The BBC Reveals New Cast for 'The Night Manager' Season 2

The new castings for the surprise second season of The Night Manager have been dribbling out in the trades for several days now, with the BBC and Prime Video refusing to comment the whole way. Now that all the names are out there individually, the BBC decided that it might as well put out a press release with all the information in one place, and Prime Video apparently agreed. The release includes a full rundown of the new cat joining the series and who from the original series will return.

The second list is far shorter than the first: Tom Hiddleston is the only one returning from Season 1 of the official press release, reprising his role as Jonathan Pine. (This lines up with a recent interview with Elizabeth Debicki, who said she was not returning and seemed dubious anyone else from Season 1 other than Hiddleston would be asked to sign on either.)

In Debicki's stead, the series has cast American actor Camila Morrone, a recent up-and-comer who made a splash in Prime Video's Daisy Jones & The Six. Morrone's character has not been given a name as yet, but most assume her character will step into the femme fatale role Debicki's Jed occupied in Season 1. The other prominent topline actor to join the series is Mexican actor Diego Calva, who Netflix viewers will recognize from Narcos: Mexico. Again, no character name has been given, and his role is being kept "under wraps," but one assumes that whoever he plays, Jonathan Pine will be spying on him.
