What's the story?
Jonathan Pine, now going by the alias Alex Goodwin, thought he'd left the spy world behind. But when he spots a familiar face from his past, he's pulled back into action. This time, he's up against Teddy Dos Santos, a Colombian arms dealer, and teams up with Roxana Bolaños to infiltrate Dos Santos' operations. The plot thickens as Pine gets entangled in a deadly conspiracy involving arms and the training of a guerrilla army. The new season expands the story beyond the original novel, introducing new locations, characters, and even higher stakes.
Behind the Scenes:
The creative team includes Frank Murray and Frida Torresblanco, alongside returning producers Stephen Garrett and Simon Cornwell. Executive producers include David Farr, Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, and Nick Cornwell, representing John le Carré. Filming took place in multiple countries, including the UK, Spain, Colombia, and France.
But here's where it gets controversial...
Hugh Laurie, who played the iconic Richard Roper in Season 1, returns as an executive producer. Could this hint at a potential connection to the new season, or is it just a nod to the past?
And this is the part most people miss...
The series is already confirmed for a third season, meaning the story will continue beyond this upcoming chapter.
