The producers are in “the early stages” of a new second season.
If you haven’t seen the BBC’s adaptation of John le Carré’s The Night Manager then you’re in for a treat.
In the show, Tom Hiddleston plays the night manager of a Cairo hotel, recruited to infiltrate the inner circle of an arms dealer, played by Hugh Laurie.
There are twists, espionage and sex. Lots and lots of sex. Seriously, how much sex did his character have during those few episodes?
Anyway, fans of the show will be pleased to know that a second season is currently in the works. Variety have reported that while new episodes are yet to be officially approved, a second season is looking incredibly likely.
In a joint statement, The Night Manager’s three production companies (BBC, AMC and The Ink Factory) said: “The Ink Factory, AMC and the BBC are in the early stages of developing a potential second [season] of ‘The Night Manager,’ but nothing is definite yet and we have nothing to announce.”
This exciting news is also supported by a recent interview that the show’s director, Susanne Bier, gave to Broadcast magazine.
During the interview, she said that a script is “slowly being developed” and that “we all very much want to do a season two but the thing we absolutely do not want is to do something that does not live up to the level of season one. That would be a really bad idea.”
