The Night Manager season 2 release schedule: When is episode 6 out?
There's no iPlayer box set for this one – but don't worry, you won't be waiting long for the next chapter.
It's been a thrilling road thus far, but it all comes down to this - The Night Manager season 2 finale is here.
The new episode will see the outcome of Jonathan Pine's (Tom Hiddleston) latest battle with his sinister nemesis, Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) - but will Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone) put a spanner in the works?
The latest episode saw the tragic death of a major character and one of Pine's team, proving that no matter what plans he may concoct, Pine will still have his work cut out for him in the finale, and shouldn't underestimate MI6 boss Mayra Cavendish (Indira Varma).
The stage is set for a blockbuster finale, with the wavering loyalties of Roper's son Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva) rendering it a tough episode to predict.
