Marvel star Tom Hiddleston’s hit series The Night Manager has been renewed for season 3, and season 2 hasn’t even aired yet.
It’s a rather interesting announcement given how the thriller-drama often sees Pine wind up in life-threatening situations. Might we assume that he’ll make it to the season 2 finale unscathed then? Only time will tell…
Based on the novel by John le Carré, The Night Manager season 1 follows former British soldier and Cairo-based hotel manager Pine after he’s recruited by the manager of a Foreign Office task force (Olivia Colman). Together, the pair task themselves with infiltrating the inner circle of illegal arms dealer Richard Roper (Laurie). Elizabeth Debicki, David Harewood, Noah Jupe, and Tom Hollander rounded out the supporting cast.
“Revisiting the story of Pine also means going beyond the events of John le Carré’s original work: that is a decision we have not taken lightly, but his compelling characters and the vision David has for their next chapter were irresistible,” le Carré’s sons Simon Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell said in a statement.
Elsewhere, Hiddleston said of the double season renewal: “The first series of The Night Managerwas one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on. The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect.”
