Watch The Night Manager Season 2: Preview

The role that threw Tom Hiddleston into serious consideration as a future James Bond, The Night Manager is finally back for a second run of six fraught and thrilling episodes. Keep reading our guide to find out how to watch The Night Manager season 2 online and watch episodes for free wherever you are.

It's been nearly a decade since we were hooked by the cat-and-mouse game between Tom Hiddleston as Jonathan Pine and Hugh Laurie as Dickie Roper, as the humble hotel night manager sought to bring down the latter's undercover arms trade. But now the suave former intelligence operative – trying live out a quieter existence – is set to be thrust into another potentially lethal plot, with the trail taking far across the Atlantic to South America.

Of course there's a shady bad guy at the heart of things; this time its Colombian weapons smuggler Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva). And naturally there's a mysterious yet beautiful love interest (Roxana Bolaños played by Daisy Jones & The Six's Camila Morrone) to turn Pine's head. Thankfully, he still has the trusty Angela Burr (Oscar-winning Olivia Colman) from the UK's Foreign Office to keep him focussed on that matter in hand.

Thanks to its brilliant acting, big-budget set pieces and a script based on the godfather of espionage literature, John le Carré, the first series of The Night Manager was a massive hit back in 2016. It won Golden Globes, Primetime Emmys, TV BAFTAs and multiple other awards, leaving millions of fans eager to see more of Pine and Burr.
