Following the release of series two
Last updated 10th Feb 2025

What is the plot?
Whilst the first series of the show was based on Matthew Quirk's novel of the same name, there was never a second book, meaning the second series will be entirely an original story.
Writer Shawn Ryan previously expressed his idea on the storylines.
Speaking to TV Line in April 2023, he said: "So it's something that with the pickup we're now working on.
"I would say that Sutherland's first mission as a Night Agent will be the starting-off point, to sort of see what he was being sent off to do. But we have some surprises. I don't want to say too much, because until you're actually filming it, the stories can always change."
We do also know that the location has changed for series two, with Shawn adding: "Season 2 does not take place in the D.C. area, which is where Season 1 took place. So we'll be in a different part of the world exploring different characters than we had in Season 1. And we're determining who from Season 1 might appear in Season 2.
"But essentially we're going to be telling a whole brand new story, which is exciting and scary. And with the high bar that Season 1 set for audience expectations, we feel that pressure too. And so we're just going to do our best to tell a story that feels within The Night Agent universe, but that feels new, fresh, and exciting."
When was the second series announced?
Less than one week after series one was released in March 2023, Netflix bosses confirmed the thriller series had been renewed for a second series.
Showrunner Shawn Ryan shared in a statement at the time: "To see the tremendous reaction to the show has been a great joy and is a credit to our cast, our writers, our directors, our crew and our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix.
"We couldn't be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on season two to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans."
Will there be any more series?
Yes! The Night Agent has officially been renewed for a third series!
