I have just finished the Night Manger (SBS). Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman.

Edge of your seat stuff!

That was a brilliant series and the one that made me think that Hiddleston was a chance at taking on the role of Bond. Unfortunately, I think that ship has now sailed.

Looks like they have commissioned a second and possibly third season.

2 more seasons seemingly confirmed already...

Charlotte Moore, BBC's Chief Content Officer, announced the show's return in April 2025, saying, "After years of fervent speculation I'm incredibly excited to confirm that The Night Manager is returning to the BBC for two more series."

Shooting apparently doesn't start until later this year, so we likely won't see Season 2 until sometime in 2026.

Anyone looking for a fabulous drama with political intrigue watch Pandore on sbs.

Belgian (French language with English subtitles).

There is a forthcoming election

A very ineffectual lower level politician who is cobstantly overlooked witnesses an event and turns it to his advantage. The themes of media manipulation, political greed and the justice system is brilliant.

However, the development of this weak little man (who you almost felt sorry for in the beginning) developing into a lying malignant psychopath becoming progressively more powerful is amazing.
Series 1 - 10 eps
Series 2 - 6 eps
All ready on this long rainy weekend
A bientot
