The original six-part miniseries is produced by BBC One and The Ink Factory and is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, April 19 at 10 PM ET/PT. A contemporary interpretation of John le Carré’s espionage novel, The Night Manager makes history as the first television adaptation of a le Carré novel in more than 20 years.
The series follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) who is recruited by intelligence operative Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of international businessman Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie) and detonate the unholy alliance he has ministered between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To get to the heart of Roper’s vast empire, Pine must withstand the suspicious interrogations of his venal chief of staff Major Corkoran (Tom Hollander) and the allure of Roper’s beautiful girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki). In his quest to do the right thing, Pine must first become a criminal himself. Executive producers include Simon Cornwell, Stephen Cornwell, Stephen Garrett and John Le Carré, Writer David Farr also serves as an executive producer as does Academy Award® winner Susanne Bier, who served as director.
