Olivia Colman and others return for The Night Manager season two

Several familiar faces will return in the upcoming second season of The Night Manager.

Olivia Colman (pictured) will return to reprise her Emmy-nominated role as intelligence officer Angela Burr. Additionally, Noah Jupe as Danny Roper, Alistair Petrie as Alexander 'Sandy' Langbourne, Douglas Hodge as Rex Mayhew and Michael Nardone as Frisky will return.



They join the returning Tom Hiddleston as former soldier Jonathan Pine. Other cast members confirmed for season two include Camila Morrone, Diego Calva, Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi and Hayley Squires.

The Night Manager season two begins filming later this year and picks up with Hiddleston's Jonathan Pine, eight years after the first season's explosive finale. It goes beyond the original book, written in 1993 by celebrated British writer John le Carré.

Additional plot details are being kept under wraps and there is no confirmation yet whether executive producer Hugh Laurie's Richard Roper, who was last seen in the back of a transport truck driven by gun buyers who weren't too happy with him, will return in a (main) role.

The Night Manager season two is created and produced by David Farr, based on le Carré's characters.

Other executive producers include Stephen Garrett for Character 7, Banks-Davies, Laurie and Hiddleston; Joe Tsai and Arthur Wang for 127 Wall; Stephen and Simon Cornwell, Michele Wolkoff and Tessa Inkelaar for The Ink Factory; Adrián Guerra for Nostromo Pictures; William D. Johnson for Demarest Films, Nick Cornwell, Susanne Bier, Chris Rice for Fifth Season and Gaynor Holmes for the BBC.
