Elizabeth Debicki is being replaced by Victoria Secret’s model Camila Morrone in the new series of The Night Manager, according to new reports. While Tom Hiddleston, 43, is returning to the smash hit series, it seems The Crown star, 33, won’t be.
Camila, 26, who previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio, decided to act full-time after she starred in Daisy Jones & The Six. According to sources, a TV insider said:
‘While many of the big names involved in the first series will be returning for the second, Camila is a sensational new addition.’
Tom Hiddleston, who was careful about getting the story right for a sequel, shared that they worked very closely with John Le Carré before he passed away. He said:
‘We were working very closely with John Le Carré, the great writer who wrote the original novel and many others who sadly passed away a few years ago but he had a huge input on the story.’
He elaborated further:
‘Principal author John Le Carré seemed so happy with our adaptation the first time and that was such a relief. So if we were to go again we needed to find the right story.’
It was confirmed this week that multi-award winning BBC spy thriller would be back for two more series, following the explosive season one finale in 2016. Tom, who plays Jonathan Pine, recently revealed more details about the much-anticipated return. He added:
‘What is so fascinating about le Carré is his stories often emerge within him in response to the world as he found it.’

Tigers went out for killing. Speaking of which, Hiddleston continued:
‘It could be awkward if they do bump into each other on set. It should work since we took time to get everything right.’
The BBC show initially aired in 2016 and was met with critical acclaim – winning two Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards – including Best Actor for Tom.
