by

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast who’s seen more action thrillers than I can count on one hand (and a few on the other), I can confidently say that the return of “The Night Agent” Season 2 next January is an event I’ve been eagerly anticipating. Having binge-watched the first season in record time, I found myself hooked by the high-octane action, intriguing plot twists, and Gabriel Basso’s captivating portrayal of FBI agent Peter Sutherland.

In January 2025, prepare for the swift arrival of Season 2 of “The Night Agent” on Netflix, a highly-anticipated return that may outpace your fastest dialing finger to reach one of contemporary television’s key action characters in this gripping thriller series by Shawn Ryan.

On January 23, 2025, “The Night Agent” is set to resume its run on the platform following a yearlong production for Season 2. According to Variety, all episodes of Season 2 will be available then, though the exact number of episodes remains unknown. Previously, Season 1, comprising ten thrilling installments, was released in 2023.

The series chronicles FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he takes on an unusual role within the bureau, serving as a night-time telephone operator stationed in a remote office located in the basement. When the phone rings and Rose Larkin is on the line, events unfold that lead to her uncle and aunt’s untimely demise at the hands of burglars. They had previously provided Rose with a phone number and code, and Sutherland’s predetermined actions are set in motion upon answering the call. However, instead of following protocol, he resolves to safeguard Rose above all else.

The first installment of the show made for an impressive day on Netflix, and by the end of its fourth day, a second season was already announced. At the moment, it ranks sixth among the most-watched series on their platform, with only ten episodes. When Season 2 launches, its popularity is expected to climb even higher.

According to Matthew Quirk’s book with the same title, The Night Agent was developed by Shawn Ryan, who is also known for producing shows such as The Shield, The Unit, Lie to Me, and S.W.A.T. The main characters are played by Gabriel Basso and Luciane Buchanan, while Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, D. B. Woodside, Hong Chau, and others round out the cast. In season 2, the survivors from the first season will reappear, with Amanda Warren, Michael Malarkey, and Brittany Snow joining the cast as new performers.

What Else is Coming Soon to Netflix?

Over the next few months, Netflix has some exciting programming lined up. Starting in November, the popular martial arts series “Cobra Kai” and the live boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will make their appearance. New films such as “Emilia Pérez,” which is already generating award season hype, will also be added. Additionally, the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s most successful show to date, “Squid Game,” is set to premiere on Dec 26, 2024, making for a spectacular end to 2024.

2025 promises an exhilarating continuation for Netflix subscribers like myself, as we eagerly anticipate the return of “Cobra Kai” and other beloved series. The upcoming fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” though yet to be officially dated, is expected to drop next year. Adding to this excitement are shows such as “Wednesday,” “Black Mirror,” and yes, “Squid Game,” all slated for a comeback in the new year. The cherry on top? “The Night Agent” has been renewed for a third season, ensuring more of that captivating storyline in the near future.
