The buzz around The Night Agent Season 3 is electric, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this heart-pounding Netflix spy thriller. After that wild Season 2 ending, everyone’s dying to know what’s in store for Peter Sutherland and the shadowy world of Night Action. Filming’s done, new faces are joining the cast, and the plot’s shaping up to be a global rollercoaster. Here’s everything known so far about the release date, cast, and story details.
When Will The Night Agent Season 3 Hit Netflix?
No exact date’s been announced, but early 2026 looks likely, with January 22, 2026, floating around as a possible premiere based on how production’s moving. Filming started in Istanbul in late 2024 and wrapped up in July 2025, hitting locations like New York, Washington, D.C., Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Post-production’s in full swing now, so the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 should be shorter than the two years fans waited after Season 1, which got held up by the 2023 writers’ strike. Expect a sleek, action-packed season landing soon.
Who’s Returning and Who’s New in the Cast?
Season 3’s cast is a killer mix of old favorites and exciting newcomers, bringing fresh energy to the high-stakes drama.
Returning Stars
-
Gabriel Basso is back as Peter Sutherland, the FBI agent turned Night Agent who’s always one step away from disaster. His grit and heart keep the show pulsing, and his next mission’s gonna test him like never before.
-
Amanda Warren should return as Catherine Weaver, Peter’s sharp-witted handler steering him through his covert ops.
-
Fola Evans-Akingbola (Chelsea Arrington), Ward Horton (Governor Richard Hagan), and Albert Jones (Deputy Director Aiden Mosely) are now series regulars, meaning bigger roles after their Season 1 and 2 moments.
-
Louis Herthum as Jacob Monroe, the sketchy intelligence broker, is expected back after that game-changing Season 2 cliffhanger.
Fresh Faces
The new cast members are raising the stakes:
-
Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon a Time) plays the First Lady, Hagan’s wife, a sharp political player with charm to spare.
-
Stephen Moyer (True Blood) brings menace as a top-tier hitman.
-
David Lyons (Revolution) joins as a retired spy pulled back into the game.
-
Genesis Rodriguez (Lioness) is a financial reporter digging into a dangerous story, though details are hush-hush.
-
Callum Vinson (Chucky) is a series regular, but his role’s still a mystery.
-
Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) pops up in a recurring part, promising to shake things up.
What about Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin? Her emotional goodbye to Peter in Season 2 left fans wondering. Nothing’s confirmed, but showrunner Shawn Ryan’s dropped hints about her importance and that spark with Basso. Fingers crossed she’s back, even if it’s just for a cameo.
What’s the Plot for Season 3?
The plot’s being kept under lock and key, but the Season 2 finale set the stage for something huge. Peter’s stuck in a tricky double-agent gig, tasked with getting close to Jacob Monroe, the intelligence broker who tricked him into snagging a damning file from the United Nations. That file tipped the presidential election toward Governor Richard Hagan, and now Peter’s gotta play nice with Monroe while feeding info to the FBI to unravel his network, which might even involve the new president.
With filming in Istanbul, New York, D.C., Mexico City, and the Dominican Republic, Season 3’s going global. Think international conspiracies, intense action, and stunning backdrops. Shawn Ryan’s teasing “new thrills, new places, and new faces,” with Peter wrestling guilt from Season 2’s fallout while diving deeper into Night Action’s moral gray zone. The hitman (Moyer), reporter (Rodriguez), and First Lady (Morrison) point to a web of political schemes and betrayal.
Like always, The Night Agent will mix standalone missions with ongoing mysteries, maybe digging into Monroe’s full reach or whether Peter can stay true to himself.
