The Night Agent Renewed for Season 3 on Netflix

Netflix's The Night Agent returns for a third season

Netflix has renewed its hit political thriller The Night Agent for a third season. The new season will continue the story of FBI agent Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, as he navigates a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government.

The renewal comes after the show's second season spent multiple weeks in Netflix's global Top 10. The streamer confirmed the news on July 10th, 2024.

Season 3's central conspiracy is confirmed

The plot will directly follow the cliffhanger from the Season 2 finale. The new season confirms that President Richard Hagan, played by Ward Horton, is compromised.

He is secretly under the control of Jacob Monroe, a powerful and shady intelligence broker portrayed by Louis Herthum. This sets the stage for a conflict where the Oval Office itself is a source of corruption.

The new threat involves finance and terror

Season 3 escalates the stakes by weaving together high finance, terrorism, and political corruption. Peter Sutherland and his allies must uncover a plot where these elements intersect, threatening national security from within.

The story explores how money laundering and dark finance can fuel global instability, with the conspiracy now having a direct line to the President. This creates Peter's most dangerous mission yet.

Key characters and returning faces

The core cast from the previous seasons is set to return. This includes Luciane Buchanan as former White House staffer Rose Larkin, who has become Peter's most trusted partner.

They will be joined by other series regulars as they confront the entrenched conspiracy. The main returning cast includes:

• Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland
• Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin
• Ward Horton as President Richard Hagan
• Louis Herthum as Jacob Monroe

What to expect from the new episodes

Showrunner Shawn Ryan, who created the series based on Matthew Quirk's novel, will return to helm the new season. The production is expected to maintain the show's signature pace of high-stakes action and intricate plotting.

With the villain now occupying the White House, Peter and Rose will operate from the shadows as fugitives. Their goal will be to expose the truth without the resources of the legitimate government, which has been co-opted by their enemy.

The season will delve deeper into the clandestine world of intelligence brokers and private military contractors, showing how they can manipulate global events and corrupt democratic institutions.
