Here’s everything we know about The Night Agent Season 2, including any release date and renewal updates, cast, plot, and more.

The Night Agent, the new political thriller from The Shield producer Shawn Ryan, landed on Netflix earlier this week to rave reviews and instant viewership, jumping straight to number one in the top 10 chart.

It follows Peter (Gabriel Basso), an FBI agent working the night action desk who becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy after a single phone call.

With more viewers set to binge the series over the weekend, here’s what we know about The Night Agent Season 2.

Has The Night Agent Season 2 release date been announced?

The Night Agent hasn’t been renewed for Season 2 yet, so there’s no release date at the time of writing.

If the first season continues to do well on Netflix – ideally, it’ll stick around on the chart for a couple of weeks – there’s a high chance it’ll return for a second season, especially given its acclaim.

In an interview with Deadline, Ryan said: “Listen, until there is a Season 2 picked up, the writers and I aren’t getting paid to figure that out until it becomes official in some way.

“I certainly have some ideas; I probably want to keep those to myself until the time comes. What I will tell you is that the initial pitch for this show that we sold to Netflix was that each season would tell its own, mostly self-enclosed, a beginning, middle and end story, and any future seasons would include a few but not most of the characters that we saw in the previous season.”

Is there a trailer for The Night Agent Season 2?

No, there’s no trailer for The Night Agent Season 2.

It’s not even been renewed yet, never mind there being any footage, but we’ll update this space once it’s been shared online. For now, you can watch the trailer for the first season below:

The Night Agent Season 2 cast: Who would return?

While The Night Agent has yet to be renewed for Season 2, there’s a few cast members we could expect to return:

• Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland
• Luciane Buchanan Rose Larkin
• Hong Chau as Diane Farr
• Christopher Shyer as Vice President Redfield
• Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington
• Sarah Desjardins as Maddie Redfield

In an interview with Variety, Ryan and Basso discussed what Peter’s codename would be in Season 2. “I trust Shawn implicitly, so I will defer to him on this one,” Basso said.

“I am so in love with this show, and I so want to make future episodes. But it is a little torturous to think too much about that before it happens, so I haven’t thought about it. But it’s a great point. We are going to have to figure it out if we do get a Season 2. Rose’s aunt and uncle were Sidewinder and Gazelle, so we’ll have to figure out what the perfect avatar for Peter is.”

The Night Agent Season 2 plot: What would it be about?

No official plot details have been shared for The Night Agent Season 2, we’ve had a few teases of what to expect.

Ryan said: “I don’t want to tell this specific story over five seasons, I want to tell this specific story in one season and give some satisfaction to the audience that they see how things turn out. They learn what the truth is about Peter’s father, they learn what the conspiracy was. You can feel a sense of completion.

“If we are successful enough that Netflix wants more seasons, I think there’d be a whole new world in which you would see a limited number of characters from this current season going into that. But that’s something that I’d have to sit down with the writers and have it all figured out.

“I really love the questions that we need answered on: What does it mean that Peter would be a night agent? Where is he going? Now that Rose is going back to California to try to restart her tech career, where does that leave Peter and Rose? I think these are all questions that we almost certainly would love to answer in a potential Season 2, and I certainly hope we get the opportunity to do that.”
