Eddie Peng, Sean Lau’s Chinese-Language ‘Night Manager’ Adds to Cast Ahead of Filmart

The Ink Factory has expanded the cast of its Chinese-language adaptation of The Night Manager, adding a slate of new supporting players and special appearances. The additional lineup was unveiled on the eve of Hong Kong’s Filmart — Asia’s leading film and television content market, running March 17–20 — where the title could be a top draw among regional buyers.

The new additions include veteran Hong Kong actor Michael Dao, Malaysian actor Frederick Lee, rising Hong Kong actor George Au, and Hong Kong performers Alan Luk, Justin Chu and Elizabeth Tang, alongside special appearances by Carl Ng and Amy Lo. The names join the previously announced leads Eddie Peng and Sean Lau, alongside Isabella Leong and Carman Lee.

The project is a pan-Asian reimagining of John le Carré’s espionage classic, produced with 127 Wall Productions and set to premiere on Youku in mainland China in late 2026, with Fifth Season handling global sales outside China.
