The Night Agent Season 2: Release Date When Will We See Season 2 on Netflix?
The Night Agent was one of not only the most popular but also the most well-made Netflix series of 2023. A true gem of the thriller genre – or rather spy thriller to be precise, The Night Agent brought back all the beauty of the spy series by creating a story so captivating that it reminded us of the great examples of this genre from the past such as Alias by JJ Abrams. But let’s go back to the present and try to answer the question of all questions: “When will we see The Night Agent Season 2 again on Netflix?”.
Meanwhile, we know that this series, based on the novel of the same name Matthew Quirk, was renewed after just one week of its debut on Netflix and, specifically, on March 29, 2023. What pushed the streaming giant to focus again on this thriller was its enormous success with the public: The Night Agent is officially one of the most-watched Netflix series ever, a decidedly noteworthy result. But from March 2023 to today, what do we know about The Night Agent Season 2? When will we see the character of Peter Sutherland played by Garbiel Basso again on Netflix? And what awaits us after that open season finale? Let’s find out together.
The Night Agent: How The First Season Ended and What To Expect From Chapter 2
Just a month after the reconfirmation of The Night Agent for chapter number 2, Gabriel Basso, the great protagonist of the series, gave an interview on EW where he revealed some small details about the new season and the implications of his character Peter Sutherland. But let’s take a small step back to remind ourselves how the series ended. Peter and Rose manage to foil the attempt on the life of the President of the United States and Peter, thanks to this coup, makes a nice career advancement going from telephone operator to night agent. Furthermore, at the end of the first season, Peter discovers the truth about his father, and that is that, unfortunately, he was one of the villains and not the hero who always believed him to be him. And the relationship with Rose? Now she is her girlfriend and will go to California to reopen her company while waiting for Peter to return from his next secret mission.
But let’s go back to The Night Agent Season 2. When asked how the truth about his father, discovered by Peter in the finale of The Night Agent, might influence his Peter storyline in chapter two of the series, Basso specified that he would like to see Peter face the people who killed his father by depriving him of the possibility of justice and seeking some type of revenge.
“Tying the concept of revenge to what he knows he has to do could be nice,” Basso admitted. “You’ll see a lot more internal turbulence on Peter’s part.” And then there is the relationship with Rose which will undoubtedly be full of joys but also changes and difficulties.
“Would Peter involve Rose in this new and risky life as a night agent or would he keep her out so as not to put her at risk? Selfishly, I’m sure he would want her around him, but it would be dangerous. You have to think a lot about what it means to have that job and be that person capable of abandoning everything and leaving. You can’t have things, like family, that most people would like to have”, Gabriel finally added.
The Night Agent Season 2, Where Are We At?
But where are we with the filming of The Night Agent Season 2? It was April 2023 when Shawn Ryan stated that on April 11, he had called the studios to discuss season 2 of The Night Agent.
“The renewal so quickly took me by surprise – Ryan declared to TvLine -. I wanted to take at least a week to think about it. Then the first call about production came, deciding where we would shoot and what the story project would be.”
Afterward, however, with the actors’ and screenwriters’ strike, the project, like most American series, came to a halt. But today, with the strike over, work on The Night Agent Season 2 can finally start again and we expect filming to begin between January and February 2024.
