‘The Night Agent’: everything we know about season 2 on Netflix

We had no doubt that ‘The Night Agent’, the new thriller that is sweeping Netflix, would soon earn a second season. The production has left its mark since its premiere on March 23 in the Netflix series catalog and now it looks directly at its continuation: Season 2 of ‘The Night Agent’ is on the way and this is all we know about its possible release date, synopsis, cast and more.

Created by Shawn Ryan and based on the novels by Matthew Quirkthe story follows an FBI agent, Peter Sutherland (played by Gabriel Basso), who is dedicated to monitoring a phone that never rings in the basement of the White House… until, one night, someone calls to put him in the dark. full of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest spheres of power in the United States.

“Seeing the tremendous reaction to the series has been a great joy and is a credit to our cast, our writers, our directors, our crew, and our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix.. We couldn’t be more proud or excited to kick off Season 2 to share the new adventures of Action Night with our new fans,” Ryan said in a statement following the renewal announcement at the end of March 2023. This is all we’ve got! we know so far!

‘The night agent’, season 2: release date

Still There is no release date for season 2 of ‘The Night Agent’ on Netflix. Now, with such an early renewal (barely a week after its premiere) and taking the production of the first season as an example (it took six months to shoot and was released eight months later), we venture to guess that it will premiere in the Spring 2024. We will have to wait for official confirmation!

‘The night agent’, season 2: cast

The cast of season 2 of ‘The Night Agent’ will not be the same as in the first season, at least not completely. This is due, on the one hand, to the fact that we will be changing scenarios and, also, to the fact that many of the characters we have met died in shootings and explosions in the previous season. More on that in the ‘synopsis’ section, which comes with spoilers.

for now, the only sure thing is that we will meet again with Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, great protagonist of the story. Perhaps we could even see Luciane Buchanan again as Rose Larkin, the cybersecurity expert with whom she formed a great tandem to discover the truth about the conspiracy they were involved in.

We’ll be on the lookout for more cast confirmations for season 2.

‘The Night Agent’, season 2: synopsis

Series creator Shawn Ryan explained in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter what the future of the series could look like: “Said [a Sony y Netfix] that each season will tell a self-contained story that has a beginning, middle, and end. We could leave a couple of things to continue in future seasons.”. He added: “That was the original plan; I think it’s still a pretty solid plan. It was important to me. I don’t want to tell this specific story over five seasons, I want to tell this specific story in one season and give audiences some satisfaction for that they can see an outcome”.

This may indicate that season 2 of ‘The Night Agent’ will only keep its protagonist, Peter Sutherland, and that the rest will possibly be a new case with new protagonists and settings. Although we doubt that they will put aside his relationship with Rose Larkin, who could continue to be an important character in the face of the new chapter of the story. At the moment there is no official confirmation on what paths the story could take.

In the season 1 finale of ‘The Night Agent’, after having saved the life of the President of the United States and having revealed those responsible for a conspiracy to create tensions in the country, Peter is offered the chance to become a full-fledged Night Agent, and he agrees. Thus, in the last sequence, we see how he says goodbye to Rose at the airport and gets on a plane whose address he still does not know: all the information is in a mysterious envelope that contains his next mission, the one we will see in season 2. Unfortunately, they won’t let us keep an eye on it! We will have to wait to find out more.
