The Night Agent season 2 is the second season of the action thriller series, that debuted its first season on Netflix on March 23, 2023. It was created by Shawn Ryan and is based on Matthew Quirk's 2019 novel of the same name. It is produced by James Dodson and Nick Bradley, and executive produced by Marney Hochman, William Sherak, Nicole Tossou, and Paul Neinstein, among others.
The show's first season follows the low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) as he foils a murderous plot to kill the President of the United States. During his mission, he meets the murder witness— Rose— who leads him to uncover rogue assassins and secret spies working at the highest levels of government.
In October 2024, Netflix teased fans with the plot for the show's second season. Spanning 10 episodes, it will feature a host of new characters and is scheduled to release in the winter of 2025:
"The new season picks up after the thrilling events of Season 1, when Peter Sutherland’s efforts to save the president earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent. Working in the secretive organization of Night Action in Season 2 will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply."
What to expect from The Night Agent season 2?
The first season of The Night Agent became the most-watched series of 2023, and raked in 98.2 million views in its first 91 days. It was renewed for a second season on March 29, 2023, within a week of the show's premiere on Netflix. Netflix also renewed the series for a third season in October 2024.
In March 2023, showrunner Shawn Ryan told Collider that season 2 would include "a small number of characters from season 1" and that "new characters would be surrounding them." A month later, he told Comicbook that the new season would showcase "a whole brand-new story" and "not take place in the DC area."
The Night Agent season 2 was filmed between February and June 2024. It was initially scheduled to air in 2024 but was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes. The show's second season is now slated for release in the winter of 2025 and, like season 1, will feature 10 episodes.
