The BBC have announced hit drama The Night Manager will return once again as Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as Jonathan Pine.
The multi-award winning show will return for two new series, with filming due to begin later this year.
Tom, 43, will be back on screens as the story picks up where it last ended eight years ago after the explosive finale of season one.
Inspired by the characters in John le Carré's best-selling novel, the first series of The Night Manager won multiple BAFTAs, Emmy Awards, and Golden Globes and was watched by more than 10 million viewers, making it one of 2016's most watched TV shows.
Tom even bagged himself a Best Actor at the Golden Globes for the role. Speaking about the show he gushed: 'The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on.

'The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect.
'I'm so looking forward to reuniting with Simon and Stephen Cornwell, David Farr and Stephen Garrett, and to working with Georgi Banks-Davies to tell the next chapter of our story. I can't wait.'
Tom and his co-star Hugh Laurie will also be executive producers on the series, which is being made by The Ink Factory.
The new seasons will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and globally on Prime Video, in a deal negotiated by FIFTH SEASON, which is handling global distribution of the series.
Series creator David Farr said: 'John le Carré's work has long been an inspiration to me and working closely with him on Season 1 was an honour and a pleasure.'
Speaking about how he was hesitant to extend the story beyond the book he explained: 'an idea came to me a couple of years ago which felt truthful to that unique world of dark corners and shady identities.
'No one marries the suspense of espionage with a deep exploration of the human soul quite like le Carré. I hope that in some way we can pay homage to his uneasy genius in this new exploration.'
Discussing working with Tom again he added: 'I am thrilled to be working again with Tom Hiddleston, Stephen Garrett and The Ink Factory team, and to be welcoming the brilliant director Georgi Banks-Davies into our ranks.'
Meanwhile BAFTA winner Georgi Banks-Davies is set to direct the series, after the show's former director, Susanne Bier, previously ruled herself out of the running.
Tom starred alongside Hugh Laurie as Richard Onslow Roper, Elizabeth Debicki as Jed Marshall Olivia Colman as Angela Burr and Tom Hollander as Major Lance Corkoran (pictured L-R)

Fans were delighted at the news as they took to Twitter to rejoice
The BBC show initially aired in 2016 and was met with critical acclaim - winning two Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards - including Best Actor for Tom
She told Radio Times in 2019: 'I'm not doing Night Manager 2. I wasn't sure that I would do my very best work the second time round – so I decided that I should probably not do it and have somebody [else direct it].
'I think part of it is that as a director you have to have a crazy huge challenge,' she continued. 'I don't necessarily think that if a challenge becomes 'Do something different from what you did last time' – I don't think that's an organic challenge.
'I just got worried that I would repeat myself or do something which wasn't as great, but I think somebody else is going to do an amazing job out of it,' she concluded.
Fans were delighted at the news as they took to Twitter to rejoice writing: 'Such a great adaptation! It’s one of my favourites of his novels and I was always amazed people didn’t talk about it more (until the TV)'.
'Amazing!!!'; 'This is SO exciting!'; 'Excellent'; 'Long overdue. First series was brilliant.'; 'Brilliant news. Thanks!'; 'Alléluia'; 'YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS'.
Another hoped Olivia Colman will also return to the cast, as they pleaded: 'I hope Olivia Colman will be there. It wouldn't be the same without her!!'
Meanwhile BBC Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore said of the news: 'After years of fervent speculation I'm incredibly excited to confirm that The Night Manager is returning to the BBC for two more series.
'The multi award winning show was lauded by audiences and critics and catapulted British drama onto the global stage in 2016.
'Glamorous and sophisticated, it had the nation hooked. Bold storytelling and a stellar line up in front of and behind the camera made it unmissable viewing and the scale and ambition behind the new season will take it to even greater heights.'
