The Night Manager will premiere on AMC this week, and fans of the BBC hit are still wondering if a second season is possible. Tom Hiddleston said there is not a second season being planned, and now the writer of the series is making it clear that a second season is not happening either.
David Farr spoke about The Night Manager in an interview with Variety, and he made it clear that he is “done” with the project. He said the following:
“There is lots of pressure but I’m not keen. Personally, I liked the fact that the story ended where the story ended. But that’s entirely personal. Given the characters, there is a potential for something more to happen, and I’m sure someone could find the right idea. But for me it’s done. My simple feeling is that I wouldn’t be able to make the next one as good. But I would love to work with Le Carré again and we are talking about future projects.”
For The Night Manager, Farr worked closely with the author of the novel, John Le Carré, to update the story to present day.
Are you excited to see The Night Manager? Does the fact that the mini-series will not go on for a second season make you less excited? Tell us what you think.
I am very VERY disappointed about the cancellation of this show.
With American series rather predictable, the suspense, British style, made me squirm in my seat…not too many TV shows today do that. I was hoping for another Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy or even Breaking Bad.
Who decided? Based on…? How frustrating. Makes me very doubtful and hesitant to watch new shows at all. Think I will wait to see who survives Season 1 cut before investing my time in them again.
I guess I will go back to reading Le Carre.
Thanks for a big letdown.
