The Night Manager season 2 has already started in the UK, with the first two episodes dropping on January 1 and January 4. Episode 3 airs on January 11.

For US viewers, the first three episodes drop on January 11 before switching to a weekly Sunday schedule, lining up with the UK's. There will not be a BBC iPlayer boxset drop for this, so that's bad news for binge watchers.

From episode 3 onwards, here's what the release schedule looks like for everyone:

• Episode 3: January 11
• Episode 4: January 18
• Episode 5: January 25
• Episode 6: February 1

This 2-minute trailer might be short, but it teases a whole lot. There's explosions, familiar faces, new arrivals and even a flash of Hugh Laurie's Richard Roper from season 2.

Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

It also teases that "the past is a deadly weapon", so it's a dramatic return like you might expect from a show that has been gone for so long. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to dive straight back in.
