The Night Manager villain makes shock return and 'comes back from the dead' for highly-anticipated second series of hit BBC show


Richard Roper is set to make a shock return in the second series of The Night Manager - eight years on from the explosive season one finale.

The first series followed hotel night manager Jonathan Pine who gets recruited by a British intelligence office to infiltrate an arms dealer's inner circle, played by House star Hugh Laurie. Director of BBC Drama, Lindsay Salt, said: 'Olivia Colman's award-winning role as Angela Burr in the first series of The Night Manager was unforgettable and we are over the moon that she is back alongside Tom Hiddleston. 'We have such a strong cast and with Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone and Noah Jupe also returning, and filming starting in London, the second series of The Night Manager promises to provide even more drama, glamour, intrigue and suspense.'
