Another thing to consider is that 'The Night Manager' is based on a novel of the same name and since season 1 covered most of the story, the second season lacks source material. So with these two amazing talents gone it's really hard to say what's going to happen next. I’m sure that they will get there, with that show, eventually.Īnd 'Hanna' has gone on to be a big hit on Amazon Prime, cementing Barr's place as a great writer. And then having greenlit, I was like, ‘This is something I really connected to.

She then told Broadcast: We all very much want to do a season two, but the thing we absolutely do not want is to do something that does not live up to the level of season one. I just got worried that I would repeat myself or do something which wasn’t as great, but I think somebody else is going to do an amazing job out of it. I wasn’t sure that I would do my very best work the second time round – so I decided that I should probably not do it and have somebody. Susanne Bier, who directed the first season told Radio Times: Both the writer and director of season 1 have left, leaving BBC with a big gap to fill.

The windup is oddly cursory, however, suggesting that villain Roper may be planning a return. There are many hair-raising set pieces, a fake kidnapping on a Caribbean island and a poundingly exciting dash to the conclusion. Pine, who once lost a loved mistress who knew too much to Roper's henchmen, resolves to unmask him and the novel, written with all le Carre's mastery of atmosphere, character and desperate political infighting among the smoothest of Old School Brits, tells how, put in place by a handful of determined incorruptibles in London and Langley, Pine contrives to become part of Roper's inner circle. He is elegant, aristocratic, utterly cold-blooded and apparently inviolable, protected as he is by rogue former agents on both sides of the Atlantic who wish, for their own geopolitical, greedy and nationalistic reasons, to keep him operative. Richard Onslow Roper is a British arms merchant on a colossal scale, based in the Bahamas but trading with shell companies all over the Caribbean and Central America. The title character is former military intelligence operative Jonathan Pine, now a smoothly urbane functionary at a top Zurich hotel, who one snowy night welcomes ""the worst man in the world"" and his corrupt, effete and brutal retinue to the hotel's luxury suites.

In The Night Manager he expands triumphantly on those hints, emerging as a scourge of the smooth international businessmen who, with their arms and drug deals, continue to make the world a hellish place for the poor and dispossessed.

Previously in The Secret Pilgrim, le Carre, our premier chronicler of the spy world, gave indications of where his future interests lay, now that the Cold War and the shadow world it created are firmly behind us.
