The Night Manager Season 2: Camila Morrone Joins Spy Series
is joining Season 2. Per Deadline, Morrone has been cast in a major role for the second season of the spy thriller series. Morrone joins Tom Hiddleston, who will reprise his role of Jonathan Pine for the new season.
Morrone is best known for starring in Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six. For her role as Camila Alvarez-Dunn, Morrone received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Morrone has also appeared in 2024’s Marmalade and 2023’s Gonzo Girl.
In April 2024, The Night Manager received a two-season order from the BBC and Amazon, with the latter replacing AMC. Series creator David Farr returns to write the series, while Stephen Garrett will lead the production. Georgi Banks-Davies will direct Season 2, replacing Season 1’s director, Susanne Bier.
Based on characters created by John le Carré, The Night Manager Season 2 will begin filming later this year and will follow Hiddleston’s Pine eight years after the Season 1 finale. Season 2 will go beyond le Carré’s original book.
It is unknown if any of Season 1’s stars, besides Hiddleston, will return for Season 2. Elizabeth Debicki is not expected to return as Jed Marshall. Hugh Laurie, who starred as Richard Roper, is back for Season 2 as an EP, but there is no word on whether he will act. Additional plot details are being kept under wraps.
The Night Manager Season 1 aired in February 2016. The series follows Jonathan Pine, the night manager of a luxury hotel recruited by the Foreign Office task force to help investigate arms dealer Richard Roper. The critically acclaimed spy series won two Emmys, including for direction by Bier and music composition by Victor Reyes.
