Will There Be a Season 3 of“ The Night Agent”? What We Know (So Far) About the Netflix Spy Thriller’s Next Chapter

Warning: The Night Agent season 2 spoilers ahead!

Peter Sutherland isn’t done sussing out government moles and preventing deadly attacks — because The Night Agent has officially been renewed for a third season.

Netflix’s hit spy drama premiered in 2023, starring Gabriel Basso as an FBI agent tasked with finding political leaks and keeping dangerous secrets out of the wrong hands. Its twists, turns and over-the-top fight scenes made the series an instant hit. The second season was released on Jan. 23, with big names like Brittany Snow joining the cast.

On the same day of the season 2 premiere, the streamer announced that the show had gotten the green light for season 3.

“I can honestly say I'm blown away by the level of interest that everyone has shown in the show,” Basso captioned a photo on Instagram announcing The Night Agent’s renewal. “Everyone I've spoken to seems to genuinely care about what happens to Peter and what happens in Season 2. It’s beyond cool to me that all around the world, people care.”

Ready for more government conspiracies to unravel? Here’s everything to know about The Night Agent season 3.

How did The Night Agent season 2 end?

In the final episode of season 2, Peter, Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) and Catherine Weaver (Amanda Warren) are able to stop the KX attack on the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

Afterward, Peter tells Rose about the deal he made with billionaire Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum) to find her — and asks her not to come searching for him again so long as he's a Night Agent. She agrees.

Peter then surrenders to Catherine, who demands his explanation for going AWOL.

What will The Night Agent season 3 be about?

Following season 2's dramatic ending, which unveiled part of a plot to steal the presidency, Basso agrees to be Catherine's mole. He wants to make up for stealing documents from the United Nations in a deal with Monroe, before he knew of the billionaire's true intentions.

“I think he’s just going to be pulled in different directions and hopefully not torn in half,” Basso told Tudum of season 3's plot.

The Night Agent creator Shawn Ryan added, “Peter falls in the middle of an awkward and uncomfortable place — he’s between two very powerful people that may be up to no good. That will be an interesting question in Season 3: Who’s really in control of that relationship — President Hagan or Jacob Monroe?” 

Who is returning in The Night Agent season 3 cast?

Other than Basso returning to the series as its leading action hero, no other characters from seasons 1 or 2 of The Night Agent have been confirmed for the season 3 cast list. That includes tech entrepreneur (and Peter’s love interest) Rose.

Basso told Extra TV in 2025 that their characters “didn't really even have time to get to know each other” in season 1 and are just starting to find their footing in season 2. Though nothing is official, that does hint that there’s still room for Peter and Rose's relationship to grow in future storylines.

Which new cast members are joining The Night Agent season 3?

Netflix confirmed a few new series regulars for season 3: Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, David Lyons, Genesis Rodriguez and Callum Vinson. Morrison, best known for her roles in This Is Us, House and Once Upon A Time, shared the news on Instagram in December 2024.

She captioned a screenshot of the announcement, “Everyone I love loves this show. I am so excited to join season 3.”

Also joining The Night Agent cast in a recurring role is Life of Pi star Suraj Sharma.

When did filming for The Night Agent season 3 start?

As of January 2025, The Night Agent has started production for season 3 in Istanbul. The show will continue to film in New York later this year. Prior to the series renewal announcement, Basso told CinemaBlend that he’d love to step back from filming in big cities like New York and Bangkok and see Peter fight bad guys in locations not commonly seen on the small screen.

“I think Nepal would be pretty cool, like filming in the mountains in Nepal,” the actor said in January 2025. “I've not seen it on screen a lot, but that's probably for a reason because — probably a logistical nightmare to film there.”

Basso continued, “I think it also might be pretty cool to see a Midwest town, because everyone's always in big international cities. I think it'd be cool to see, like, St. Louis or some city that people wouldn't think that this kind of stuff happens there and then it does.”

What has Gabriel Basso said about returning to The Night Agent?

In a 2023 interview with Tudum, the Hillbilly Elegy actor said that he knew the series had multi-season potential. That thought led Basso to make an artistic choice in how he played the final season 1 scene when Peter accepted his new role as a Night Agent.

“I remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to smile because this is scary’ ... Peter is now a cog in the machine officially. [He doesn’t] get to say, ‘This isn’t for me,’ ” Basso said. “That whole thing sort of makes me nervous. But it also [creates] a lot of storytelling opportunities for potential seasons down the line.”

When will The Night Agent season 3 be released?

Netflix has not announced a premiere date for the third season of The Night Agent.

Where can I watch The Night Agent?
