- Quick Answer: BBC and Prime Video officially renewed The Night Manager for Season 3 in early 2024. Writing is currently underway to complete Jonathan Pine’s high-stakes trilogy.
As the second season of The Night Manager is nearing its end, fans are wondering whether a third season is happening or if it's the end of the journey for Jonathan Pine once again.
Returning after a decade-long hiatus, the hit spy thriller has successfully recaptured its audience with a blend of familiar faces and high-stakes storytelling. Given the warm reception to Jonathan Pine’s latest globe-trotting exploits, anticipation is already building for a potential third season.
Is The Night Manager Already Renewed for Season 3?
Fortunately for fans, the third season of The Night Manager is already in the works. It was part of BBC and Prime Video's two-season renewal order when they officially resurrected the series in early 2024.
Earlier this month, director Georgi Banks-Davies confirmed to Variety that the third season is currently being written, but she declined to reveal when they are planning to begin production and the potential release window.
"There was a third season that was always in the offing. David [Farr] is writing it now — he’s at the coalface and in the early stage. But yeah, when the second season came the plan was to go to three. So when you see our whole series, you’ll see it can sit entirely alone but can also sit very much as the second book in the trilogy," she said.
As for what to expect in the third season, fans should wait for the second season finale to air to get an idea of what the next season may look like and whether most of the supporting characters will return.
In a shocking twist, Hugh Laurie's Richard Roper returned at the end of the second season's third episode and was introduced as a villainous figure that Jonathan Pine needs to face again. This is despite the second season premiere opening with the character's supposed death. He is also revealed to be the father of Diego Calva's Teddy Dos Santos.
What is The Night Manager Season 2 About?
The Night Manager season 2 sees Jonathan Pine trying to bury his past. Now living as Alex Goodwin, a low-level MI6 officer running a quiet surveillance unit in London, his life is comfortingly uneventful. However, a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new player: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos.
On this perilous new journey, Pine meets Roxana Bolaños, a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy’s Colombian arms operation. Once in Colombia, Pine is plunged deep into a deadly plot involving arms and the training of a guerrilla army. As allegiances splinter, Pine races to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilise a nation. And with betrayal at every turn, he must decide whose trust he needs to earn and how far he’s willing to go before it’s too late.
Aside from Hiddleston and Laurie, the returning cast members include Olivia Colman, Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone, and Noah Jupe. New cast members include Diego Calva, Camila Morrone, Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi, and Hayley Squires.
