The Hollywood actor bid adieu to the show with a heartfelt social media tribute, marking what she described as the "end of an era" for the popular drama.
A Decade-Long Wait Concludes
The highly anticipated second series of The Night Manager returned to screens an incredible decade after its initial appearance, concluding last week with a finale that left viewers on the edge of their seats. Tom Hiddleston, 44, reprised his role as former British intelligence operative Jonathan Pine, this time joined by Camila Morrone, 28, who portrayed Roxana, a businesswoman entangled in the dangerous world of criminal arms-dealing.
Behind-the-Scenes Glimpses
Morrone took to Instagram to share intimate snapshots from the production, offering fans a rare look at the camaraderie between the cast members. The opening image showed the actress wearing a pink suit, leaning in with a bright smile beside Hiddleston, who crouched down to align his head with hers in a playful pose. Another photograph captured the pair sharing a warm embrace in a car park before filming commenced, highlighting their off-screen chemistry.
Additional images revealed Morrone's scripts filled with handwritten notes, footage of the duo driving in a luxury vehicle during production, and a poignant shot of the actress in tears as filming drew to a close. "End of an era. That's it for Night Manager season 2," she posted to her followers, who flooded the comments section with praise for what many called a "spectacular" programme.
Viewer Acclaim for Gripping Finale
The thrilling conclusion to the second series was met with widespread acclaim from audiences, who took to social media to express their admiration for the show's compelling storyline. The dramatic finale featured the shocking deaths of two key characters, prompting viewers to describe it as the "cliffhanger of cliffhangers."
One enthusiast declared on social media platform X: "The Night Manager had one of the drama's great finishes. It really was one you'll never forget. The cliffhanger of hangers." Another viewer gushed: "More needs to be talked about The Night Manager... it's the best drama that's been on the telly for a long long time! Absolutely brilliant!"
A third fan focused on Hiddleston's performance, stating: "Now we can talk about how extraordinary an actor Tom Hiddleston is; this season was breathtaking, he always gives Pine a different nuance, this ending was devastating, he's brilliant." Meanwhile, a fourth praised the series' ability to maintain quality, remarking: "What a terrific season finale. Very few series in their second season are able to match the quality of the first. The game has just started anew."
Future of the Series
This emotional farewell follows recent revelations from Tom Hiddleston about the future of the popular BBC drama. During an appearance on This Morning with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, the actor disclosed: "I can reveal that there will be, there's going to be more, but we always constructed this one as the beginning of a 12-episode story."
He elaborated on the creative approach, explaining: "It gave us greater scope in terms of imagining where this story might go knowing that we had another season to come - and we like trilogies, there's something satisfying about it." Hiddleston also reassured fans about the timeline for future series, adding: "It will be sooner [than ten years]. It's booked in, and if we had to wait another ten years I'd be 55, and I don't know how much running I will be doing [then]."
The Night Manager remains available to stream on BBC iPlayer for those who wish to revisit the gripping thriller or discover it for the first time. The series continues to captivate audiences with its intricate plotting, stellar performances, and high-stakes drama, cementing its place as one of British television's most compelling exports.
