The Night Agent Season 2 is coming soon to Netflix, and it may be arriving on the streamer faster than you can speed-dial and call one of modern television’s most important action characters. The hit action thriller created by Shawn Ryan is returning to Netflix in January 2025.
Jan. 23, 2025, is the specific date that The Night Agent will be making its highly-anticipated return to the platform after Season 2 was in production for over a year. Variety is reporting that Season 2 will be released in its entirety next January, although it’s still uncertain how many episodes Season 2 will have. Season 1 consisted of ten high-octane chapters of action bliss, which were released in 2023.
The show follows FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he’s assigned to the weirdest position in the bureau. Sutherland’s job consists of picking up the phone while being locked down in a secluded office in a basement. His official position is Night Action telephone operator. The phone rings and Rose Larkin speaks on the other end. Before the burglars kill Rose’s uncle and aunt, they give her the phone number and code, and Sutherland’s protocol is activated when he picks up. Contrary to what he must do, he decides to protect Rose at all costs.
The series’ debut was a glorious day for Netflix, and after just four days of airtime, it got renewed for a second season. It currently sits in the sixth spot of the platform’s most watched series, and this is just with ten episodes. With the release of Season 2, it will just go higher.
Based on the book of the same name by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent was created by Shawn Ryan, the same mastermind behind shows like The Shield, The Unit, Lie to Me, and S.W.A.T. The cast includes Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan as the leads, and they’re joined by Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, D. B. Woodside, and Hong Chau, among others. Season 2 will see the survivors of the first season returning, and new performers include Amanda Warren, Michael Malarkey, and Brittany Snow.
What Else is Coming Soon to Netflix?
In the upcoming months, Netflix will begin one of the service’s most important runs. Starting in November, the streamer will see the return of the beloved martial arts series Cobra Kai, as well as the live boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. They will be adding films like Emilia Pérez, which is already gaining buzz for the award season. Another one of the platform’s most important series, Squid Game, will also return for its second season on Dec. 26, 2024. Considering that this is Netflix’s most successful show so far, 2024 will end with a big bang.
