Filming has commenced for the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s unexpected hit, The Night Agent. Conceived by Shawn Ryan (known for S.W.A.T) and adapted from Matthew Quirk’s novel of the same title, The Night Agent, centers around FBI Agent Peter Sutherland, portrayed by Gabriel Basso.
Sutherland is ensnared in a labyrinthine conspiracy entangling the US government, a Russian informant, and a traumatized former CEO, Rose Larkin (played by Luciane Buchanan), at least in the inaugural season.
The ensemble cast features Eve Harlow, D.B. Woodside, Sarah Desjardins, Ben Cotton, Kari Matchett, Robert Patrick, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Phoenix Rael, Christopher Shyer, Robert Patrick, Toby Levins, Enrique Muriciano, and Oscar nominee Hong Chau.

Joining the ensemble for the forthcoming season are Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect), Teddy Sears (The Flash), Arienne Mandi (The L Word: Generation Q), Louis Herthum (The Peripheral), and Berto Colon (Power Book 2: Ghost).
The Night Agent garnered significant attention during its premiere week, ranking as the third most-viewed debut series within its initial four days. Netflix swiftly greenlit a second season on March 29 of the preceding year, a mere six days following its March 23 premiere.
Within weeks of its release, the show accumulated over 515 million hours of viewing, propelling it to the ninth spot on Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched English language shows ever. Remarkably, within a week thereafter, it solidified its position as the platform’s sixth most-watched English language series to date.
All ten episodes of The Night Agent are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
