Will Gabriel Basso’s Peter Sutherland be back for another case?
Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Night Agent season 1.
The first season of Netflix political thriller series The Night Agent has gone down a storm with viewers, jumping to the top of the streamer’s charts.
The series follows Gabriel Basso’s Peter Sutherland, a low-level FBI agent who has to spring into action after he receives a call which sends him searching for the heart of a wider conspiracy.
With many viewers now having finished watching the 10-episode run, thoughts are now turning to the future and whether Basso and the rest of the cast will be back for a second season. But what do we know so far?
Read on for everything you need to know about The Night Agent season 2.
Will there be a second season of The Night Agent?

It hasn’t been officially confirmed whether The Night Agent will be back for season 2 just yet, but with the series proving popular on Netflix, we imagine a renewal could certainly be in the offing.
The series also ended in such a way where there are plenty of new avenues the show could go in, even despite it having been based on a one-off book, as Peter sets off on a new mission having seemingly been appointed as a Night Action agent.
Speaking with Netflix TUDUM, showrunner Shawn Ryan said that the team would “love to tell” the story of what happens to Peter and Rose following the end of season 1, adding: “If viewers react to the show the way that we hope they will, and if people come and check it out.”
Ryan said these were the big questions a second season would be dealing with: “What does Peter getting on this plane to enter into some new wild adventure mean — with Rose going back to California to try to pursue her Silicon Valley dreams again? And where would that lead them?”
When asked specifically if a season 2 was on the cards, he said: “We certainly have some initial ideas…”

When would The Night Agent season 2 be released?

It’s difficult to say just when a second season of The Night Agent could debut on Netflix, given that the series hasn’t been officially renewed yet.
However, we’d imagine that the earliest it could be possibly be turned around for is in a year’s time, so we wouldn’t be expecting to see anything until early- to mid-2024 or later.
We’ll keep this page updated as and when we get any more concrete information.

We’d certainly imagine that if The Night Agent did return for a second season then Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan would both be back as Peter Sutherland and Rose Larkin respectively.
We could also see returns for Sarah Desjardins as Maddie Redfield and Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington, while returns for Hong Chau as Diane Farr and Christopher Shyer as (former) Vice President Redfield seem unlikely, but are not out of the question.
Here’s a list of the major cast members who could be back if the show returns for a second season:
- Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland
- Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin
- Hong Chau as Diane Farr
- Sarah Desjardins as Maddie Redfield
- Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington
- Christopher Shyer as Redfield
