The Night Manager Season 2 had a big, splashy premiere in London last night. Tom Hiddleston was there with his partner/fiancee/possible wife Zawe Ashton. Hugh Laurie was there, possibly to support Tom and the old team, because I’m not sure he’s actually in the second season. Camila Morrone was there, because she’s developing an interesting CV after dating Leonardo DiCaprio (Leo dumped her right after her 25th birthday). Diego Calva was also there, he’s “the bad guy” this season. Olivia Colman wasn’t there, but she makes an appearance in the new season.
Yeah, despite my qualms about making a “second season” nine years later, I think I might be up for this? I hope they’ve made Tom’s character, Jonathan Pine, older and wiser as well. At the premiere, Tom told the Hollywood Reporter: “I’m 10 years older, [I’ve got] a few more scars on the inside, a few more scars on the outside. I love the fact that I feel I’ve lived more life, and I encouraged everyone I came into contact with to lean into that. I’ve more life experience and more of my own curiosity about the world and the way it is, and I want it to be more courageous, actually, [and] about investigating the soul of this man.”
Camila Morrone’s premiere ensemble is from Carolina Herrera. She looks gorgeous, honestly, although the bustier is too tight (because her body is too bangin’). Leo really missed out on her hottest years. Tom looked nice in his brown suit, and he and Zawe held hands at the premiere. Zawe recently gave birth to their second child in October or November. Tom and Zawe are really keeping their family life private. Good for them.

Yeah no that corset is comically too tight, it makes Morrone’s outfit look cheap and her a try-hard.
Zawe is beautiful.
Tom is OK but not ageing in a way that would finally resolve in him being an older charming handsome gentleman. He’ll probably blend into the background of actors very soon.
OMG you nailed that description of Tom. I do think he’s styling much better though. The cut of that suit gives him normal, less lanky proportions.
The veranda is open and will remain open through the series run, which begins in January
Hugh Laurie is a producer
Good old TBT to the good old veranda days. Thanks, LP!
I am actually looking forward to watching TNM II, seeing John le Carré was open to it, and his sons are behind it, and involved with the production.
We’ll start a rewatch of TNM sometime between Christmas and the new year.
What is the “veranda” and “old veranda days”?
I cannot figure out what you are referring too.
