Prime Video’s 12-Part Spy Thriller Series With Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Keeps Getting Better With 2026 Return

by

The spy thriller series on Prime Video is consistently one of the best in the genre, and it’s remarkably improving even after ten seasons. Viewers have become accustomed to waiting a long time for new seasons of their favorite shows. These days, most popular streaming series don’t return for at least two years, and Prime Video is part of that trend.

Several Prime Video series, including shows like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Invincible, and Fleabag, have used time jumps spanning multiple years. Apple TV+’s excellent spy thriller, Slow Horses, avoids this with its yearly releases. However, one Prime Video spy show has a significant gap between seasons, but it consistently gets better with each new installment.

The Night Manager Is One Of The Best Spy Thrillers In Recent Memory

Season one of The Night Manager premiered on February 21, 2016, and was very popular. However, it took a decade for the British spy thriller to return. Fortunately, it’s back! Season two began streaming on January 1st, 2026, and all six episodes are now available on Prime Video for fans of the genre to enjoy.

I just finished watching the first season of The Night Manager, and it’s a gripping thriller. It centers around Jonathan Pine, played brilliantly by Tom Hiddleston, who’s living a quiet life as a hotel manager but has a hidden past as a soldier. He gets pulled back into the world of espionage when Olivia Colman’s character, a sharp intelligence operative, recruits him for a dangerous mission: bringing down Richard Roper, a very dangerous man with ties to a personal tragedy in Pine’s life. It’s a really compelling setup and Hiddleston is fantastic in the lead role.

The second season expands on the world of international spying, with Pine pursuing a younger arms dealer connected to Roper. Widely considered one of the best spy thrillers of the last ten years, The Night Manager offers a quicker pace than shows like Slow Horses. It’s also packed with more action than The Agency and boasts a more complex storyline than The Night Agent.

How The Night Manager Keeps Getting Better 10 Years Later

After a decade off the air, the show The Night Manager needed a compelling new storyline to bring viewers back. The second season delivers, proving popular with audiences on Prime Video. Currently, The Night Manager is the 5th most-watched show on Prime Video globally.

Season 2 of The Night Manager has received strong reviews, earning a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This season expands the story and increases the tension, with Tom Hiddleston delivering a compelling performance as the central spy. Good news for fans: the show has already been renewed for a third season, meaning there won’t be another long wait. The future of The Night Manager looks promising.
