Eight years after the premiere of The Night Manager, which was thought at the time to be a limited series, the show is coming back for a second go-around. The series (which is one of the best shows on Hulu), which was inspired by a John Le Carré novel of the same name, starred Tom Hiddleston as Jonathan Pine, and also featured a cast that included Olivia Colman, Hugh Laurie, and Elizabeth Debicki.

Now, many want to know more about what may happen in a potential second season. Here’s what we know about that potential second season so far.

In the announcement that the show was coming back, Hiddleston also announced that he would be returning for the second season.

“The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on. The depth, range, and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect,” he said.

According to The Sun, the second season will include a number of new additions as well, including Indira Varma, Paul Chihidi, Hayley Squires, Camila Marrone, and Diego Calva. The reporting also suggests that Debicki is unlikely to return in the second season.

Variety revealed that a number of cast members from the first season would be returning, including Olivia Colman as Angela Burr, Alistair Petrie as Alexander “Sandy” Langbourne, Douglas Hodge as Rex Mayhew, Michael Nardone as Frisky, and Noah Jupe as Danny Roper.

What will The Night Manager season 2 be about?

Given that the first season was based on a book, and the book is a stand-alone novel, there’s a great deal of mystery around what a second season might look like. The show’s producer (and Le Carre’s son) explained that this is something close to a brand-new venture.

“There’s no book and there’s never been a Le Carre story that has been extended beyond the confines of the novel. It would be interesting to try that,” Simon Cornwell explained.

According to The Telegraph, the new season will film across London and South America later in 2024, and it’ll follow Pine as he finds himself “facing a new and more deadly challenge after being informed that arms dealer Richard Roper, played by Hugh Laurie, is dead.”

When will season 2 of The Night Manager be released?

Given that the second season is being filmed until later this year, it’s safe to say that we won’t see the next season until 2025 at the earliest. What’s more, given the time needed for post-production, it seems likely to debut in the second half of that year.

Is there a trailer for season 2 of The Night Manager?

There’s no trailer for the season yet, in part because they have yet to begin filming it.

Everything we know about the four Beatles biopics

Get ready for Beatlemania

The Beatles sitting together

As if there aren't enough musical biopics that have been released in the last decade, director Sam Mendes is adding a quartet of Beatles movies to his filmography. A unique set of films that connect into one greater whole, the upcoming Beatles biopics have to be watched together to get a full appreciation of the band's story. Much like Marvel fans who watch all of the superhero movies to get the best experience out of the story, this set of films will work the same way. Whether making an expanded Beatles universe of films is a good idea or not remains to be seen.

Each film will give equal screentime to Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. They will come out around the same time to encourage fans to see all of them. This is made possible by a simultaneous filming schedule in which all four movies will be produced alongside each other. The estimated release date is sometime in April 2028, according to Gold Radio. Sony hasn't decided yet whether all four movies will come out on the same day or whether there will be slight differences in release, whether that be one a week, etc. We have everything you need to know about the four Beatles movies right here, from the actors in the films to each Beatle's importance today.

Marty Supreme: Everything we know so far

Plot details about the film are still unavailable.

Few actors have managed to establish themselves as more exciting or versatile through the first decade of their career than Timothee Chalamet. While not every movie he's been in has been great, the young actor has done enough compelling work to make every project he takes on exciting.

That's just part of the reason we're so excited for Marty Supreme. The movie, which stars Chalamet, is directed Josh Safdie, whose last movie, Uncut Gems, was tense, to say the least. The movie is being produced by A24, which has one of the best track records of any indie studio working today. Here's what we know about the movie, including when it's coming out, who's in the cast, and what it's actually about:

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey: Everything we know so far

We don't have any footage from the movie just yet.

Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas.

These days, you can rely on Christopher Nolan to make a new movie roughly every three years. The director, who has become a brand unto himself, is coming off of the tremendous success of Oppenheimer, which was both a colossal box office success and an Oscars juggernaut.

For his follow-up, Nolan is adapting Homer's The Odyssey, one of the foundational myths in the history of stories. While there's plenty we still don't know about this project, it's clearly something that Nolan fans are going to be eagerly anticipating. With that in mind, here's everything we know about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey:
