The Night Agent Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix, Just 6 Days After Release

The Night Agent should expect another call, now that Netflix has renewed the highly bingeable thriller for a second, 10-episode season.

The news comes not one week after Season 1 hit the streaming giant on March 23.

Based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent follows Peter Sutherland (played by Gabriel Basso), a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does. That urgent call, from Luciane Buchanan’s Rose Larkin, propels Peter into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.

The Season 1 cast also includes Hong Chau (as the White House chief of staff), Sarah Desjardins (as the VP’s daughter), Eve Harlow and Phoenix Raei (as assassins/lovebirds), Enrique Murciano (as a Secret Service bigwig), and Fola Evans-Akingbola and DB Woodside (as the Second Daughter’s Secret Service detail).

Of note, author Matthew Quirk has no second novel featuring FBI Agent Sutherland.

We couldn’t be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on Season 2 to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans.”

Shawn Ryan has created a spy thriller sensation that viewers cannot get enough of, with a stellar cast featuring Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan and Hong Chau, and we’re here to bring them more of the action and suspense they love.”
