The Night Manager S2 Just Got Even More Exciting With This Major Casting Update
Let’s bring more familiar faces back.
One of the best gifs for all fans of the thriller genre, as well as all Tom Hiddleston fans, was a return of the 2016 TV series The Night Manager. The show premiered 8 years ago and since then has become a huge hit, but for a long time there were no hopes to bring it back. Now, however, fans can be sure of its return.
While it was announced that Tom Hiddleston will be back to reprise his role of Jonathan Pine for the second season, the rest of the cast remained a mystery, but now there are even more great updates about The Night Manager's original cast members returning to the show.
Who Will Be Back for The Night Manager Season 2?
It's no secret that aside from an intriguing premise and brilliant writing, the success of the first season of The Night Manager depended on the cast. Tom Hiddleston's Jonathan Pine was joined by the likes of Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, and Elizabeth Debicki.
As soon as the second season was announced, fans couldn't wait to find out who would be returning. As much as people hoped for a reunion of the entire cast, it was obvious that the show, set almost a decade later, would face some changes. However, with each piece of news that comes in, viewers are only getting more excited.
As it was recently announced, 5 more original cast members will be joining Hiddleston on a new journey. Olivia Colman, who received an Emmy nomination for her character in The Night Manager, intelligence officer Angela Burr, will return to reprise the role in the second season.
Viewers will also see Lord Langbourne, portrayed by Alistair Petrie, Rex Mayhew, portrayed by Douglas Hodge, Frisky, portrayed by Michael Nardone, and Noah Jupe's Danny Roper all return for the second season. From the looks of it, young Danny Roper may be following in his father's footsteps and working with the same people.
The cast has also been joined by two newcomers, Camila Morrone and Diego Calva. For now, there has been no news of anyone else joining The Night Manager, but viewers are looking forward to more news and updates about the second installment of the iconic show.
In the meantime, you can stream the first season of The Night Manager on Prime Video.
