When The Night Manager first aired in 2016, it grabbed much attention for its clever plotting and performances. Its story of secrets, danger, and moral choices, left viewers hooked, and they were eagerly waiting for more ever since. Season 2, thankfully, is now on the screens with promises to keep the level of tension and intrigue.

Questions about the number of episodes and the release schedule have also been answered. For anyone who loved the original season, the next installment looks set to deliver an elevated experience.

The sophomore season of The Night Manager premiered on January 11, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video, with the first three episodes dropping together at launch and the rest set to release weekly on Sundays until the six-episode installment concludes on February 1. This season continues the acclaimed spy thriller nearly a decade after season 1, giving viewers a tightly paced release schedule and plenty to anticipate each week.

Season 2’s plot follows Tom Hiddleston’s Jonathan Pine, ten years more mature and living under the alias Alex Goodwin. He is drawn back into espionage after a chance encounter shakes his quiet life.

Pine must infiltrate the dangerous world of Colombian arms dealing, confronting new foes like Teddy Dos Santos and teaming up with Roxana Bolaños to uncover a sprawling conspiracy tied to guerrilla warfare and political manipulation. The IP was never intended to span multiple seasons, as it adapted its story from a book, but its awards acclaim made a second season possible.
