She has officially been signed on to feature alongside Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager season 2, though details about her character have been kept under wraps for the time being.
In-depth Overview of The Night Manager
The Night Manager, originally created by David Farr, is based on John le Carré’s intriguing 1993 novel by the same name. The inaugural season showcased Hiddleston in the role of Jonathan Pine, an erstwhile British soldier and night manager of a posh hotel in Cairo. Angela Burr, who manages a Foreign Office task force probing into illegal arms sales, solicits Pine to sneak into the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Roper.
Season Ascend: What’s New in Season 2?
In the upcoming season, the narrative will leap eight years beyond the first season’s events, pushing the tale past what was narrated in the novel. Hugh Laurie, who originally played Richard Roper and functioned as an executive producer on the show, will continue producing the series for the forthcoming seasons. The ambiguity surrounding his on-screen return adds an enticing suspense to the mix.
Tom Hiddleston, apart from acting, also wears the producer’s cap for the series. The directing mantle for season 2 has been handed to Georgi Banks-Davies, known for her work on ‘I Hate Suzie.’
Behind the Scenes: The Captains of the Ship
The Night Manager is a collaboration project by The Ink Factory, Character 7, Demarest Films, and 127 Wall, co-produced with Spanish partner, Nostromo Pictures. The Ink Factory, managed by le Carré’s sons Simon Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell, issued a statement praising the series’ success.
The statement revealed, “Season 1 proved a landmark moment – uniting top tier on-screen and behind-the-camera talent – and the audience reception surpassed our expectations. Moving beyond le Carré’s original events was a significant decision, but the captivating characters and David’s vision for their next chapter were irresistible.”
