Hit BBC drama The Night Manager has made a triumphant return for a second series, a decade after its acclaimed debut. Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as Jonathan Pine, who now faces off against two formidable new characters. One of them is the shrewd Roxana Bolaños, portrayed by actress Camila Morrone.
Introducing Roxana Bolaños: A New Force in The Night Manager
Roxana Bolaños is a sharp businesswoman who runs a shipping company and becomes a vital intelligence asset. Her information about suspicious activity on one of her vessels draws Jonathan Pine into a perilous undercover mission within the orbit of arms dealer Teddy Dos Santos, played by Diego Calva. Morrone has described her character as "unpredictable, resilient and brave", deliberately avoiding the simple femme fatale trope. "She's the smartest person in the room," the actress emphasised, praising screenwriter David Farr's "genius" scripts for creating such a nuanced role.
Who is actress Camila Morrone?
Born in California to Argentine parents, Camila Morrone, 28, first gained significant attention for her role in the Prime Video music drama Daisy Jones & The Six. Her performance as band photographer Camila Alvarez earned her an Emmy nomination. Her film career includes the indie coming-of-age drama Mickey and the Bear, which attracted critical praise, as well as roles in Never Goin' Back, Death Wish, and Valley Girl.
On-set chemistry and a decade-long wait
Discussing her co-stars, Morrone had high praise for Tom Hiddleston's relentless energy and focus, noting he is "one of the most invested actors I've ever worked with." She also highlighted a special bond with Diego Calva, rooted in their shared Latin American heritage, which mirrored their characters' connection. The return of The Night Manager on 02 January 2026 marks the end of a long wait for fans, promising a new chapter of high-stakes espionage.
The Night Manager is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
