Production company Hangtime International Pictures has joined the team for the long-awaited second season of The Night Manager, as the show begins principal photography in London this month.
Following Hangtime’s launch at the Cannes Film Festival in May, the company’s Frank Murray and Frida Torresblanco will serve as co-executive producers on the show.
Murray was brought aboard the series by The Ink Factory co-founder and co-CEO Simon Cornwell and executive producer Stephen Garrett. “I’m thrilled to continue my working relationship with Simon and The Ink Factory team via Hangtime,” Murray said. “I am such a huge fan of the series, it is truly an honor and a privilege.”
The Night Manager season two will see Tom Hiddleston reprise his iconic role as international spy Jonathan Pine.
Both the BBC and Prime Video recently confirmed that the second season will include returning cast members Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown), Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Douglas Hodge (Joker, Black Mirror), Michael Nardone (Traces, Rome) and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place, Honey Boy).
Returning cast members will be joined by newly-announced leads Diego Calva (Babylon, Narcos: Mexico) and Emmy Award nominee Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six) alongside Indira Varma (Obsession, Obi-Wan Kenobi), Paul Chahidi (Wicked Little Letters, The Serpent Queen) and Hayley Squires (Adult Material, Beau Is Afraid).
Inspired by the characters in John Le Carré’s best-selling novel, the upcoming second series will once again be written by series creator David Farr. It will be helmed by director Georgi Banks-Davies (I Hate Suzie, Paper Girls).
