Prime Video’s The Night Manager has officially returned for Season 2, releasing its first three episodes on January 11. Despite just releasing yesterday, the show has already proven to be an instant streaming success, with Prime Video reporting it is trending at #3 in the US as of January 12, 2026.
For those who have not yet jumped into the Tom Hiddleston-starring high-stakes spy thriller, this series is perfect for anyone who loves old-school spy intrigue with a touch of modern prestige TV polish. Season 1 follows Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a former British soldier turned luxury hotel night manager, who is drawn into the world of international arms dealing.
Pine must navigate deception, moral compromise, and high-stakes danger as he attempts to infiltrate the inner circle of Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie), a charismatic but ruthless arms dealer. If you are looking for suspense, action, and drama, this should be on your watch list.
The Night Manager Season 2 Proves the Spy Thriller Has Lost None of Its Momentum
Strong Reviews, Top 3 Streaming Success, and Multiple Ways for Fans to Jump In
Season 1 of The Night Manager earned exceptional ratings from both critics and fans, with a fresh 91% score on the Tomatometer and an 89% audience score. Season 2 has continued that success, claiming another 91% from critics while also ranking as the third most streamed show in the US, reinforcing the series’ consistent quality.
Season 2 follows the same general tone and narrative established in Season 1, though this time Pine is on a new mission in Colombia, where he must infiltrate the dangerous arms dealer Teddy Dos Santos’ operation. As a result, fans of the first season are likely to enjoy this continuation. However, if adding another show to your watch list feels daunting, there is an alternative.
For those who want to dive into Jonathan Pine’s spy saga without committing to another series, the book route may be more appealing. The Night Manager is based on John le Carré’s novel of the same name, offering another way to experience the story. With both options available, viewers can choose how they want to enter the world of The Night Manager.
