The Night Manager’ Returns With Strong Reviews as Season 2 Begins Global Rollout

Critics highlight Tom Hiddleston’s assured lead turn and taut le Carré-style spycraft as the six-episode run sets up a larger continuing story.

Overview

  • Prime Video released episodes 1–3 on Jan. 11 with new chapters arriving Sundays through a Feb. 1 finale, following the BBC’s early January U.K. launch on iPlayer.
  • Set eight years later, Jonathan Pine is living as Alex Goodwin and running an MI6 surveillance unit when he’s drawn toward Colombian power broker Teddy Dos Santos.
  • The season spans on-location settings in Colombia and Spain and introduces Roxana Bolaños alongside returning players from Pine’s intelligence circle.
  • Early reviews from multiple outlets praise the series’ pacing, direction, and Hiddleston’s performance, calling the new run a gripping continuation.
  • A notable midseason twist in episode 3 signals higher stakes without revealing details, and the show has been renewed for a third season.
