‘The Night Manager’ Creator Confirms the True Nature of Jonathan and Teddy’s Relationship, and Explains Why [SPOILER] and [SPOILER] Had to Die in the Season 2 Finale

Key Highlights

• The Prime Video spy thriller, based on the works of author John le Carré, brought back its troubled intelligence agent Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) for what was initially pitched as a new mission into the depths of Colombia and the treacherous world of young arms dealer Teddy De Santos (Diego Calva).
• But rather quickly, the series from creator/writer David Farr revealed it wasn’t as divorced from its first season as it wanted viewers to believe.

• Instead, Roper had faked his death by blackmailing Jonathan’s former handler Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), and disappeared into the jungles of Colombia for cover as he planned his next act.
• Helping his cause was the son he’d fathered as a young man but largely ignored until he needed something — Teddy, who was eager to help the father he always longed to know.
