The Night Manager Season 2 — Production Designer Victor Molero on Global Location Design, VFX Builds, and Character Spaces

Production Designer Victor Molero joins Decorating Pages to break down the production design of Season 2 of The Night Manager (Prime Video). This episode dives into global location strategy across London, Colombia, and Spain, plus how Tenerife (Canary Islands) doubled for multiple countries.

Victor shares the behind-the-scenes process of designing sets that support character psychology — from clinical, minimal spaces that signal loneliness to “luxury trap” environments built to feel beautiful but claustrophobic. The conversation covers scenic painting and aging, custom tiles, museum-scale set dressing and artwork, VFX architectural additions, and building a jungle camp set with practical atmosphere.

If you love production design, set decoration, art department workflow, and world-building for TV, this episode is packed with craft details.
