'The Night Agent' Season 2 is on the Way
by EG
Fans of the Netflix thriller series The Night Agent have been waiting well over a year to find out when they'll get a second season of the show. Now the streamer has finally revealed a release date. Although the date still a ways off, at least no there's no more uncertainty. Read on for details.
The Night Agent viewers are ready to answer the call.
The action-thriller from Sony Pictures TV and Shawn Ryan became a breakout hit for Netflix when it released in March 2023. Now, fans of the Gabriel Basso-led spy series are finally finding out when the show will return.
Season two will release Jan. 23, 2025, slightly later than Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos predicted the show would return. The news came with a teaser announcement (below) showing Peter Sutherland (Basso) back on the run and calling the top-secret White House number of which he was initially on the receiving end.
Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent season one centered on then low-level FBI Agent Peter, whose efforts to save the president now earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent in season two. But working in the secretive organization of Night Action will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.
In its first month of release, the first season of Night Agent reigned as No. 1 in the Global Top 10 for four consecutive weeks. It went on to become the second-most-watched original streaming series in the U.S. 2023 and currently ranks seventh all time among English-language series in the streamer’s internal rankings (which measure viewing for 13 weeks after a show’s premiere).
The show earned a speedy season two renewal days after its release, followed by a season three pick up that was announced last month; production will begin late 2024 in Istanbul and continue in New York after the new year. (The delay in the show’s return is due to the 2023 dual Hollywood strikes.)
