The Night Manager

7579Def50e613aa623a3b9476eb889d7d40873c2

The Night Manager won many awards internationally including three Golden Globes, two Emmy Awards and three BAFTAs. The series was sold to over 180 countries worldwide.

A contemporary interpretation of John le Carré's espionage drama - and the first television adaptation of a le Carré novel in more than 20 years - The Night Manager brings together love, loss and revenge in a complex story of modern criminality.

The series follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) who is recruited by intelligence operative Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of international businessman Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie) and detonate the unholy alliance he has ministered between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To get to the heart of Roper's vast empire, Pine must withstand the suspicious interrogations of his venal chief of staff Major Corkoran (Tom Hollander) and the allure of his beautiful girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki).

The much-anticipated season 2 of The Night Manager is currently in production. It will be streaming in the UK on the BBC, and throughout the rest of the world on Amazon Prime from early 2026.
