Another lead role has been cast in The Night Manager. Diego Calva (above, right) will join Tom Hiddleston and Camila Morrone for season two.
Based on the novel by John le Carré, the first season of The Night Manager follows Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) as he tries to infiltrate a crime syndicate while running a luxury hotel in Cairo. The initial season stars Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, Elizabeth Debicki, Alistair Petrie, David Harewood, Douglas Hodge, Antonio de la Torre, and Tobias Menzies.
Per Deadline, no details about Calva’s role or the season plot have been revealed. David Farr, the series creator, is returning to write for season two, which will go beyond the source material.
The series’ possible return has been discussed since season one aired in 2016 on AMC. BBC and Prime Video ordered seasons two and three of the British spy thriller series in April.
The premiere date for season two of The Night Manager will be announced later.
What do you think? Have you watched the first season of The Night Manager? Do you plan to check out seasons two and three when they arrive?
Lol, an 8-year wait is utterly absurd. I don’t remember anything about the plot or characters at this point.
I loved the first season of The Night Manager — and watched it twice. A second season is very welcome news indeed.
By the time this season actually airs, the night manager would have retired. The good news I guess, is we can all rewatch the first season, as none of us remember it.
