‘The Night Manager’ Season 2: Evoking John le Carré
The New York Times••general
Key Points:
- The creative team behind "The Night Manager" faced the challenge of writing a sequel to the hit TV show, originally based on a novel by the late John le Carré.
- David Farr, who adapted the original book for television, found inspiration for the sequel from a dream he had in December 2020 involving a black car and a young boy, which he felt was linked to the story.
- The original series, starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, was a self-contained narrative with a definitive ending, and the cast and crew had moved on to other projects.
- Farr received news of le Carré's death the same night he had the dream, which he interpreted as a meaningful sign to pursue the sequel
