It’s been nearly 10 years since BBC’s The Night Manager first hit our screens.
The six-episode espionage drama, developed from John le Carré’s 1993 novel bearing the same name, became an instant hit with viewers.
Loki actor Tom Hiddleston, 44, played the main role of Jonathan Pine, while Hugh Laurie excelled as Richard Onslow Roper as Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Debicki and Tom Hollander rounded out a star-studded cast.
Last year, fans were left in a state of ecstasy after the BBC finally announced its return to our screens after an eight-year absence.
As of now, however, there have yet to be any concrete details released about when the second series is expected to come out.
But, it appears the wait might be over sooner rather than later.
Appearing on The One Show, Hiddleston – who is set to appear in the second and third instalments of the series – teased when audiences might anticipate the the show’s next season.
Speaking with presenters Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo, he was joined by The Life of Chuck co-stars Karen Gillan and Mark Hamill.
Answering viewer’s questions, he playfully shared that the second series would be ‘coming soon’.
Previously, it was revealed The Night Manager had received approval for second and third series from both the BBC and Amazon Prime Video, with Tom confirming his return to the forthcoming episodes.
Additional information has remained largely confidential, though the second series will continue from where the original concluded, regardless of the considerable gap between both seasons.
Despite the good news surrounding the second season returning soon, one star is reportedly being replaced.
It was claimed last year that The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki will not be returning.
Instead, the 34-year-old is said to be replaced by Daisy Jones and the Six star Camila Morrone – a former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Earlier this month, Metro readers also claimed that The Night Manager is one of the ‘smartest shows on television’.
The critically acclaimed thriller has picked up three Golden Globes among many other awards.
The Night Manager is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
