Here's everything we know about The Night Agent season 2 so far.
The Night Agent season 2 release date
Netflix has confirmed that The Night Agent season 2 will land on Thursday, January 23.
In true Netflix fashion, all episodes will land at once, although the streamer hasn't said how many that'll be.
It's likely that The Night Agent season 3 will follow 18 months to a year afterwards, judging by the gap between the first two seasons.
The Night Agent season 2 trailer
While there's no full trailer available for The Night Agent season 2, Netflix has released a teaser trailer which gives us a half-minute of action.
You can see it below:
While light on details, the teaser gives us an idea of the tone of season 2, with hints towards the story too.
The Night Agent season 2 plot
Considering season 1 of The Night Agent was based on a singular novel, right now we don't know what the new plot could consist of. But series creator Shawn Ryan is keen to give fans more.
The first season wrapped up the mystery in a very solid ending, which gives the creators and writers room to develop another story entirely.
In an interview with Collider, he said: "I always knew that I wanted each season to be a mostly standalone story. In this case, the center of gravity was Washington D.C and the White House, and it had this host of characters, but for the most part, we answered most questions and we’ve settled what happened in that. Hopefully, that’s a really satisfying journey for the audience."
We do have some clues as to where The Night Agent season 2 is heading. The main character joining Peter Sutherland is called Katherine (played by Amanda Warren) and we presume they join forces. Catherine (via Tudum) is described as a veteran of the top secret Night Action investigative program who trains and oversees various Night Agents, including new recruit Peter. She's smart and funny but after what happened to him before Peter is not surprisingly wary of her. Who can he really trust?
The Night Agent season 2 cast
According to Variety, we know that Marwan Kenzari, Elise Kibler and Dikran Tulaine are joining, with both season 1 leads Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan reprising their roles in the series.
Additional previously cast members include Amanda Warren, Arienne Mandi, Louis Herthum, Berto Colon, Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, Navid Negahban and Rob Heaps.
We also have some character descriptions for the newcomers. Marwan Kenzari plays Reza, "a decorated soldier, court marshalled for another man’s crime, Reza was given the opportunity to be a night agent. Fiercely intelligent, with a wry sense of humor and a trigger temper, he doesn’t hesitate to become violent or lethal when backed into a corner.”
Meanwhile, Elise Kibler is Sloane, "a glamorous British socialite, smart, savvy, glib; Sloane is the girlfriend of the wealthy Tomás Bala. Sloane knows how toxic Tomás’ family is and tries to convince him to break ties."
Finally, Dikran Tulaine plays Viktor, "a smart, dangerous and manipulative man, Viktor was once the leader of his country, but has since been convicted of war crimes."
