After a thrilling first season, fans of “The Night Agent” are eagerly awaiting news about its return. The show, which quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched series, has left viewers on the edge of their seats, eager for more of FBI agent Peter Sutherland’s adventures.
The Night Agent’s Meteoric Rise
The political drama, reminiscent of classics like “24”, follows FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he uncovers conspiracies within the government, faces off against rogue assassins, and protects a key murder witness named Rose. The dynamic between Peter and Rose is central to the story, with both characters navigating a world of danger and intrigue.
“He almost became a Navy SEAL until he tore his labrum,” Ryan shared, adding humorously, “I told him as a joke, ‘Peter isn’t as cool as you are in real life.’”

While there was initial uncertainty about the renewal of the show for a second season, the good news arrived swiftly. Just days after the release of the first season, Netflix confirmed that “The Night Agent” would be returning for a second season, consisting of 10 gripping episodes.
“The last week has been a whirlwind because we’ve finally been able to share The Night Agent with the world.”
