If reports are to be believed, the new season will start filming later this year.

Indira Varma joins Tom Hiddleston in ‘The Night Manager 2’

According to reports, Season 2 of the much-loved British spy-thriller series The Night Manager has added Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi, and Hayley Squires to the cast.

This news comes shortly after it was revealed that Daisy Jones & The Six star Camila Morrone had joined the cast, in addition to Babylon breakout Diego Calva also signing on to play a pivotal part.


Star Tom Hiddleston, who plays Jonathan Pine, a luxury hotel manager who gets wrapped up in a crime syndicate conspiracy, is the only one confirmed to be reprising his role from the first season.

The Night Manager is based on John le Carré’s novel. It returns for two new seasons produced by BBC and Prime Video. The first season aired in 2016 and turned out to be a major success. The series was later adapted in India with Aditya Roy Kapur and Anil Kapoor playing lead parts.

Varma has several successful projects to her name, but most fans recognize her from her role as Ellaria Sand in Game of Thrones. She recently appeared opposite Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One and also plays The Duchess in the newest season of the Ncuti Gatwa-led Doctor Who.

If reports are to be believed, the new season will start filming later this year. It picks up eight years after the first season. Elizabeth Debicki played Jed Marshall in the first season but will not return for the new season.

David Farr, the series creator, will write the new seasons. Georgi Banks-Davies is onboard to direct all of Season 2. Stephen Garrett leads production, and Hugh Laurie is attached as the executive producer.

Season 2 will be available on BBC One and iPlayer in the U.K., with Prime Video holding international rights.

Nick Jonas says it's 'scary' to imagine daughter Malti in showbiz after what he and Priyanka faced

Nick Jonas is no stranger to fame. From performing on Broadway as a child to becoming one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he’s spent most of his life under the spotlight. His wife, Priyanka Chopra, entered the world of glamour as a teenager, winning Miss World at 18 before making it big in Bollywood and then Hollywood. So, it’s only natural that people are curious whether their daughter, Malti Marie, might follow in their footsteps.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Nick opened up about the possibility. When asked whether he’d be okay with his daughter getting into the entertainment industry at a young age, he paused before saying it’s a decision she’ll have to make herself. While three-year-old Malti already enjoys singing, Nick admitted that the idea of her stepping into such a demanding field so early is unsettling.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.
