First Images from "The Night Agent" Season 2
A third season is also in production
One of the most successful Netflix series of all time is making a comeback: "The Night Agent" has been watched over 98 million times on the streaming service. So it's hardly surprising that a second season is coming. Here are the first pictures!
Here we see the main character Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, on the streets of an Asian city. This indicates that the action of the second season of "The Night Agent" will apparently take place in different locations, as the second picture appears to show him still in the United States. In addition to the return of Gabriel Basso as Peter and Luciane Buchanan as Rose, there will also be a permanent role for Amanda Warren.
The delay of season 2 is the result of several factors: After the huge success of its predecessor, at first no new writers' room was opened. When the series was officially renewed on March 29, 2023, the Writers Guild of America called a strike, bringing production to a five-month standstill.
But now everything seems to be back on track. As Deadline reports, we can even expect a third season, which is set to be filmed in Istanbul at the end of 2024. Netflix therefore seems to continue to have great faith in the thriller series.
