Jonathan Pine, aBritish Army veteran working as night manager of the Nefertiti Hotel inCairo during the2011 Egyptian Revolution, becomes involved with Sophie Alekan, mistress of Egyptian playboy Freddie Hamid. Sophie gives Pine documents detailing Hamid's illegal weapons and chemical deals, which Pine passes to Angela Burr of the International Enforcement Agency inLondon. The information is leaked to arms dealer Richard Roper, who cancels the deal; Sophie is beaten, and when Pine tries to secure UK asylum for her through his contact Simon Ogilvey, he learns Hamid's government connections make it impossible. Burr attempts to help, but Sophie is murdered. Four years later, Pine, now night manager of the Meisters Hotel inZermatt, is assigned to assist late-arriving guests, who turn out to be Roper and his entourage. Pine contacts Burr with intelligence stolen from Roper but initially refuses further involvement. Burr travels to Zermatt and persuades Pine to infiltrate Roper's organisation to help destroy it and avenge Sophie's death. | |||||||

Burr's Operation Limpet places Pine inside Roper's organisation by giving him anon-official cover identity and sending him toDevon to fabricate a violent criminal background, during which he begins a romantic relationship with Marilyn, a single mother. Burr then dispatches Pine toMajorca, where Roper is negotiating an arms deal. There, agents stage an abduction of Roper's son Daniel at a seaside restaurant; Pine, posing as a chef, "rescues" Daniel by confronting the undercover kidnappers and provoking them into beating him to make the scenario convincing. Severely injured, he is brought to Roper, who remembers him from Switzerland and is wary of his new identity but grateful enough to take him into his villa to recuperate. Roper's deputy, Major Lance "Corky" Corcoran, interrogates Pine about his supposed criminal past and inconsistencies in his aliases. Meanwhile in London, Burr works to keep Operation Limpet hidden from the 'River House' (MI6), whom she suspects would interfere if they discovered the covert plan. | |||||||

Roper interrogates Pine about his supposed criminal history, and Pine convincingly sells his fabricated backstory. As a result, Roper insists he remain at the villa while they create a new identity for him, partly in gratitude for saving Daniel. Pine begins undermining Corky's standing within the organisation and grows closer to Roper's girlfriend, Jemima "Jed" Marshall. InMadrid, Roper's lawyer, Juan "Apo" Apostol, hosts a birthday party for his daughter, Elena, attended by Roper and his entourage; Elena later hangs herself from shame over her father's illicit dealings. Burr finds the devastated Apo and attempts to win his trust. At the villa, Pine discovers Roper's secret study and steals the key; during a daily alarm test, he breaks in to photograph documents detailing Tradepass, Roper'sshell company used to disguise arms sales as agricultural equipment. The next day, Roper gives Pine a passport under the alias Andrew Birch and, convinced by Pine's story and frustrated with Corky's worsening alcoholism, appoints him frontman of Tradepass. Meanwhile in London, officials at the River House led by Geoffrey Dromgoole attempt to take control of Operation Limpet from Burr's superior, Rex Mayhew. When Mayhew resists, Dromgoole's deputy Raymond Galt alerts Roper and his financial manager Lord Sandy Langbourne to Limpet's existence. | |||||||

Roper expands Pine's new identity as Andrew Birch and plans to introduce him to prospective Tradepass buyers. At the IEA, Burr gives Mayhew and ATF agent Joel Steadman the Tradepass documents Pine photographed, revealing Roper's massive weapons-sale profits and commissions paid to two codenames, "Halo" and "Felix". Burr learns from Harry Palfrey of Dromgoole's team that Halo is Dromgoole and Felix is Barbara Vandon, theCIA station chief in London; both help falsify documents to support Roper's deals. Mayhew shows the documents to Pamela, the Foreign Office's Permanent Secretary, to prevent the IEA from being shut down, but Pamela leaks them to Dromgoole, who informs Roper. Roper, believing Apo is the source, has him killed. While Roper is away, Pine and Jed act on their attraction and sleep together; Corky discovers this and begins threatening them. Burr learns of Pine's involvement with Jed and orders him out, but Pine refuses, noting Roper is preparing a major weapons sale inIstanbul. When Burr persists, Pine warns Roper they are being watched, allowing Roper's team to escape the IEA's surveillance. | |||||||

After escaping, Roper tells Pine he had Apo murdered and reveals he now suspects Pine, Jed, Langbourne, or Corky of being another mole. Roper's entourage travels toTurkey to a compound called The Haven, run by mercenaries who manage his distribution network and its aid-organisation cover. Pine is assigned to arrange a weapons demonstration for buyers led by Omar Barghati. In London, Pamela reassigns Mayhew to aRoyal Household post, and Dromgoole tries to intimidate Burr into abandoning Limpet. Pine records the registration numbers of the "aid convoy" meant to deliver the weapons and secretly urges Jed to frame Corky; she subtly does so. Pine slips out to deliver the convoy note to Burr, but Corky catches him, and Pine kills him in a fight. He tells Roper that Corky was meeting someone outside the fence. Burr secures a U.S. military inspection of Roper's trucks at theSyrian border, but they contain only agricultural equipment. Pine realises Roper never stored the weapons at the compound. Steadman claims Pine has turned, but Burr rejects this. Roper's group heads to Cairo, where he contacts Hamid. In London, Burr returns home to find it ransacked and her husband wounded. | |||||||

After the border failure, the IEA is disbanded. Pine contacts Burr, who arrives in Cairo with Steadman, and convinces them the arms deal can still be stopped. Jed secures the code to Roper's hotel safe, allowing Burr and Steadman to steal the weapons' registration certificates while Roper's group visits a casino. Pine spikes Hamid's drinks, escorts him home, learns Roper ordered Sophie's murder, and drowns him. Pine then works with Youssuf, a former colleague, and hisMuslim Brotherhood contacts to infiltrate the weapons compound. The next morning, Jed is caught; Roper has herwaterboarded and concludes Pine is the mole. At the compound, Roper threatens Jed's life unless Pine completes the sale, unaware Burr has already rescued her. When the consortium arrives, Pine detonates the trucks remotely via phone, with explosives planted by Youssuf's contacts, revealing that he moved the $300 milliondown payment out of the Tradepass account. The enraged buyers demand repayment. Pine tells Roper he can access the money only if Jed is freed. Roper threatens Pine and the consortium, but back at the hotel Burr confronts him; he discovers she has blackmailed Dromgoole into withdrawing support. Local police arrest Roper and his team, and his furious buyers seize the convoy. Roper understands he faces a violent end. Jed returns to America, and Pine promises to visit her. | |||||||

The series was broadcast onRaidió Teilifís Éireann in Ireland on 29 August 2016.[39] On 24 February 2017,The Night Manager started to air in the Netherlands on public broadcasterNPO 1, being broadcast byAVROTROS.[40]
Series 2 began broadcasting on BBC One andBBC iPlayer in the UK on 1 January 2026. Outside the UK, the series was broadcast onPrime Video, with three episodes released on 11 January, and new episodes released weekly every Sunday, leading up to the season finale on 1 February.[41][42][43][44]
The series holds a 91% score on review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes, based on 67 critics with an average rating of 8.4/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "The Night Manager's smart writing and riveting story are elevated all the more by Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston's captivating performances."[45]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gives the series a score of 82/100 based on 32 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[46]
Adam Sisman, le Carré's biographer, wrote in the UKThe Daily Telegraph: "It is more than 20 years since the novel was published, and in that time two film companies have tried and failed to adapt it, concluding that it was impossible to compress into two hours. But this six-hour television adaptation is long enough to give the novel its due." He added: "And though Hugh Laurie may seem a surprising choice to play 'the worst man in the world', he dominates the screen as a horribly convincing villain. Alert viewers may spot a familiar face in the background of one scene, in a restaurant: John le Carré himself makes a cameo, as he did in the films ofA Most Wanted Man andTinker Tailor Soldier Spy. But he is on screen only for an instant: blink and you'll miss him."[47]
Reviewing the first episode forThe Guardian,Archie Bland began by noting: "The Night Manager is as sexed up as television drama comes. In Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie it has bona fide international stars; in John le Carré's source novel it has a pedigree of untouchable grandeur. The palette is as sumptuous as one of our hero Jonathan Pine's beautiful hotels". He added, "It's Laurie's vulpine performance that givesThe Night Manager its force once the smell of money has worn off. But we barely see him for the first 40 minutes – a delayed gratification trick that's always worked like magic on me, ever since we spent the whole first episode ofThe West Wing waiting impatiently to meetJosiah Bartlet." Turning to Hiddleston's performance, Bland wrote: "And as the embodiment of the show's atmosphere of paralysed establishment glamour, Hiddleston is the business. When the noble beast beneath that accommodating English exterior begins to make itself known, I find the righteous revenge he's intent on wreaking on Roper compelling."[48]
IGN reviewer Jesse Schedeen gave the serial 8.8 out of 10, saying: "The Night Manager proves that television is the ideal format to bring le Carré's novels to life. This miniseries is tightly paced, suspenseful and boasts strong performances from the likes of Hiddleston, Laurie, Colman and Hollander. With any luck, this series will open the doors for more of le Carré's classic spy tales to make their way to the small screen."[49]
The New Yorker reviewerEmily Nussbaum was unimpressed, calling the miniseries "elegant but ultimately empty", with "overwrought sequences of doomed love", "just an old recipe made with artisanal ingredients". She praised the actors but found the characterisation of Roper "less Dr. No and more Mr. Magoo".[50] However, Brian Tallerico called it a "brilliant adaptation" onRogerEbert.com, with praise for the performances of Hiddleston and Laurie, and for Susanne Bier's direction: "Bier brings a cinematic language toThe Night Manager, and a deeper understanding of character than we often get in projects that hinge on espionage. She understands that it's not about the twists and turns of the spy game but the impact it has on those who are playing it."[51]
Writing inThe Guardian, Jack Seale gave the first episode four out of five, saying: "Although the drama still feels like cashmere and silk, the blade stashed in the folds isn’t so sharp [...] There is something fundamentally gauche, too, about the way season two methodically tries to rebuild the dynamic of the first run", but concludes: "None of this is to say The Night Manager is suddenly average: it still floats far above most of the competition. But it no longer feels pristine."[52]
The Independent gave the first two episodes four out of five with Nick Hilton remarking: "Gripping without being excessively silly, compelling without being indulgently cerebral, The Night Manager pulls off the, increasingly rare, trick of knowing its audience, understanding its success, and replicating the formula."[53]
