‘The Night Manager’ Returns With Supercharged Two-Season Order At BBC & Amazon; Tom Hiddleston Back To Star With Hugh Laurie As EP
'The Night Manager': BBC & Amazon recommission with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie producing.
Now, Deadline can reveal that the BBC and new co-pro partner Amazon have gone big on a supercharged double-season order of the thriller, with Tom Hiddleston returning to lead, Hugh Laurie coming back as EP and with a new director in I Hate Suzie’s Georgi Banks-Davies. Also starring Tom Hollander, Olivia Colman and Elizabeth Debicki, it followed Pine – who ran a luxury hotel in Cairo – as he attempted to infiltrate the inner circle of Roper’s crime syndicate after being hired by Foreign Office task force manager Angela Burr. The combination of terrific source material, the wonderful team at The Ink Factory, a great writer in David Farr, an award-winning director in Georgi Banks-Davies, as well as the talented cast truly make the series the full package.”
