The Night Manager was a big success for BBC and AMC, winning a pair of Emmys and a trio of Golden Globes along with lots of acclaim, so it's no surprise they going back for a second helping of John le Carré.

The second co-production between the pair sees them taking on the author's 1983 novel The Little Drummer Girl. Another spy drama, on the surface at least, The Little Drummer Girl follows young actress Charlie as she finds a holiday romance with a man called Becker, who turns out to be an Israeli intelligence officer, sucking her into a game of espionage.

A mix of spies and romance, the miniseries will be directed by Oldboy's Park Chan-wook, and the incredible cast features Florence Pugh, Alexander Skarsgård, Michael Shannon, and Charles Dance.

Air Date: TBC (expected November)
