Telemystery: The Night Manager, based on a Suspense Thriller by John le Carré, Premieres Tuesday April 19th on AMC

The six-part mini-series event The Night Manager premieres this coming Tuesday, April 19th, on AMC.

A contemporary interpretation of John le Carré's best-selling spy novel, the storyline follows hotel manager Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) in his quest to bring down international arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Pine, a former soldier, is thrust into a world of international intrigue when he is recruited by a British intelligence officer (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate Roper's inner circle. To get to the heart of Roper's vast empire, Pine must withstand the allure of his beautiful girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki) and the suspicious interrogations of his venal chief of staff Major Corkoran (Tom Hollander). In his quest to do the right thing, Pine must first become a criminal himself.

Originally published in 1993, The Night Manager was le Carré's first post-Cold War novel. Watch a trailer for the mini-series, below.
