Filming is set to kick off on The Night Manager season 2<\/a> later this year \u2013\u00a0and fans will be thrilled to hear that <\/span>a number of favourite faces are set to return.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olivia Colman will reprise her role<\/a> as intelligence officer Angela Burr, while Noah Jupe will also be back as Danny Roper and Tom <\/span>Hiddleston will return as Jonathan Pine. <\/span>Other returning performers include Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge and Michael Nardone.<\/span><\/p>\n

They will be joined by previously announced <\/span>new stars<\/span><\/a> Diego Calva (Babylon), Camila Morrone (<\/span>Daisy Jones & The Six<\/span><\/a>), Indira Varma (<\/span>Doctor Who<\/span><\/a>), Paul Chahidi (<\/span>Wicked Little Letters<\/span><\/a>) and Hayley Squires (<\/span>Inside No. 9<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on characters from <\/span>John le Carr\u00e9\u2019s 1993 novel<\/span><\/a>, The Night Manager season 1 saw Hiddleston\u2019s character Jonathan Pine go head to head with arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no word on whether Hugh Laurie will return on screen, but he will serve as an executive producer on season 2. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plot details for the second instalment are being kept largely under wraps, but we do know that there will be a large time jump.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiddleston previously opened up about the delay between the first and second seasons,<\/a> <\/span>admitting they <\/span>\u201ctook the time to try and get the story right\u201d<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPrincipally, [author] John le Carr\u00e9 seemed so happy with our adaptation the first time and that was such a relief,\u201d he told <\/span>Deadline<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSo if we were to go again we needed to find the right story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that he is \u201creally excited\u201d by the fact that \u201ceight or nine years have passed since the first season and these characters have been alive in the world in the last eight or nine years\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo Jonathan Pine [Hiddleston\u2019s character] \u2013 le Carr\u00e9 calls him the close observer \u2013 has been alive in the world, and he will be eight or nine years older, just as I am,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just think it will be so fascinating to see where he is, what he\u2019s doing, how he\u2019s operating, what he\u2019s thinking, what\u2019s changed and what hasn\u2019t changed, and hopefully we can create the same sort of chemistry we made on the first one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
