The world has changed in the nine years since "The Night Manager" exploded onto our screens to universal acclaim, earning Golden Globes for Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie. The lengthy layoff should work in season 2's favor, as it's given writer David Farr (who adapted the first series from John le Carré's 1993 novel) and returning director Susanne Bier to really bring Jonathan Pine into the present day.
Here’s how to watch “The Night Manager” season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.
► "The Night Manager" S2 premieres at 9 p.m. GMT on Thursday, January 1 in the U.K..
• FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• RoW — Prime Video

Pine has retreated away to London to run the small Night Owls surveillance unit under the alias Alex Goodwin, relishing the safety of "watch, listen, report". But even on watchman duty he can't evade the creeping shadow of Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).
When one of the arms dealer's foot soldiers turns up somewhere entirely unexpected, Pine recognizes that his expertise might best be utilized off the books, and so he re-enters the field as Matthew Ellis, a morally bankrupt financier and fixer whose boundless riches earn him a seat at the top table of society — where he finds arms dealer Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva) and the British state with their snouts already buried deep in the trough.
It's a symbiotic relationship with the ultimate aim of destabilizing an entire nation, and if Pine was in any doubt, his superiors are more than willing to snuff out their own in order to keep the warped operation running to plan.
