Tom Hiddleston is back as the globe-trotting British intelligence officer Jonathan Pine and chasing a Colombian arms dealer, only to be plunged into a deadly conspiracy in the second-season trailer for the Prime Video and BBC espionage thriller.
Now living an uneventful life London as Alex Goodwin, a low-level MI6 officer, Pine has a chance sighting of an old Richard Roeper mercenary that leads him to a violent encounter with a new character, Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos, played by Diego Calva.
Encouraged by Olivia Colman, reprising her role as Angela Burr, to return to the field, Pine meets up with Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Dos Santos’ arms operation, only for Pine to face betrayal and a deadly plot involving the training of a guerrilla army.
“You lied to me,” an angry Pine tells Burr at one point in the trailer. “I had no choice,” Colman’s character responds with gritted teeth. “I saw a chance to nail investors, the politicians, the whole rotten bunch.”
As allegiances splinter, Pine races to expose a conspiracy designed to disrupt an entire 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, a synopsis from the producers adds.
The first three episodes of The Night Manager season two debut Jan. 11, with one new episode releasing every Sunday until the season finale on Feb. 1. Besides Prime Video worldwide, the crime drama will also play on BBC and BBC iPlayer in the U.K. Hiddleston is also an executive producer on the series.
