The Night Agent Season 2: Teaser, First look, Release date, Third Season?, & more About Gabriel Basso’s Thriller
Netflix has just dropped the first-look images for The Night Agent season two, and the excitement doesn't stop there — the show has also been renewed for a third season, months ahead of the season two premiere.
This thrilling conspiracy drama, based on Matthew Quirk's novel, became an instant sensation in 2023, ranking among Netflix’s most-watched series. The first season followed FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he uncovered a dangerous conspiracy within the US government, leaving fans eager for more.
Season one ended with Sutherland successfully exposing the conspiracy, but the new season promises to take him into uncharted territory as he steps into a new role as a night agent. The recent photos from Netflix offer a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come, and the early renewal for season three hints that even more high-stakes action awaits.
Wondering what’s next for Peter and how season two will unfold? We’ve got all the latest details, from cast updates to potential plot twists. Stay tuned, as we’ll continue to update this article with fresh news as it becomes available!
Release date & Where to Watch
The ten-episode season is set to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025.
Plot
The Night Agent is an action-packed thriller based on Matthew Quirk's novel. It centers on Peter Sutherland, a low-level FBI agent tasked with manning a phone in the White House basement — a phone that rarely rings until it does, launching him into a dangerous conspiracy.
In season one, Peter uncovers a plot that reaches the highest levels of government, including a conspiracy within the Oval Office. His efforts to thwart the threat and save President Michelle Travers earn him a spot in the secret Night Action program, an off-the-books organization designed to tackle missions beyond the reach of traditional intelligence agencies.
Season two will pick up from Peter's promotion and see him diving deeper into the dangerous world of Night Action. Unlike season one, which followed Quirk's novel, the upcoming season will explore original storylines since the author did not write a sequel.
Showrunner Shawn Ryan has hinted at new locations, mostly fresh characters, and a new mission for Peter, with only a few familiar faces returning from the first season. The narrative will focus on a new adventure, pushing Peter further into situations where danger is constant, and trust is scarce.
The romance between Peter and Rose Larkin, which developed in the first season, is also set to face new challenges as their lives diverge, with Peter’s spy work and Rose’s tech career in Silicon Valley. Additionally, unresolved plot threads from season one, such as the fate of villains Diane Farr and Gordon Wick, could play a role in the new season.
The Night Agent promises to deliver fresh, high-stakes thrills while keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with its complex characters and evolving narrative.

Will The Night Agent have a Season 3?
Yes! The Night Agent has already been renewed for a third season, with production set to start in late 2024 in Istanbul before moving back to New York in 2025. The show’s renewal isn’t surprising, as it debuted at the top of Netflix's English TV chart, racking up an impressive 168.17 million viewing hours in its first week and staying in the top 10 for four weeks across 93 countries.
Creator Shawn Ryan expressed excitement for season three, confirming they’ve already started writing it. Ryan, who signed a four-year deal with Netflix, hinted that this partnership might lead to spin-offs in The Night Agent universe, similar to what Netflix did with The Witcher and Bridgerton.
While we don’t know much about the plot for season three, it’s safe to assume Gabriel Basso will return as Peter Sutherland. In a Netflix Tudum interview, Basso hinted at more intense storytelling opportunities, noting that Peter has become “a cog in the machine,” setting up exciting potential for future seasons.
Filming
Filming for The Night Agent season two began on Feb. 5, 2024, in New York City, with additional locations in Thailand and Washington D.C. By March 2024, the production team marked the first season’s anniversary by sharing new behind-the-scenes photos. Notably, star Gabriel Basso was spotted filming exciting helicopter sequences, giving fans a sneak peek into the action-packed season ahead.
The show’s creator, Shawn Ryan, confirmed that the writers had been striking since May 1, 2023, but resumed work on October 2, 2023, after the strike concluded in late September.
The second season wrapped up filming on June 7, 2024, though Netflix officially announced the completion on June 17, 2024.
