‘The Night Manager’ season 2: One cast member speaks on renewal hopes

This weekend marks the first time in a good month and a half that we have not had new episodes of “The Night Manager” airing on BBC One, and that is a rather sad thing to think about. Yet, at least there is an airing coming in America soon on AMC, and there is talk that is continuing still about the show’s future.

One person who certainly is interested in doing more of the series is David Harewood, who played Steadman on the first season of the show. Speaking per Digital Spy, the actor had the following to say:

“I know there are rumours … I only hope I’m available. I’d love to do it again.”

As for why Harewood would not be available for a potential next season of the show, some of that comes down to “Supergirl,” where he is a regular in the role of Hank Henshaw a.k.a. the Martian Manhunter. That eats up a big chunk of the schedule, though ironically it’s not clear if that show is going to return for another season, either.

Harewood also talked a little bit about his desire to work once more with Olivia Colman, as there were some hints in season 1 that there was some sort of past connection between Steadman and her character of Burr:

“I would crawl across broken glass to work with Olivia again. She’s fantastic – a really wonderful actress. I thought we made quite a nice team – so I’d like to explore their relationship and see them working together again, for sure.”
