Gabriel Basso trains for intense role in The Night Agent season 2

The night agent

The Night Agent season 2 behind the scenes images show Gabriel Basso training for his next mission. Created by Shawn Ryan, the Netflix series follows Peter Sutherland (Basso), an FBI agent working in the White House who becomes entangled in a government conspiracy. Along with Basso, the cast of The Night Agent includes Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears and more. The show has generated impressive viewership, but despite season 2's confirmation, a premiere date hasn't been announced. In a recent Instagram post, Basso shared a carousel of photos taken by Miranda McDonald that feature training for The Night Agent season 2.

The behind the scenes images provide a glimpse at Basso’s preparation for the role of Peter, showing the actor surveying rooms and corridors while holding a firearm. The Night Agent season 2 will likely explore the relationship between Peter and Rose Larkin (Buchanan), who were last seen parting ways. Aside from their characters, it was revealed that upcoming episodes will feature a new cast, suggesting a change in the story. The first installment contained several action sequences involving shoot-outs and car chases, so it’s worth wondering how amplified those kinds of scenes will be in The Night Agent season 2. Given the photos, audiences can expect Peter to be back on the ground, at the center of it all.

At the end of The Night Agent season 1, Basso's character learned about his father, who considered working as a double agent and ultimately died from opposing forces. It changed his perception of the matter and left him wanting to know who was responsible. President Travers (Kari Matchett) then made Peter a Night Agent, and he set off on his first mission. Although not much is known about The Night Agent season 2, his change in position and new settings indicate that he may be on the move more often.

The Night Agent is a Netflix original series based on the novel by Matthew Quirk. The show centers on a young entry-level FBI agent named Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) who handles a hotline in the basement of the White House that never rings. When the phone finally does, Peter finds himself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy that climbs all the way to the top.

It will be interesting to see how Basso's training comes into play for The Night Agent season 2. Considering how well season 1 performed on Netflix, there is plenty of anticipation surrounding what lies ahead for Peter and how he fares moving forward. Based on the new behind the scenes photos, it seems likely that things are only going to get more intense for Peter from here on out.
