Tom Hiddleston exchanges withering glances with Hugh Laurie in the new trailer for AMC’s “The Night Manager."

Developed in partnership with BBC One, the limited series is based on John le Carre’s 1993 spy novel of the same name and follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston), who’s recruited by an operative (Olivia Colman of “Broadchurch”) to infiltrate an alliance operating between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. However, to penetrate the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie), Pine finds he must become a criminal himself.

The six-part miniseries debuts Tuesday, April 16, on AMC.
