The British TV series The Night Manager received critical acclaim for its successful first season, which aired in the US on AMC. Based on John le Carré's spy thriller, the show stars Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, and Tom Holland. The momentum initiated by these powerhouse actors hasn't gone unnoticed. BBC commissioned a second series in 2017 and as of now, scripts for the second season are in the works.
In season one, we meet Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a hotel night manager and former British soldier who gets recruited by an intelligence operative to infiltrate a secret arms trade ran by criminal billionaire Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). The endings of the novel and first season share similar contours, but they're rather different.
In the book, Pine ends up living with Roper's girlfriend Jed, whereas in the TV adaptation, his fate with her is more ambiguous. Roper too meets an uncertain future on screen. He gets carried away in a police van operated by his incensed buyers. When the second season comes, we will find out what happens to the villain as well as Jed and Pine's relationship.
