The Night Manager Season 2 first-look teases Tom Hiddleston’s return

The first image of Tom Hiddleston shows him in a sleek yet tense setting. He is in a dimly lit room, surrounded by exotic locales and shadowy encounters that hint at another undercover mission. Season 2 finds Pine infiltrating the empire of Colombian arms dealer Teddy Dos Santos. He is accompanied by Roxana Balanos, who eventually becomes his ally and moral counterpoint. The official logline of season 2 suggests Pine getting caught in a web of conspiracies. These secrets are meant to destabilize the nation and personally force Pine to question who he can trust.

Alongside Tom, Olivia Colman reprises her role as Angela Burr, the intelligence handler backing Pine. Indira Varma joins the cast in an undisclosed role, rumored to be tied to international intelligence operations.

Season 2 also has the same elegant cinematic look with some morally grey zones and lush global backdrops. Prime Video hasn't dropped any official premiere date yet, but the filming of the show wrapped earlier this year, and the network confirmed that The Night Manager will return for two new seasons.

The synopsis also suggests some international locations to be part of The Night Manager's new season, and this includes the UK, Spain, Colombia and France. Tom's character, Jonathan Pine, is now living as a low-level MI6 officer in London under the alias “Alex Goodwin”. The photos show him as more subdued and less glamorous compared to his style in season 1. In season 2, he is more in simple shirts, casual poses and surveillance-type environments.
