Le Carré’s estate approved an original-story sequel after the author reversed his earlier opposition.

Overview

  • Episode one debuts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9pm on Jan. 1, with six episodes scheduled to run weekly.
  • Jonathan Pine, now living under a new identity in London, pursues Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos and infiltrates an arms network with help from Roxana Bolaños.
  • The continuation moves beyond the novel’s plot, with writer David Farr returning and BAFTA winner Georgi Banks-Davies directing the new series.
  • Production filmed across the UK, Spain, Colombia and France, including a villa in Girardot, with a 96–97 day shoot over six months to capture on-location authenticity.
