Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent follows Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office. The series debuted at No. 1 on the English TV list with 168.71 million hours viewed in its first week of release, appearing in the Top 10 in 93 countries.

Netflix ha renovado la serie El agente nocturno (The Night Agent) por una tercera temporada antes del estreno de la segunda en invierno de 2025. Además, ha publicado el primer vistazo a la nueva temporada.

Basada en la novela de Matthew Quirk, El agente nocturno sigue a Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), un agente de bajo nivel del FBI que trabaja en el sótano de la Casa Blanca atendiendo un teléfono que nunca suena, hasta la noche en que lo hace, y todo se convierte en una conspiración rápida y peligrosa que finalmente le conduce hasta el Despacho Oval.

It’s a good news/better news situation regarding Netflix’s hit series The Night Agent.

We have renewal news and a premiere date for the sophomore season!

As fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of a highly anticipated sophomore season, a series of events delayed the premiere date.

The dual strikes were a primary issue that stalled the series from returning after its debut in March 2023.

The Night Agent Season 2 Moved from Fall to Winter 2025

Initially, The Night Agent Season 2 was set to debut in 2024.

The Night Agent was supposed to return in 2024 along with Bridgerton, The Diplomat, Cobra Kai, and, of course, Emily in Paris.

Noch in diesem Jahr soll in Istanbul mit dem Beginn der Dreharbeiten zur dritten Staffel der Netflixserie „The Night Agent“ begonnen werden, die dann im kommenden Jahr in New York fortgesetzt werden. Das berichten US-Branchenmedien.

In „The Night Agent“, deren erste Staffel seit März 2023 bei Netflix zu sehen ist und nach Angaben des Streamers dessen meist gesehene Serie des Jahres war, spielt Gabriel Basso den FBI-Agenten Peter Sutherland, der zunächst zum Helden wird, als er einen Bombenanschlag in einer U-Bahn verhindern kann. Später wird er aber degradiert, weil es Gerüchte gibt, er selbst habe hinter dem Anschlag gesteckt. Unterstützung erhält er von seiner Stabschefin, die ihn für die nächtlichen...

The good news for fans of “The Night Agent,” Netflix’s conspiracy thriller that’s one of its most popular series of all time, is that it’s snagged an early Season 3 renewal months ahead of its Season 2 premiere, Netflix announced Tuesday, along with some first look photos of Season 3. The bad news is that the premiere has been pushed to 2025. On balance, more positive than negative, we’d say.

Season 2 was originally slated to premiere in 2024, but has been pushed to winter 2025. This will mean Season 2 premieres close to two years after Season 1 premiered in March 2023. But the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 is likely to be smaller, as work on Season 3 is already underway. Filming on the 10-episode third season is scheduled to start later this year in Istanbul and move to its home base in New York in 2025.

“The Night Agent” is based on a novel by Matthew Quirk.

We come bearing disappointing news fellow The Night Agent fans. Back in September, there was a rumor going on that The Night Agent season 2 may come out in November 2024. And the expected release date was supposed to be this year, with us waiting to get a confirmed release date from Netflix. Well, we have an exact release window now, but it's longer than we expected it to be.

The Night Agent season 2 premieres Winter 2025 on Netflix, per a press release. The first season dropped on the streamer on March 23, 2023. So by the time the show action thriller returns, it will have been almost two years since new episodes will have been released.

That is if the streamer is planning to release the new season in January, February, or even March of 2025. That's way too long, even though we have gotten used to waiting two years between seasons when it comes to many Netflix shows.

The Night Agent fans have two reasons to celebrate. Netflix not only released the first official photos from the upcoming second season, the streamer announced the popular spy drama has been renewed for a third season.

Season two is targeting a winter 2025 premiere. Filming’s expected to begin on season three in Istanbul later this year. Production on the just-announced 10-episode third season will move to New York early next year.

The first season earned Netflix’s most-watched series of 2023 title and raked in more than 98 million views in its first 91 days. It currently stands as the streamer’s seventh most-watched English series.

“Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent, Peter Sutherland, whose efforts to save The President in season...

From Sony Pictures Television, The Night Agent Season 2 will debut on Netflix in Winter 2025. A 10-episode third season has also received the green light and will begin production in Istanbul at the end of 2024 before returning to film in New York in 2025.

The Night Agent was the most-watched series in 2023 (by views) and currently ranks as the seventh most popular English series on Netflix of all time, with a staggering 98.2 million views in its first 91 days. In its first month, it was No. 1 in the Global Top 10 for four consecutive weeks and reached the #1 spot in the Top 10 for 87 countries.

Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent, Peter Sutherland, whose efforts to save the President in Season 1 earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent in Season 2.

But working in the secretive organization of Night...

A word of warning before you press play on the trailer for action thriller The Night Agent: Don’t forget to breathe. The super-tense new series follows a low-level FBI agent who works nights in the basement of the White House manning a phone line for undercover spies that never rings. But one day, it does, setting into motion a chain of events uncovering a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the Oval Office.

“Imagine All the President’s Men with car chases,” creator Shawn Ryan tells Tudum.

Press play on the trailer above to confirm just how action-packed this gripping new drama actually is, and read on to learn more about the series.

Is The Night Agent based on a book?

Netflix's most valuable FBI agent officially has his marching orders for his followup mission. On Oct. 8, Netflix made the announcement everyone has been waiting for: The Night Agent season 2 will be released in winter 2025. We still don't have an official month, but we know it will be sometime right in the beginning of the new year!

That's not the only good news Netflix shared about The Night Agent. Wasting no time at all, the streaming already renewed the hit series for season 3, which begins production in Istanbul before the end of 2024 with additional filming in New York City in 2025. The upcoming season will also have 10 episodes and could very well be released before the end of 2025.

A very important The Night Agent transmission...

Netflix has given an early Season 3 renewal to its hit actioner “The Night Agent,” in advance of the show’s second season return in Winter 2025. The series, from Sony Pictures Television, is set to begin a production unit in Istanbul at the end of the year, and then will turn its attention back to filming in New York in 2025.

The streamer announced the additional pickup while sharing first-look images for “The Night Agent” Season 2. Gabriel Basso stars in the series, which comes from creator Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) and is based on the novel by Matthew Quirk.

In Season 1, low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Basso) helped save the U.S. President’s life, earning him the chance to become a Night Agent. Per Netflix’s logline, in Season 2, “working in the secretive organization of Night Action will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.

“Night Agent” fans, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the action thriller starring Gabriel Basso has been renewed for a third season ahead of Season 2. The bad? Season 2 won’t be returning to Netflix until the winter of 2025.

The third season of the Netflix original will begin a production unit in Istanbul at the end of 2024. The series will then return to film in New York in 2025.

The streamer also shared first look photos of its upcoming second season:

It’s a case of good news-bad news for The Night Agent fans. In a vote of confidence to the Shawn Ryan action-thriller, the series starring Gabriel Basso has received a 10-episode Season 3 renewal ahead of its Season 2 debut. As for Season 2, viewers will have to wait a little longer. Originally slated for a 2024 release, Season 2 will now premiere in winter 2025. That is almost two years after Season 1 dropped on March 23, 2023, becoming an instant breakout en route to 98.2M views in its first 91 day and a spot on Netflix’s Top 10 most popular English-language series of all time.

Fans won’t have to wait that long for Season 3 — like streamers typically do with their strongest performers, Netflix clearly had commissioned a writers room to work on the new installment as filming will begin very soon with a production unit in Istanbul at the end of 2024 followed by a New York...

Netflix will keep The Night Agent on call beyond its forthcoming second season.

The streamer has renewed The Night Agent for a third season, with the pickup coming several months before season two premieres. Netflix hasn’t set a specific date for the show’s return but says it will premiere in winter 2025 (which is slightly later than Netflix co-ceo Ted Sarando said the show would debut on an earnings call earlier this year).

Production on season three is set to begin late this year in Istanbul and continue in New York after the new year.

Created by Shawn Ryan and produced by Sony Pictures Television, The Night Agent was a breakout hit for Netflix last year. The show’s first season currently ranks seventh all time among English-language series in the streamer’s internal rankings (which measure viewing for 13 weeks after a show’s premiere). It was also the...

We have good news… and better news… for fans of The Night Agent.

For starters, the Netflix adaptation is set to release Season 2 on the 2025 side of this winter, the streamer announced on Tuesday, while also releasing a flurry of first photos (seen above and below).

The Night Agentis answering the call for Season 3 early. The spy drama has been renewed ahead of Season 2’s return in 2025.

“We’re so excited that our fans will get to watch Season 2 of The Night Agent in early 2025, and we’ve been hard at work writing Season 3 to deliver more breathless Peter Sutherland Night Action adventures to our rabid audience,” creator Shawn Ryan tells Tudum.

Star Gabriel Basso — who plays the series’ titular action hero, Peter Sutherland — always knew this show could have a long road ahead of it. That’s why, when Basso filmed the final scene of Season 1, he made a very specific choice in the moment when Peter accepts his new and highly coveted status as a Night Agent.

“I remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to smile because this is scary. …’ Peter is now a cog in the machine officially.

Gina Carano gained international fame when she starred alongside Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian. The role was a perfect fit for her, and she quickly became a standout in the series. However, Disney chose to end their collaboration with Carano following a series of what she described as “accidental” discriminatory incidents—though it’s quite unlikely they were all mere accidents. This decision has since sparked a continuing controversy.

Everyone is aware of the circumstances and the reasons behind them: Gina Carano was let go because her political and ideological views clashed with Disney’s values. While there were other controversial remarks, it was primarily her outspoken anti-woke stance that led to her departure. In response, Carano has filed a lawsuit against Disney, seeking either compensation or reinstatement.

Although there are always two sides to every story, Carano’s inappropriate Holocaust comment on social media crossed a line Disney was not willing to tolerate,...

When Gina Carano costarred with Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian, she shot to international fame. The actress was given a role that suited her, and as a result, she rose to prominence in the series. However, Disney decided to terminate their collaboration with Caano after a series of discriminatory “accidents,” as Carano claims, and that led to an ongoing scandal.

Everyone knows what happened and the reason it happened. The actress was sacked because her political and ideological views did not correspond with Disney’s ideals. Although there were other controversial comments as well, her anti-woke views and attitudes were the main cause of this. Since then, Carano has filed a lawsuit against Disney in an attempt to get paid back or get hired again.

While there are always two sides to one story, the fact that Carano posted an inappropriate Holocaust comment on social media was a line that...

The Night Agent is one of Netflix’s most popular shows of all time and its coming back for a second season at the end of 2024.

Showrunner Shawn Ryan has revealed that the cast will look very different in season two as the storyline will follow a new case.

“In a Season 2, if we do one, I think it would be a whole new location with a whole new set of problems, and a small number of characters from Season 1 would be part of that, but mostly new characters would be surrounding them. And then, that would tell a one-season story,” Shawn told Collider.

There are five actors from the first season who are expected to return, five actors we know won’t be back (including a surprising one!), and now 10 actors have been announced to join the show.

Elon Musk won’t be part of a Donald Trump cabinet after all. The Republican nominee walked back his comments about considering Musk for an executive-branch role, citing Musk’s connections to X, SpaceX and Tesla and the demands they put on him.

“He wants to be involved. Now look, he’s running big businesses and all that, so he can’t, really, I don’t think he could be cabinet,” Trump said in an interview with former Navy Seal Shawn Ryan. An excerpt of this interview was published on Sunday. “I’d put him in the cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going.”

Trump then said that Musk may be able to “consult” on a cabinet, pointing to artificial intelligence as an example of a subject Musk would be well-versed to consult about.

Exclusive: After a three-season run on Prime Video’s hit series The Boys, Claudia Doumit has found her next big project in SOULM8TE, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s new film out of the M3GAN universe.

Details as to the role Doumit is playing are under wraps. She’s set to star opposite previously announced leads Lily Sullivan and David Rysdahl.

Falling in the tradition of ’90s domestic thrillers but with a modern, technological twist, the film watches as a man (Rysdahl) acquires an Artificially Intelligent android (Sullivan) to help him cope with the recent loss of his deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, the man inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.

One of the coolest and most beloved sub-genres for thriller, action, and drama fans is the spy genre and there’s a good reason. In a spy film or series, we get complicated and cool characters who put their lives on the line by going against numerous people and instead of always letting their guns talk they use more covert tactics, which are always thrilling to watch. So, Netflix being what it is, it has a large library of content and also some of the best spy shows you can find and that’s what inspired us to compile a list of the best spy shows you can watch on Netflix right now.

Following a successful stint as Cara Dune in Disney’s The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is now in the news for a different reason. The actress is suing Disney, alleging that her dismissal from the franchise was unjust.

Carano’s exit followed a series of controversial social media posts in which she compared anti-vaxxers to Jews and addressed other sensitive topics, which clashed with modern sensibilities and Disney’s image. While her departure was officially attributed to a contract non-renewal, many interpret it as a termination.

Carano has filed a lawsuit against her former employer, with the case financed by Elon Musk, a prominent advocate for free speech, particularly on his recently acquired social media platform X, where much of the controversy unfolded.

The court has recently denied Disney’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, ruling that the company failed to demonstrate that the hiring of actors was based on maintaining a positive public image.

After a successful run as Cara Dune in Disney’s ‘The Mandalorian,’ Gina Carano is making headlines for a different reason. The well-known actress is suing Disney over what she claims was an unjust dismissal from the franchise.

Carano’s departure came after a series of controversial social media posts, where she compared anti-vaxxers to Jews and addressed other sensitive issues that clashed with modern sensibilities and Disney’s image. Although officially, her contract was not renewed, many view it as a firing.

Carano sued her former employer, and the lawsuit is financed by Elon Musk, a businessman and staunch fighter for freedom of speech, especially on his recently purchased social media platform X on which the whole incident played out.

The court recently refused Disney’s notion to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that the company failed to prove that they hired the actors on the basis of promoting their good public image.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’s Mark Molloy is now the latest in a long line of filmmakers who Jerry Bruckheimer has recruited from the world of advertising.

Having written or directed at least four commercials for Apple, the humble Australian filmmaker won’t allow himself to say that he followed in the same footsteps as fellow Bruckheimer discoveries Tony Scott and Michael Bay, but in his ongoing effort to change up the status quo, the celebrated producer has frequently found new talent through commercials and music videos. In the ‘80s, Scott was one of a handful of British commercial directors who took their unconventional styles to the States, and Bruckheimer and Don Simpson’s Top Gun (1986) served as his American debut. The massive success of that film prompted the two producing partners to quickly rehire Scott for Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), a film that Molloy channeled in Netflix’s...

Exclusive: Ronald D. Moore is back at Sony Pictures Television, signing a multi-year overall deal with the independent studio. Under the pact, Moore, his Tall Ship Productions banner, and longtime collaborators Maril Davis and Ben McGinnis will develop and produce scripted series for cable and streaming platforms.

Moore left Sony in 2020 after a successful 10-year run that yielded two long-running, hit series, Outlander for Starz and For All Mankind for Apple TV+. Four years later, the dramas he developed/co-created are still going and both have become franchises, spawning upcoming spinoffs, Blood of My Blood and Star City, respectively. Moore serves as an executive producers on the mothership series and the offshoots.

Under his previous Sony TV deals, Moore also executive produced two other projects that went to series, anthology Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams for Prime Video, which he also co-developed, and Helix for Syfy.

Exclusive: Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent) and Jared Harris (Chernobyl) are in final negotiations to join Netflix’s new film from Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow, according to multiple sources.

No word on the roles they’ll be playing, but they join an ensemble that will be led by Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, as previously reported. The film’s title and plot remain under wraps, though sources have told Deadline that it will be set at the White House as a national crisis unfolds.

The project marks Bigelow’s first feature since the 2017 thriller Detroit, an awards contender produced and distributed by Annapurna Pictures, which starred John Boyega, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Dever and more. News of the film was first divulged by Netflix recently during its Upfront presentation in New York, which also saw them spotlight upcoming films including Happy Gilmore 2 and the thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 starring Keira Knightley.

The first season of The Night Agent became the sixth most popular season of English-language TV season in Netflix history, so it’s no wonder the streamer is rushing to get a second season to our screens. At the end of that first season, Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) had become a full-fledged Night Action agent, flying off to an unknown destination on a mission for the off-the-books intelligence organization. And in Season 2, Night Action life is “going to bring new problems” for Peter, The Night Agent showrunner Shawn Ryan explained to Tudum last year. “One of the reasons we like Peter so much is he’s a rule follower who has such a strict moral code that he lives by. We admire the choices he makes. [As a night agent], those choices will become difficult, the stakes will become even higher, and the danger he’s in will grow even bigger.” Scroll down for...

Exclusive: Shawn Ryan, whose thriller drama The Night Agent was the most watched TV series of 2023 on Netflix, has signed a big, four-year overall deal with the streamer, sources tell Deadline. The prolific creator, executive producer and showrunner landed at Netflix in a competitive situation, with his current studio home, Sony Pictures TV, NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. TV among those who pursued him, I hear. The pact with Netflix will start after Ryan’s current overall deal with Sony TV expires at the end of October.

With Ryan’s deal in place, I hear Netflix is proceeding with opening a Season 3 writers room for The Night Agent.

Almost every episode of The Shield begins the same way, with a quick look at what previously happened on The Shield. This was neither new nor uncommon for TV in the early 2000s, when Shawn Ryan’s gritty Los Angeles cop drama premiered on FX. If you watched ’90s network hits like ER or The X-Files, you were well-acquainted with recap sequences, those tightly edited opening montages designed to jog the audience’s memory of past plot points.

But on The Shield, such reminders were less a courtesy than a necessity. Skip the opening 60 seconds of this show and you risked feeling lost over the 40 minutes that followed, because there was a good chance they would involve something you had forgotten about, something even the characters had filed away as yesterday’s news.

Exclusive: Matt Lanter (Jupiter’s Legacy) and newcomer Sophia Esperanza have joined Prime Video’s Motorheads cast in recurring roles, Deadline has learned exclusively.

From writer-showrunner John A. Norris, Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your very first car. Set in a once-thriving rust-belt town that’s now searching for a glimmer of hope, the series is the adrenaline-filled story of a group of outsiders who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of automobiles. And while some characters will be navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school, others will be racing from a dark past.

The series also includes previously announced stars Ryan Phillippe, Nathalie Kelley, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton, Drake Rodger, Johnna Dias-Watson, Josh Macqueen and Mia Healey.

Lanter will portray Darren, a wealthy and powerful father of 17-year-old Harris (Macqueen), who, like his dad, is a serious street racer.

Everyone loves a good rags-to-riches story, and showbiz is full of such examples, with the most notable ones involving the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Demi Moore, Jim Carrey, etc. Walton Goggins, known for leaning into playing morally ambiguous characters, whose recent work involves the Fallout show, shares a similar story, as it took him a while to find his footing in Hollywood.

While Goggins eventually rose to prominence in the 2000s, he didn’t have the smoothest of starts, as during his arrival to LA at the age of 19, he only had a mere $300 under his belt.

Despite his rise being gradual, it turned out to be fruitful.

“Here at CBS, we always ‘stay liquid’ and love a good dramatic twist, especially when it leads to an eighth season of S.W.A.T.!” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The show continues to resonate with viewers thanks to our talented cast led by Shemar Moore and our amazing writers and producers who keep the show relevant and action-packed. We’re very pleased to renew it again and incredibly grateful to our partners at Sony, CBS Studios, and Shemar for working so...

Miracles do happen.

We’ve just witnessed one with the renewal of S.W.A.T, which was previously canceled by CBS.

Yes, that’s right, CBS announced today that it has renewed the hit drama series S.W.A.T. for the 2024-2025 season. The series will return for its eighth year on the Network.

Who had this on their bingo cards?

We’ve been riding for so long on the cancellation of popular shows on other networks — even after they’re renewed — that this news hits us like a shower of warm rose petals.

It’s concerning that during S.W.A.T. Season 7, many beloved characters have already said their goodbyes, so either they’ll be looking to walk that back or introduce us to a new team.

That’s a risky move for a series that had already been on the chopping block (and lost its head) once. Well, twice if you consider the original...

S.W.A.T. is not ending after all. Beating the odds a second time, the action drama has been renewed for the 2024-25 season, with Shemar Moore set to continue as star and executive producer. I hear Season 8 will consist of 22 episodes.

The news comes a year after S.W.A.T. was canceled before the decision was dramatically reversed a couple of days later with a renewal for a seventh and final season. This time, the network is not boxing itself in and is leaving the door open to more by not branding 8 as the series’ final season.

The surprise renewal, which sources said came down pretty quickly over the last couple of days, also comes as S.W.A.T is wrapping production on its seventh season. Moore hinted at the drama not necessarily ending by posting set photos on his Ig story yesterday with the caption “Season 7 finale will be [fire emoji],” not referring to the episode as series finale.

Turns out reports of “S.W.A.T’s” cancellation have been greatly exaggerated. CBS has renewed the cop drama for Season 8 despite announcing its seventh season would be its last nearly a year ago.

The latest drama marks the second time “S.W.A.T” has technically escaped cancellation, with CBS initially axing the show before announcing it would return for one last run. The original decision to cancel “S.W.A.T” came down to licensing fees. After Sony and CBS were unable to come to terms in 2023, the show was canceled, but they eventually worked out the deal for a final season with a reduced episode count.

“Here at CBS, we always ‘stay liquid’ and love a good dramatic twist, especially when it leads to an eighth season of ‘S.W.A.T.!,’” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The show continues to resonate with viewers thanks to our talented cast led by Shemar Moore...

After being canceled, then un-canceled, then producing what was billed as its final season, CBS’ Swat is getting yet another new lease on life.

The network has picked up an eighth season of crime drama starring Shemar Moore. The decision to continue the series, a co-production of Sony Pictures Television and CBS Studios, comes as a surprise: CBS has billed this season of Swat as its final one after negotiations with Sony over licensing fees and a reduced episode order. As recently as Monday, when CBS sent out its season finale dates, it was billing the May 17 episode of Swat as a “series finale.”

Now, though, the series is set to return in 2024-25, joining fellow CBS dramas Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Sydney, Tracker and all three members of the FBI franchise on next season’s roster (comedies Ghosts and The Neighborhood have also been renewed, and the second half...

CBS blinked again!

The Eye network has reversed course, renewing S.W.A.T. for Season 8 midway through what was previously intended as a 13-episode farewell run. Of note, CBS’ press release does not tout the unexpected eighth season as a “final” one.

Netflix’s popular thriller series “The Night Agent” has revealed the actors rounding out its Season 2 guest cast.

Marwan Kenzari, Elise Kibler and Dikran Tulaine join returning series leads Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan. Additional previously announced cast members include Amanda Warren, Arienne Mandi, Louis Herthum, Berto Colon, Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, Navid Negahban and Rob Heaps.

The official description for the series reads, “Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, ‘The Night Agent’ is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.”

In Season 2, Kenzari plays Reza, whose character description reads, “A decorated soldier, court marshalled for another man’s crime, Reza...

Exclusive: Netflix’s hit conspiracy thriller The Night Agent has added three for guest roles in Season 2: Marwan Kenzari (Black Adam), Elise Kibler (The Sunlit Night), and Dikran Tulaine (The Blacklist).

Kenzari plays Reza, a decorated soldier court marshalled for another man’s crime, who’s been 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.

Kibler’s character is Sloane, a glamorous British socialite. Smart, savvy, and glib, Sloane is the girlfriend of the wealthy Tomás Bala (Rob Heaps). She knows how toxic Tomás’s family is and tries to convince him to break ties…

Tulaine portrays Viktor, a smart, dangerous and manipulative man who was once the leader of his country, but has since been convicted of war crimes.

Pay deals in the U.S. and the streamer reset’s impact on international TV development were among the topics at the opening panel of the Berlinale Series Market this morning in Europe.

During the panel at the EFM event, Gersh partner Roy Ashton described that while production costs have gone up significantly over recent years, writer pay had not kept up with the inflation. He suggested indie producers, writers and agents should collaborate more to ensure packages lead to better financial deals when they approach streamers or studios.

Ashton noted that the model behind Netflix’s hit action series The Night Agent, which has been viewed tens of millions of times on the service, meant its writing team did not receive more than originals shows launched at the same time that performed far worse. Creator Shawn Ryan last year gave an interview in which he said anyone assuming he...

Netflix and Sony Pictures Television’s hit series “The Night Agent” has filled out its cast for Season 2 with Michael Malarkey (“The Vampire Diaries”) and Keon Alexander (“The Expanse”) as series regulars and Navid Negahban (“Homeland”) and Rob Heaps (“Station 11”) as recurring guest stars, opposite returning stars Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan.

Based on the best selling novel by Matthew Quirk, the first season of the show followed Peter Sutherland (Basso), an FBI agent recruited to monitor a rarely used phone in the basement of the White House for the mysterious Night Agent program. When cybersecurity expert Rose Larkin (Buchanan) calls the number one night, they’re both pulled into a twisty conspiracy that reaches to the top echelons of the U.S. government.

Season 2 will follow Sutherland as he begins his career as a full-time Night Agent, while maintaining a relationship with Larkin.

Malarkey — who followed his role as Lorenzo “Enzo” St.

We may know where Peter was headed when he jetted off in the Season 1 finale of The Night Agent.

Filming has begun on the second season of Netflix’s hit thriller drama, with the streamer’s start-of-production announcement unveiling that shooting of the new season will take place primarily in New York City with additional filming in Thailand and Washington D.C.

Season 1 of The Night Agent was set in and around Washington D.C. and filmed in Vancouver.

Given that we last saw Peter (Basso) taking off from D.C. in a private jet on his first mission as a Night Action spy, it is safe to assume that he is going to Thailand or a nearby country. That would answer one of the finale’s biggest questions.

Other major questions The Night Agent showrunner Shawn Ryan expected the show to address in Season 2 back in March include, What does it mean that Peter would be a night agent? Now that Rose is going back to California to try to restart her tech career, where does that leave Peter and Rose?

Season 2 also is moving the center of the action from the nation’s capital to the Big Apple as the series is rewarded for its big success in Season 1 — which ranks as the sixth most popular season of an English-language series on Netflix — with more expensive filming locations.

Basso and Luciane Buchanan return alongside previously announced new cast members Amanda Warren, Arienne Mandi, Louis Herthum, Berto Colon, Brittany Snow and Teddy Sears.

The Night Agent is on a very tight schedule as Netflix announced last week that Season 2 will premiere in 2024. Getting a 10-episode season of an elaborate action drama series ready before end of the year will be a major feat, especially given the fact that series on a global streamer like Netflix take longer to release because they also have to undergo dubbing/subtitling for the various territories.

The Night Agent is a character-based, action-thriller whose first season centered on a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads to the Oval Office.

The series is created, showrun and executive produced by Shawn Ryan through his MiddKid Productions banner. David Beaubaire, Seth Gordon, Julia Gunn, Marney Hochman, Paul Neinstein, William Sherak, Nicole Tossou, James Vanderbilt, Paul Bernard and Munis Rashid also executive produce. The Night Agent is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
