Netflix‘s users made The Night Agent their most-watched series of 2023. Gabriel Basso stars in the series as Peter Sutherland, which shows political conspiracies to viewers worldwide and ranks number one on Netflix’s Top 10 lists across 87 countries.
After the premiere of Season 2 in January 2025, fans are also excited about the early decision to make Season 3. The series adapted from Matthew Quirk’s novel remains popular with subscribers, as it ended up being number 7 in Netflix’s all-time most-watched English series. Viewers continue to hang on every word from creator Shawn Ryan as Season 3 promises more action.
Cast and creative team of The Night Agent Season 3
Season 3 of The Night Agent welcomes new actors to join its accomplished cast. Gabriel Basso will continue as Peter Sutherland. Season 3 welcomes David Lyons, Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, Genesis Rodriguez, and Callum Vinson to join its permanent cast roster. Among new talent, the show welcomes Suraj Sharma to its cast in a recurring role.
The core creative team delivers remarkable work throughout the series production process. As MiddKid Productions’ head, Shawn Ryan remains involved by leading production as executive producer and showrunner. The list of executive producers also includes Marney Hochman from MiddKid Productions, along with Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn from Exhibit A.
James Vanderbilt joins Paul Neinstein, William Sherak, and Nicole Tossou from Project X. Finally, Munis Rashid, Paul Bernard, Guy Ferland, and Seth Fisher complete the production team.
Thanks to the creation of deep characters and complex storylines, the show has become what it is today. The depth and tension-packed narrative during Season 2 will be redefined by the addition of Amanda Warren as Catherine Weaver, along with the other relationships among the characters.
The ensemble of actors is one of the greatest assets of the show. As more cast members add up during Season 3, the characters will enrich the show’s massive universe and place some new challenges before Peter Sutherland.
Production timeline and potential release window of The Night Agent season 3
Filming of Season 3 of The Night Agent began in Istanbul, with the team scheduled to return to New York for filming in 2025. The beginning of production on Season 3 happened way ahead of the premiere of Season 2, indicating Netflix’s confidence and perhaps an attempt on their part to move things along for the series to bring it to some further endpoints.
Looking at the way the show has been produced so far, a release date for Season 3 looks possible during late 2025 or early 2026. However, there could be other unseen factors, such as the programming schedule combined with the post-production requirements, that might impact the exact release date.
The production team chose Istanbul as a filming location to potentially show the audiences that The Night Agent now reaches an international audience. An Istanbul setting will introduce exciting layout styles, new plotlines, and a more international scope for Season 3.
What might happen in The Night Agent Season 3?
Shawn Ryan says Season 2 will start building the plot for Season 3. Each new season creates a standalone narrative, though Season 2’s plot elements will continue into Season 3. Gabriel Basso reveals in recent interviews that Peter Sutherland’s actions in Season 2 will produce major plot developments for his character in Season 3.
In Season 2, Sutherland, as a night agent, looks into a CIA security issue and a potential terror threat in New York City. Moreover, the showrunner plans to include important moments from the presidential election season, and Season 3 will evolve based on its ripple effects. Speaking to TV Line, Ryan said,
Each season is a different story for us, a different world, but there will be some loose ends in Season 2 that we intend to pick up in Season 3. But we always try to tell a really satisfying story each season and not leave the audience frustrated waiting a year for a lot of answers. Most of Season 2’s questions get answered by the end of our 10 episodes and these 10 episodes tell a complete (and we hope) thrilling story.
In Season 1, Rose Larkin, played by Luciane Buchanan, gets some sort of closure, but in Season 2, her story takes a different path. Amanda Warren’s character Catherine Weaver will also be important during Season 3, as Warren said in her TV line interview that she is “going to get what she needs, and following her in that pursuit is really exciting.”
In addition to this, her actions will further lead to what is coming next in the show. During his interview with TV Line, Gabriel Basso hints at additional tension for Sutherland in Season 3.
It carries and snowballs. Every decision Peter makes in Season 2 will have an effect for Season 3. Having been shooting it now, I can tell you that he is in a tight spot.
It, therefore, seems that his choices in Season 2 will have repercussions that might lead to new ideas for Season 3. As production has already started, The Night Agent Season 3 seems promising to hold on to its reputation as one of the most-watched series on Netflix.
