The third season of Netflix's "The Night Agent" is running successfully after it premiered this weekend. Actor Gabriel Basso returns as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, to tackle a new mission. It is based on the book of the same name by Matthew Quirk, with Shawn Ryan involved as creator, showrunner, and executive producer.
Ryan has teased the possibility of a Season 4, in a recent interview with Deadline. He also knows which characters he is going to bring back. Here's what he said: “The answer is yes, but I don’t want to share any of that yet because it could always change. One thing we’ve discovered in the first three seasons of making this show, it’s a very serialized show, a lot of pieces that hold together. One thing we’ve realized is that we do our best work when we get through the season and then allow ourselves time to go back and to change things in the earlier episodes. Just because we finished writing in episode three doesn’t mean that that’s locked forever in crystal. We go back and we change a lot of things because we discover things along the way. So I have an idea of which characters would return, but certainly, until there’s actually an official pickup, there’s no reason to go into it. And I want to get further into the creative of the season to make sure that what we start with is what we want to finish with.”
Season 3 co-stars include Louis Herthum as intelligence broker, Jacob Monroe, aside from returning cast member Amanda Warren, who plays Peter’s handler, Catherine Weaver. Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ward Horton, and Albert Jones have been confirmed as series regulars alongside other Season 3 cast members David Lyons, Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, Genesis Rodriguez, and Callum Vinson. Appearing in a recurring role is Suraj Sharma ("Life of Pi").
Since the premiere of the first season on March 23, 2023, the series instantly rose to popularity, entering Top 10 streaming charts. The second season was greenlit immediately, a week after Season 1 began streaming. The third season was announced before the launch of Season 2 in January 23, 2025.
