“The Night Manager” originally debuted in 2016 to much fanfare, becoming one of the most-watched shows of the year in the UK. It was nominated for numerous awards, with Hiddleston winning the Golden Globe for best actor in a limited series. He was also nominated for an Emmy for his role in the show.
