'The Night Agent' creator hints crucial change for potential second season on Netflix


The showrunner of “The Night Agent” has addressed inquiries about the potential for a second season, after the series premiered on Netflix on March 23 and quickly ascended to the top position in the Top 10 UK TV shows on the platform. The show, which is an adaptation of Matthew Quirk’s eponymous novel, features Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland and is a fast-paced spy thriller.

In The Night Agent, Peter Sutherland finds himself embroiled in a dangerous plot that involves a spy within the White House. Alongside Gabriel Basso, the show features a talented cast including Luciane Buchanan, Sarah Desjardins, and Hong Chau, who was recently nominated for an Oscar.

The series has gained significant popularity among viewers, with numerous fans taking to Twitter to express their admiration for the adaptation and recommending it to fans of similar shows like Jack Ryan.

During an interview, the show’s creator, Shawn Ryan, was questioned about the possibility of a second season for The Night Agent. Although Netflix has been known to cancel shows prematurely, the situation for The Night Agent is further complicated as there is no sequel book to adapt for the next season.

Ryan explained that he and his team of writers would not begin crafting the storyline until Netflix officially greenlights the second season.

When asked about the possibility of a second season for The Night Agent, Ryan stated that he has some concepts in mind but would prefer not to disclose them until the series is officially renewed.

Nevertheless, he did disclose that any future seasons would most likely be self-contained stories with a distinct beginning, middle, and end. According to Ryan, the show’s original pitch to Netflix was based on this idea, with subsequent seasons featuring only a few of the characters from the previous season, but not all of them.Ryan emphasized that the original plan was to create self-contained seasons with a clear storyline and resolution, which he believes is still a sound approach. He stated that it was crucial for him not to extend the narrative over multiple seasons and instead, complete each story within one season, providing the audience with a sense of satisfaction about how the plot unfolds.
