Shock Twist in Popular BBC Series Starring Tom Hiddleston

The season 2 midseason twist reveals Richard Roper alive, linking new antagonist Teddy Dos Santos to Roper's criminal network and raising questions about Roper's survival.

  • Prime Video dropped the first three episodes of The Night Manager season 2 on January 11, culminating in the reveal that arms dealer Richard Roper is alive.
  • Jonathan Pine, played by Tom Hiddleston, is drawn back into fieldwork after his supervisor Rex Mayhew is seemingly murdered and a former Roper mercenary is sighted.
  • Posing as fictional businessman Matthew Ellis, Jonathan Pine befriends Teddy Dos Santos to infiltrate his operations, but an explosive meeting kills Pine's teammates and links Teddy to Gilberto Hanson and Roper's past.
  • Episodes release weekly on Sundays following the initial three-episode drop, and reports of a third season are in early-stage development, with the next three episodes expected to answer many questions.
  • In a changed spy-TV era, the revival seeks to reassert cinematic espionage, drawing on the original series' $29,000,000 budget and 36 nominations, with Hiddleston, Colman, and Laurie returning.
