The Night Agent is back on Netflix for a second season, and though its stars remain the same, there are several new characters and cast members for audiences to familiarize themselves with. The Night Agent’s season 1 ending saw Peter Sutherland save the president’s life, causing him to be promoted from Night Action to Night Agent, meaning he’s moving from the basement telephone desk to the field of international operations. Much of the second season will be about whether Peter is up to the task or if his success in season 1 was a fluke.
Netflix has preemptively renewed The Night Agent for season 3 as well.
Of course, Gabriel Basso will be returning to play the lead role as Peter Sutherland, with Luciane Buchanan joining him as his partner in crime (or law), Rose Larkin. That being said, the season will explore primarily new characters and a new conspiracy, meaning several members of the original cast won’t be returning, including Hong Chau’s Diane Farr, Robert Patrick’s Jamie Hawkins, and more. With so many new faces, The Night Agent’s season 2 story is able to be just as exciting and mysterious as the first, though with the added bonus of familiarity with the two leads.
