Quick Links'The Recruit' Is a Huge Hit on NetflixWhat Is 'The Night Manager' About?John le Carré Remains the Preeminent Spy Storyteller

Season 2 of Netflix's flashy legal-spy drama The Recruit has shot to the top of the most-viewed charts following its January 30, 2025, bow. While the show has drawn acclaim for Noah Centineo's charms as CIA newbie Owen Hendricks learning the tricks of the trade, the premise hardly reinvents the espionage genre. For spy-hards looking for a more mature and genuine depiction of spycraft and international espionage, look no further than the BBC One/Prime Video adaptation of John la Carre's The Night Manager.

Following a near-decade-long absence, The Night Manager has been officially renewed for a second season on Prime Video, with original cast members Olivia Colman and Alistair Petrie set to reprise their roles. Between the best spy author on record, the superb cast, and top-notch direction,...

'A Brilliant Re-Imagining': Stephen King Praises TV Show Adaptation of 47-Year-Old Sci-Fi Story
Image
Acclaimed horror author Stephen King has shared a new recommendation for a TV series. This one takes inspiration from a sci-fi/horror story that's nearly five decades old.

On the social media platform Threads, King praised the limited series The Midwich Cuckoos. The series was previously released on Sky Max in the UK in 2022, though it's currently streaming on AMC+ in the U.S. King noted his surprise that the series did not get more attention, describing the adaptation as putting a "brilliant" on the original tale by author John Wyndham.

The Overlooked Sci-Fi Horror Series Stephen King Called 'Brilliant'
Image
If you're looking for a high-concept, mysterious sci-fi show in the vein of "Under the Dome," "From," or "Manifest," Stephen King has a recommendation for you. The master of horror has always loved sharing recommendations for spooky genre offerings on social media, and this week he took to Threads (he left the cesspool formerly known as Twitter in November) to highlight the UK-made series "The Midwich Cuckoos."

"The Midwich Cuckoos (Amazon): Surprised there hasn't been more talk about this," King recently posted on Threads. "It's a brilliant re-imagining of John Wyndham's classic sci-fi/horror novel." The title of one of Wyndam's best-known novels may not sound familiar to you, but the name of its earlier film adaptation might: "The Midwich Cuckoos" became "Village of the Damned" when Wolf Rilla adapted it in 1960. That version of the story is considered an all-time-great horror movie, alternately dubbed as an "excellent...

"Brilliant": Stephen King Praises Sci-Fi Horror Adaptation Of Classic Novel
Image
Stephen King praises a sci-fi adaptation of a classic sci-fi horror, which flew under the radar when it was first released. As the year comes to a close, the seminal author has shared some of his TV favorites. They've varied from the Jamie Dornan crime thriller The Tourist to the short-lived Apple TV+ series Constellation. But several of his recommendations tended to have one thing in common.

Whether it was the straightforward horrors of shows like Evil or Teacup or the more subdued unease of a drama like the Billy Crystal-led Before, several of King's TV notables tend to revolve around unsettling situations that would not seem at all out of place in some of his most famous novels. The author's latest recommendation follows along those lines.

Olivia Colman at an event for The Oscars (2019)
Olivia Colman is among the cast returning for series 2 of The Night Manager, and here are the details.

Back in 2018, The Night Manager was a huge hit for the BBC, winning 36 awards including two Emmys, a BAFTA and several Golden Globes.

Adapted from the 1993 novel by John Le Carre, the show followed Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), the night manager of a high class hotel in Cairo, who is recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), the manager of a Foreign Office task force, to infiltrate the inner circle of sinister arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).

It was a glossy, big budget production, and writer David Farr expertly crafted Le Carre’s twisty plot into six exhilarating hours of drama.

Earlier this year, the BBC confirmed that two more series have been commissioned and will be filmed back to back, presumably owing to Hiddleston’s busy schedule. Farr returned to write the scripts,...

Image
The Night Manager has been renewed for two seasons after an eight-year hiatus, reversing one of the biggest disappointments of Tom Hiddleston's career.

The Night Manager Confirmed For Two More Seasons With Tom Hiddleston
Image
Fans of The Night Manager, your patience is being rewarded in a major way. When the Tom Hiddleston-starring miniseries adaptation of John Le Carré’s espionage novel hit screens in early 2016, it quickly became a huge mainstream hit – thrilling viewers with its twists and turns, cementing Hiddleston’s on-screen cool factor, and providing another great screen version of Le Carré to sit alongside Tinker Tailor and A Most Wanted Man. But, understandably, people wanted more – and there was considerable chatter about whether there may or may not be more series on the way. Ultimately, nothing ever came to fruition.

Until now. As reported by Deadline, all these years later The Night Manager will indeed be back – and the show is confirmed for not one but two more seasons at least, with Tom Hiddleston returning to star as Jonathan Pine as well as executive-producing. Season 2 is set to film later this year,...

Elizabeth Debicki Stole This Show From Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie
Image
Adaptation is tricky. Retroactive adaptation is an even thornier beast. In 2016, director Susanne Bier and writer David Farr brought espionage novelist John le Carré's 1993 book The Night Manager to screens for the first time. An unfairly excellent miniseries, The Night Manager out Bond-s James Bond in its neo-noir sleekness. In true John le Carré fashion, The Night Manager's psychological stakes are harrowing and the thriller tension electric. It's an award-winning star vehicle for Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Olivia Colman. The first two playing against type to excellent effect, and Colman, as is her wont, dominates the screen with enviable ease.

A Woman Grapples With Her Obsessive Death Anxiety in Charlotte Hamblin’s Tragicomedy ‘Everybody Dies…Sometimes’
Image
As the therapist in filmmaker Charlotte Hamblin’s quirky, offbeat dark comedy Everybody Dies…Sometimes tells us, that the only inevitability in life is death. A stark and not so comforting fact for the film’s protagonist Mara, who is struggling with the long-held belief, well supported by her tragic history, that she’ll cause the demise of anyone she gets close to. Everybody Dies…Sometimes is an oddly joyous and buoyant take on that existential doom we all face, which flashes through a series of truly funny fatal scenarios experienced by those prematurely taken from Mara’s life. Writer/Director Hamblin draws from her own lamentable over-familiarity with death in this semi-autobiographical directorial debut in which the established screenwriter’s script, coupled with Tanya Reynolds’ (Sex Education) and Mathew Horne’s (Gavin & Stacey) perfectly deadpan delivery and the film’s colourful visuals, turn the spectre of death into something to poke fun at.
