- Season 2 of The night agent premieres on January 23
- The show will answer some “big questions”
- Decisions in season 2 will “bear and snowball”
One of the good things about sitting down and watching The night agent season 2 is that you know it’s not going to suffer the Netflix curse: the action-packed thriller has already been greenlit for a third season. And now we have some new information about how season 2 might end and what it means for the third season, which is already underway.
The official plot synopsis from Tudum states that “working in the secret organization of Night Action in Season 2 will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply”. Showrunner Shawn Ryan says there are some “big questions” the top Netflix show would love to answer: “What does it mean for Peter to get on this plane and go somewhere (presumably overseas to enter a new wild adventure), with Rose heading back to California to try to pursue her Silicon Valley dreams again?”
And now cast members are dropping some hints about where it ends and where it will go next.
What is The Night Agent cast saying about seasons 2 and 3?
Look at
Speaking to TV Insider, Amanda Warren – who plays Peter’s boss Catherine in Season 2 – said it all ties together “in the sickest way possible… It’s really, really exciting how they’ve been able to bring together all in this one season, but still have the same kind of core in focus, if you will”.
Showrunner Ryan says that “all the clues are in Season 2 for what’s set up for Season 3”. While each season has its own story arc, “there will be some loose ends in Season 2 that we intend to pick up in Season 3.” That doesn’t mean you’ll be left hanging, though: Ruan says “most of Season 2’s questions will be answered by the end of our 10 episodes”.
So what can we expect? Gabriel Basso, who plays Peter, says his character will make “some bad decisions” that will limit his future options. “He made decisions that have consequences, and I think that’s refreshing”. At the end of season 2, “it’s not like, okay, wipe the slate clean,” Basso says. “It snowballs. Every decision Peter makes in Season 2 will have an effect for Season 3.” And it is already shooting, so Basso can confirm that “he is in a tight spot”.
Rose is also drawn back into the action. Luciane Buchanan says that even though Rose had lost everything at the end of season 1, “I think she has things to go back to.” And according to Amanda Warren, Catherine will “get what she needs and following her in that pursuit is really exciting… the actions she takes and when she acts.”
It’s all very mysterious, but you’ll be able to find out exactly what’s going on very soon. The night agent season 2 premieres on Netflix on Thursday, January 23.
