A Recap of The Night Agent Season 1
The first season, created by Shawn Ryan, premiered in March 2023 and became a breakout hit, securing a spot on Netflix’s Top 10 Most Popular English Language Series. The story followed Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, as he worked to save the U.S. President's life, which ultimately earned him the chance to become a Night Agent. The season concluded with Peter flying out of Washington, D.C., on his first mission as a Night Action spy.
Season 2 is expected to pick up from where Peter left off, exploring his journey as a secret agent. According to Netflix, Peter’s work in the covert Night Action organization will lead him into a world filled with danger and where trust is hard to find. The first season was based on Matthew Quirk’s 2019 book, but it's uncertain whether future seasons will continue to follow the same source material.
When discussing the show’s direction, Ryan mentioned that although he initially pitched the series as an ongoing show, each season will stand alone with its own self-contained story. He added that future seasons would feature only a few recurring characters, rather than maintaining a large cast across multiple seasons. Ryan also explained that each season would take place in a different world with unique circumstances.
