by · Mail Online

BBC viewers went wild on Thursday night as they watched a teaser for the hotly-anticipated second series of The Night Manager. 

The show, which made Tom Hiddleston a national heartthrob, is back after nine years off screens - and it is racier than ever with threesomes and steamy shower scenes.

The actor, 44, reprises his role as former British intelligence operative, Jonathan Pine, while Olivia Colman, 51, will return as Angela Burr for the six-part series. 

Camila Morrone, 28, meanwhile, will replace Elizabeth Debicki as the main love interest of the show. 

The trailer opens with Jonathan being told: 'A lot of intelligence officers come through this room. They sit there and they smile just like you. The ones I really worry about say nothing and then one day they explode.

'Tell me who you really are.'

To which he replies, as action-packed scenes including explosions and high speed chases play out: 'I am the man who will not explode'.

The action is expected to expand the story of the novel of the same name by writer John le Carré, which follows an ex-soldier helping penetrate the secret world of ruthless arms dealers.

Now living under the alias Alex Goodwin, low-level MI6 agent Jonathan is running a quiet surveillance unit in London, with a comfortable and uneventful life. 

But one night, after a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new foe: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos. 

Following the shady character, played by Diego Calva, on a perilous new journey, Pine will come across Roxana Bolaños, portrayed by Camila Morrone. 

The businesswoman helps him to infiltrate Teddy’s arms operation on the ground in Colombia, and the agent is once again plunged into a deep into a deadly plot involving arms and training of a guerrilla army.

The tense action will see allegiances splinter, as Jonathan has to race to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilise a nation.
