The Night Manager Season Two Synopsis
Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) believed his past was behind him. Living as Alex Goodwin, a low-level MI6 officer overseeing a quiet surveillance unit in London, his existence was deliberately unremarkable. However, a chance encounter with a former Roper mercenary shatters his peace, thrusting Pine into a violent confrontation with a formidable new adversary: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva).
As Pine embarks on this dangerous new path, he encounters Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone), a businesswoman coerced into assisting his infiltration of Teddy’s illicit Colombian arms operation. Arriving in Colombia, Pine finds himself entangled in a deadly plot involving weapons trafficking and the training of a guerrilla army. With loyalties fractured and betrayal lurking at every turn, Pine must race against time to unearth a conspiracy poised to destabilize a nation, all while determining whom to trust and how far he is willing to go before it’s too late.
