If you’ve already binge-watched Season 2 of The Night Agent on Netflix, you’re probably already counting the days until the next chapter. And here’s the good news: Season 3 is officially on the way, and it might even arrive sooner than you think!
A Quick Recap: Season 2 Leaves Us Wanting More
After nearly two years, The Night Agent made a dramatic return to Netflix, and fans quickly responded by putting the second season at the top of the weekly charts. In this season, Peter (played by Gabriel Basso) dives deep into danger to rescue Rose (Luciane Buchanan), even going so far as to clash with the Night Action. But a surprise alliance with Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum) eventually uncovers more about the shadowy figure pulling the strings.
By the season finale, Peter is freed from his makeshift prison and given a high-stakes mission: to infiltrate Monroe’s organization and stop him from manipulating the upcoming presidential election. And this intriguing plotline will be at the heart of Season 3, which Netflix confirmed before even launching Season 2.
What We Know About Season 3
The good news keeps coming: Season 3 is already in the works. The show’s quick renewal was a strategic move to avoid long breaks between seasons, so fans don’t have to wait years for the next installment. Filming for the third season began in October 2023, with plans to resume in February 2024, suggesting a rapid production schedule.
Gabriel Basso, who plays Peter, is just as excited about the next season. In a recent interview, he shared, “This is my favorite season so far. I think it should arrive this year. But don’t take my word for it, because it’s not up to me!” His comment hints that Netflix is pushing hard to get the season ready sooner rather than later. While some sources speculate that we may not see Season 3 until early 2026, Basso’s words leave us hopeful that we might get the new episodes by the end of 2024.
The Political Thriller Continues: What’s Next?
If Season 2 was a bit of a reboot, Season 3 will return to its roots: American politics and the high-stakes world of espionage. This is a sweet spot for showrunner Shawn Ryan, who’s known for his mastery of political thrillers. The third season will be partially filmed in Istanbul and New York, promising a blend of international intrigue and the tension-filled political drama fans love.
While nothing is confirmed yet, it’s safe to assume that Amanda Weaver (played by Fola Evans-Akingbola) will return as Peter’s manager, Catherine. However, Rose might not be making a comeback. The character expressed a desire to return to a more normal life, and it seems like the writers may have written her out to avoid stretching the plot too thin. After all, it’s tough to fit a civilian back into the dangerous world of espionage without it feeling forced.
New Allies, New Challenges
As Peter faces his biggest challenges yet, he will likely have new allies to help him. Netflix has already announced several new cast members, including David Lyons (Revolution), Jennifer Morrison (House), Stephen Moyer (True Blood), Genesis Rodriguez (Umbrella Academy), and Suraj Sharma. However, the roles they’ll play remain a mystery for now.
The third season is expected to be heavily influenced by the American presidential election, with predictions pointing to a Republican isolationist candidate. With this timely political backdrop, the show will likely dive into themes of power, corruption, and the high price of political manipulation.
Fans of The Night Agent will definitely have a lot to look forward to in Season 3, with action-packed plotlines and thrilling political drama that will keep them on the edge of their seats. So, get ready: if the stars align, we could be in for another explosive season much sooner than expected.
