We know another season is coming, but when? Well, great news, Netflix confirmedThe Night Agentseason 2 will return in late 2025.

To be more specific, Netflix has said it’s coming in Winter 2025. So, if we’re to make a release date prediction, we’d say that means it’ll air between December 2025 and February 2026. To narrow it down even further, we’re predicting it’ll launch in December as the streamer’s flagship show for the holiday season.

The Night Agent season 2 cast

When it comes to returning cast members ofThe Night Agentseason 2, both Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan are confirmed to be reprising their roles as Peter Sutherland and Rose Larkin respectively. Other than that, there’s no news from Netflix on who else will be returning, although the death count in season 1 tells us who won’t be.

We would speculate that Chief of Staff Diane Farr and Gordon Wick could return, but we’ll get into that in the plot section below. We may also see former VP, Ashley Redfield, his daughter, Maddie, as well as Chelsea Arrington in season 2 given where season 1 left us.

There is plenty to talk about when it comes to new cast members though, and the list below forThe Night Agentseason 2 is plentiful, as confirmed byNetflix. Here’sThe Night Agentseason 2 series regulars:

Brittany Snow joins as Alice, Peter’s partner and mentor for his first Night Action assignment; Teddy Sears as Warren, a high-level intelligence officer who becomes a subject of a Night Action investigation; Navig Negahban as Abbas, the “distinguished and measured” Iranian ambassador to the UN; and Rob Heaps as Tomas, a “British-educated, rich, entitled but driven man” who is desperate to return his family to power after his dictator father’s conviction of war crimes.

Amanda Warren joins as Catherine, a veteran of the Night Action program who trains and oversees the Night Agents. As described byNetflix, she’s “a fierce defender of her agents, but finds it difficult to earn Peter’s trust when he struggles with betrayal issues from his experiences in season 1.”

Then, there’s Jacob, an international businessman with powerful global connections, Solomon, a former Marine turned right-hand man/fixer for a powerful business, and Markus, a trained military leader loyal to his dictator uncle who was recently convicted in the Hague of war crimes.

There’s also Noor, a low-level aide in the Iranian mission to the United Nations in New York looking to leverage her access to top secret information into a better life for her and her family. As well as Javad, the head of security for the Iranian mission that Noor is on.

Tudumalso confirmed a few guest stars for season 2 including Marwan Kenzari as Reza, a decorated soldier joining as a night agent, Elise Kibler as Sloane, Tomás' smart, savvy, and glamorous British socialite girlfriend, and Dikran Tulaine as Viktor Bala, once leader of his country, now convicted of war crimes.

With all these new characters joiningThe Night Agentseason 2, we can speculate where the story goes next in our plot section below.

The Night Agent season 2 possible plot

Full spoilers follow forThe Night Agentseason 1.

Unlike season 1, there’s no book from author Matthew Quirk to follow. So, what direction will it take? Well, the official plot synopsis fromTudumsays, “The new season picks up after the thrilling events of Season 1, when Peter Sutherland’s efforts to save the president earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent. Working in the secretive organization of Night Action in Season 2 will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.”

Peter really made a name for himself in season 1, cementing his first mission as an official night agent leading into season 2. Well, unofficially, given the Night Action program is ‘off the books’. After he unraveled a huge conspiracy within the Oval Office and ultimately saved the life of President Michelle Travers, it’s unsurprising his efforts are being rewarded.

Viewers also watched the romance between Rose Larkin and Peter blossom throughout season 1, and they now face a new challenge as Peter embarks on his new dangerous job. So, there’s certainly more to explore on how they cope moving forward.

It’s certainly been discussed by showrunner Shawn Ryan, who spoke toTudum, “That’s one of the big questions we’d love to answer in Season 2. What does Peter getting on this plane and going somewhere (presumably overseas to enter into some new wild adventure mean, with Rose going back to California to try to pursue her Silicon Valley dreams again? We certainly have some initial ideas.”

We also know that while Peter successfully uncovered the White House conspiracy, he wasn’t able to prevent a couple of season 1’s villains from getting away. Both Diane Farr, presidential chief of staff, survived a gunshot wound in the final episode, and Gordon Wick, managed to escape while the dust settled.

Ryan added, “We liked the idea that this wasn’t so clean. That there is one person who, because of his resources and everything, is able to slink away. Maybe we’ll deal with him again in some way.” He’ll certainly have a vendetta against Peter and a bank roll that allows him to commit traitorous acts.

And when it comes to Farr’s future, Gabriel Basso told Tudum, “Due to his belief in due process, he’s not going to be bummed she’s alive.” Adding, “But if Farr eludes justice, he’ll be a little more wary of Travers. To be a traitor and not receive justice is not OK with Peter.”

From the new cast members joiningThe Night Agentseason 2, we’ve also got hints around what the first Night Action mission could entail with characters including a new powerful businessman and his Marine-turned-fixer, a dictator convicted of war crimes with a son and nephew both out for revenge, plus an Iranian mission, and a new night agent partner for Peter.

Shawn Ryan also toldDeadlinethat, when it comes toThe Night Agent, each season will have its own story to tell, “…the initial pitch for this show that we sold to Netflix was that each season would tell its own, mostly self-enclosed, a beginning, a 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.”

The official plot remains firmly under wraps forThe Night Agentseason 2, but we’ll be sure to update here as soon as we know more.

Where to watch The Night Agent

All 10 episodes ofThe Night Agentseason 1 can be streamed on Netflix. While you wait for season 2, there’sseven more spy shows likeThe Night Agentto add to your watchlist.

Will The Night Agent get a third season?

In an early move by Netflix,The Night Agentseason 3 was recently confirmed byTudum. Given its previous swift renewal and ongoing success on the streaming platform, it’s not really all that surprising. According to Netflix, “The Night AgentSeason 3 will begin a production unit in Istanbul at the end of 2024 before returning to film in New York in 2025.” No rest for the cast and crew then given season 2’s winter 2025 release date.

It doesn’t feel like it’ll end there though. In June,Deadlinerevealed that showrunner Shawn Ryan had signed an four-year overall deal with Netflix, which started in October when his deal withSonyexpired. With such an impressive agreement in place, it hints at the show expanding into a franchise, with Deadline discussing rumors of potentialThe Night Agentspin-offs.
