Season 1 was the story behind the 1993 novel, which become a hugely successful BBC television drama.
The most striking thing about The Night Manager, the gripping BBC adaptation of John le Carré’s novel is that it is true. Not literally a true story of course. The events and people depicted in the drama never existed. There is no semi-independent internal investigation unit within MI6 called the International Enforcement Agency. But, Suave, sophisticated, discreet: the real-life hotel manager who inspired le Carré.
The book and series revolve around the establishment of trust: the building of confidence between an agent and his source, between an agent and the officer controlling him, and between an agent and the target. The MI6 officer Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) must persuade Pine to trust her; he in turn must get the evil Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) to trust him.

The Night Manager miniseries was a six episodes event series, directed by Susanne Bier and co-produced by AMC, BBC One (which was air it in Great Britain) and Ink Factory. David Farr (Spooks) wrote the adaptation.
The first season starred Olivia Colman, Hugh Laurie, David Hareweood, Katherine Kelly Tom Hollander, Elizabeth Debicki and Tobias Menzies. It nabbed three Golden Globes, awarding Hiddleston, Laurie and Coleman for their work in the limited series. It also scored two Emmys (for directing and musical composition).
There were some classic Le Carré lines in the penultimate, episode of Season 1: “Anyone can betray anyone,” then, later, “the whole system keeps the country where we want it ... we made Richard Roper”.
The Night Manager season 2 would come seven years after the first's original run…but is finally coming, with Tom Hiddleston returning as the protagonist currently in the works at Amazon Prime Video and BBC.
Le Carré never actually wrote a sequel to the novel The Night Manager is based on, preferring always to just write standalone stories, which means there's no existing blueprint to base a second outing.
According to Deadline, the next series will meet Hiddleston's Pine in the present-day learning the news that Laurie's Roper has been killed in custody. That revelation triggers a series of events more deadly and challenging than the first.
There's no news yet on whether anyone else from the original series is coming back, although Colman's MI5 agent makes sense as an ally as well as Debicki's Jed from the romantic past. With Laurie's character dead on impact, it's unlikely he'll be back.
Filming is set to start this summer in the UK and South America, supposedly on a two-season order. If that goes ahead as planned, it's unlikely we'll get anything before 2024, especially considering how glossy and high-budget the first go around was.

C.B. Strike: Troubled Blood
Really enjoy this series. Here’s NYT’s mini review of C.B. Strike: Troubled Blood’ (2/13/23). “Speaking of J.K. Rowling, the new season of the BBC series “C.B. Strike” — its fifth, labeled in America as its third — arrived Monday on HBO Max with virtually no notice, like a poor neighbor tapping into your Wi-Fi. Rowling writes the mystery novels on which the show is based (under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith) and is an executive producer of the series, and it seems likely that the controversy surrounding her views on transgender activism has affected the American streaming service’s eagerness to promote the show.
That’s unfortunate, because based on the first of the season’s four episodes, “C.B. Strike” is as intelligent, deeply felt, adroitly written and directed and wonderfully acted as ever. It is an exemplary British mystery, which is a high distinction.
Recent seasons of “C.B. Strike” (known as “Strike” in Britain), along with the novels they adapt, have been increasingly focused on family tragedy, and “Troubled Blood” continues the trend. A woman hires the stoic private eye Cormoran Strike (Tom Burke) and his doughty partner Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger) to reopen the investigation of her mother’s disappearance in 1974. As they start in on the grief-laden case, Robin is being harassed by her angry husband a##bout their divorce and Cormoran learns that a beloved aunt is dying of cancer.
The characters could be stereotypes, but as imagined by Rowling, adapted and directed by Tom Edge and Sue Tully, and definitively portrayed by Burke and Grainger, they’re fully dimensional. Cormoran’s quiet but volatile nobility and Robin’s deadly serious efficiency, masking a catalog of trauma, come from the inside; it takes no effort to believe them.
And while the cases can be grim — and while the sexually charged, sometimes testy relationship between Cormoran and Robin can take its toll on your emotions — “C.B. Strike” is ultimately a hopeful show, predicated on the dignity of the work the partners do and the solace they find in their friendship. An early scene in which a smiling Cormoran and Robin reunite, both at least momentarily escaping into the complexities of the case, is a purely joyous moment.
