One of the biggest shows of the year The Night Manager is now streaming on Disney+Hotstar. The show is the official remake of the BBC series of the same name. Also, both of them are based on a book by John le Carré.
Regardless, the original BBC series is currently streaming on Prime Video and has 6 episodes in total. They range from around 57 minutes to one hour.
On the other hand, the new Disney+Hotstar series has only 4 episodes. Also, the episodes are of shorter duration?
How is that possible? Did Hotstar leave some important details of the show?
No, it is all a part of a strategy to keep you wanting more. The show has a big buzz and it is made on a high budget. So, naturally, Hotstar would want it to stay in people’s memory for a long long time.
This strategy has worked for Criminal Justice on Hotstar itself. While the original British series had only 2 seasons, the Hindi adaptation ran up to 3 seasons.
This may be the case with The Night Manager as well. They might release part 2 of the series with the details that are yet to cover from the original story.
The buzz says that the second installment will arrive sometime in June this year. Let’s see how it goes and stay tuned to Binged for an official and quick update on the same.
