The God of mischief might be off in a different timeline prepping for a second season but we still need something to put in our eyes. Assuming you’ve already binged the MCU shows WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we’ve rounded up some other great series that could scratch that Loki-shaped itch. Some of these are spiritually similar, some are great showcases of Loki’s cast and others explore similar themes. All are crackers though and well worth setting your tempad for.

This Brit black comedy which aired on Channel 4 in the UK ran for two seasons, each equally special. Is it similar to Loki?

“Thor” star Tom Hiddleston is set to front a 10-part political thriller for Netflix, Variety has confirmed.
Produced by “Sex Education” firm Eleven, “White Stork” will find Hiddleston, whose most recent credits have largely related to the Marvel universe, playing politician James Cooper, whose parliamentary ambitions and personal life are thwarted when he is the subject of a vetting process by Asher Millan.
The series is created, written and executive produced by “Jericho” scribe Chris Dunlop. It is directed by Kristoffer Nyholm.
As reported by Variety, the series was previously with AMC, and has been in development for several years. It was formerly titled “Spadehead.”
The project marks something of a departure for Hiddleston, who has most recently graced the big screen as Thor’s nemesis Loki under the “Thor” and “Avengers” franchise. He’s also set to lead Disney Plus series “Loki,” which is currently filming.

Exclusive: The writers’ room for the secretive second season of The Night Manager is complete and it’s more gender balanced than it first appeared.
I understand that Humans and Black Mirror writer Namsi Khan and The Man In The High Castle writer Francesca Gardiner are joining British spy author Charles Cumming and up-and-coming British writer Matthew Orton in the room for the sophomore run of the BBC and AMC thriller.
Although the show has yet to be officially recommissioned, and there’s plenty of rumors as to what shape it will take and which stars will return, I hear that the foursome are in full swing, working on plots for the “slowly developing” drama.

The secretive second season of The Night Manager is coming together after British spy author Charles Cumming revealed that he was part of the writing team.
Cumming is the second name to emerge for the mysterious group of scribes after Deadline revealed in November that up-and-coming British writer Matthew Orton is on board to pen The Ink Factory-produced second season of the John Le Carré spy thriller.
Orton and Cumming are understood to make up two of the four writers that are working on the series, which has not been officially picked up by British public broadcaster BBC One or U.S. cable network AMC. In fact, The Ink Factory are being increasingly coy about the show’s return, although as one source close to the company remarked, given that it’s a spy drama, it’s no surprise it’s under wraps.

Last year’s lavishly-set miniseries The Night Manager was an impressive and slick television event. Adapting the 1993 novel of the same name by the iconic English espionage author John le Carré, the miniseries, a joint intercontinental offering from the BBC and AMC, starred Tom Hiddleston as an ex-soldier-turned hotelier who is thrust into the world of an amoral arms dealer played by Hugh Laurie. While its six-episode run did come to a seemingly satisfying conclusion, fans will be delighted to hear that a second season could, nevertheless, be on the horizon.

Dci John Luther (Idris Elba) speaks in terse, staccato sentences, as if to match the impression his heavy gait and muscular frame leave on his interlocutors: “Aight mate?” the owner of a gangland watering hole asks him in the fourth installment of “Luther.” “Lookin’ a bit militant there.”
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), by contrast, speaks in stem-winding, breathless paragraphs, holding his reedy figure still as if to conserve energy for his acumen: “You’re clearly acclimatized to never getting to the end of a sentence,” he tells Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) in “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.” “We’ll get along splendidly.”

TV: now more than ever! With online-streaming platforms firing on all cylinders, cable upstarts making their name in the game, and networks clawing at one another for viewership, there's an embarrassment of riches on the tube — and this year's lineup of Emmy nominees fully reflects that. In terms of sheer numbers, it's a lot to manage. Squeezing in all the Best Picture Oscar nominees every year? Solidly doable. Committing to two dozen full seasons of television? We hope you have stock in Visine and aren't big on that whole "sleep" thing.

There’s a lot of things that Tom Hiddleston is great at, one of them is making everyone swoon with his charming good looks and cheeky grin. So prepare yourself to watch the “Thor” actor staring into your soul as he reads an excerpt from John le Carré’s “The Night Manager.”
The four-minute video, courtesy of The Guardian, shows the Emmy-nominated actor sitting on a stool in front of a black backdrop, holding the novel in his hand.

It was a change that more than made sense to Olivia Colman. “In 2016, all the decision-making characters should bloody well be women!” she recently told IndieWire.
As Burr, who recruits Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) into the spy game, Colman simultaneously brings a hard edge and a maternal energy to the role — perhaps in part aided by the fact that she was heavily pregnant while filming, something that was written into the script after her casting. “I was massive all the way through it,” she said with a laugh.

The king is awaken in the first poster for the highly-anticipated film, “Kong: Skull Island.” An impressive new one-sheet was released by Warner Bros. and features a lone explorer on top of a massive skull, looking at a colossal Kong in the background.
Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the action/adventure flick is set in the ‘70s and centers on King Kong’s origins. Following a group of explorers who travel to an uncharted island, they soon find out that things aren’t quite as they appear. Tom Hiddleston plays Captain James Conrad, a former British Sas officer and Brie Larson plays Weaver, a photojournalist and peace activist who wants to “work with the nature and with these creatures rather than fight against them.” Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman and “Straight Outta Compton” stars Jason Mitchell and Corey Hawkins also co-star.

10. “The Night Manager”
It took Oscar-winning filmmaker Susanne Bier to finally bring John Le Carre’s espionage thriller to life, and boy, did she ever. The miniseries was striking in every way, from the global locales and picturesque hotels to the way characters were displayed upon such backdrops. More than just eye candy, Tom Hiddleston as soldier-turned-spy Jonathan Pine was a man with a mission, quietly stoic in the face of his nemesis Richard Roper, played with dangerous glee by Hugh Laurie. Olivia Colman brought the heart, Elizabeth Debicki the heartache and Tom Hollander a sense of impotent rage. The storytelling was large in scale yet intimate in how it played out, and it’s no wonder that viewers are hoping for more, even though Le Carre never wrote a sequel.

The storytelling was large in scale yet intimate in how it played out, and it’s no wonder that viewers are hoping for more, even though Le Carre never wrote a sequel.

The Clothespin
Time-jumping Jake (James Franco) may have been a man of the modern world, but even he was not ready to hear about Sadie’s (Sarah Gadon) wedding day deflowering by her ex-husband Johnny (T.R. Knight) that involved him having a clothespin clipped down between his legs and raping her. Wait, what? While we put a pin in that moment (aka, hit pause) so we could frantically Google “clothespin penis,” it dawned on us just how twisted Johnny actually was and how it was just a taste of the sadism to come.

Just four days after his dance-off with Taylor Swift, Tom Hiddleston showed once again why he's got the magic touch. The man who just may be the future James Bond shared a hug with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at the BBC Radio 2 studios in London on Friday. Camilla was there to discuss the children's literary competition, 500 Words with DJ Chris Evans. Hiddleston was there promoting his latest film, and the pair had a chance to chat and pose for a picture together. And when the actor affectionately put his arm around the 68-year-old-royal, it prompted speculation that Hiddleston had broken royal protocol.

When AMC announced their mini-series adaptation of The Night Manager, John le Carre's taut spy thriller, they had us at four words: Tom Hiddleston on TV. The idea of one of our favorite hunks making his way from the big screen to our TV screens got us a more excited than we're probably proud to admit, but tonight's premiere (part one of six) did not disappoint. We didn't get a brooding shot of Hiddleston's Jonathan Pine laying in bed with only a sheet draped extremely carefully across his midsection for nothing, folks. But who knew the hour would leave us hungering for more of different British star: House himself, Hugh Laurie. The mini-series centers on Hiddleston's Pine, the titular...

AMC’s reimagining of John le Carré’s thrilling post-Cold War novel The Night Manager premieres Tuesday and follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) as he attempts to infiltrate the inner circle of an international arms dealer (Hugh Laurie) and exact revenge. But to gain the trust of and earn a part among these linen-clad devils, Pine must himself become a criminal. Director Susanne Bier helms the six-part series, which has several le Carré-approved changes to the plot. “The last two episodes are vastly different from the book,” she reveals. “What I aimed at was to keep the core of … Continue reading →

Late in AMC's six-part spy thriller The Night Manager, Jonathan Pine, the dashing undercover operative played by Tom Hiddleston, slides into a casino bar and orders a vodka martini. Though he doesn't clarify whether he'd prefer it shaken or stirred, the drink order, the locale, and the well-tailored suit Jonathan wears like a second skin all can't help but evoke images of Hiddleston playing James Bond. The Night Manager, which debuts tonight at 10 (airing in 75-minute timeslots because the episodes — which already aired on the BBC — are longer than U.S. basic cable standard), is from another, more reserved school of British espionage literature. Adapted by writer David Farr and director Susanne Bier from the 1993 novel by John le Carré, it moves at a leisurely pace, more interested in atmosphere than action, and making sure its plot — where former soldier and hotel manager Jonathan goes undercover in the organization of...

The Night Manager actor says secret agents’ mutability and capacity for self-invention are themselves dangerous qualities to possess
The modern-day spy requires all the “innate courage and skill set” of John le Carré’s most famous cold war protagonists in a digital age, according to Tom Hiddleston, star of The Night Manager.
The 35-year-old actor, who plays spy Jonathan Pine in a BBC adaptation of the Le Carré novel, said the plot may be a far cry from Smiley, but the role of the undercover agent today is, arguably, more dangerous.

That’s a pretty damning description of arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (House‘s Hugh Laurie) in AMC’s upcoming six-part miniseries The Night Manager — and if it’s true, then former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Thor‘s Tom Hiddleston) had better tread carefully as he infiltrates Roper’s operations.

John le Carre‘s “The Night Manager” is more than 20 years old, so it took some work to update the spy novel to a modern setting for AMC’s 6-episode miniseries. “The Night Manager” stars Tom Hiddleston as a former British soldier named Jonathan Pine, who is recruited by an intelligence operative, played by Olivia Coleman, to infiltrate the inner circle of lethal arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper, played by Hugh Laurie. “The world has changed radically, the players have changed, the technology,” said executive producer Simon Cornwell. “One of the sad things is that moral questions, ambiguities is very much there.
