Fresh off the success of The Recruit<\/a> late last year, Netflix is dipping back into the world of spy thrillers with The Night Agent, which follows another unassuming young operative drawn into a dangerous conspiracy.<\/p>\n

The Big C and Hillbilly Elegy<\/a> star Gabriel Basso steps into the lead role of Peter Sutherland, who works in the basement of the White House, manning a top secret phone line for compromised undercover spies. Don\u2019t worry, though, it never rings.<\/p>\n

Until one day, it does. Tech CEO Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan, Sweet Tooth<\/a>) dials up when her aunt and uncle are both assassinated, with her appeal for help bringing Peter out from behind his desk and into a dangerous field mission.<\/p>\n

Adding some star power to the series is Hong Chau, who is currently an Academy Award nominee for her performance in The Whale<\/a> and recently chilled viewers in culinary horror flick The Menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about The Night Agent ahead of its Netflix<\/a> premiere.<\/p>\n
