The Night Agent

The Night Agent is a series adaptation of the novel by Matthew Quirk about a low-level FBI agent thrust into a conspiracy.

Gabriel Basso takes on the role of Peter Sutherland, who is described as "the least important person working in a very important place", because he isn't actually a night agent, but answers the phone for the night agents in distress. One day, Peter receives a call from terrified civilian Rose Larkin, a tech CEO whose aunt and uncle have been assassinated, which sends both Peter and Rose running for their lives.^[1]

On March 30, 2023, The Night Agent was renewed for season 2.^[2] New regular cast members for season 2 include Amanda Warren, Arienne Mandi as an Iranian aide, Berto Colon as a Marine-turned-fixer for a powerful businessman, and Louis Herthum as that businessman. New recurring character in season 2 include Brittany Snow and Teddy Sears, who portray FBI agents related to Night Action.^[3]

Trivia[]

That original pilot script included 2 storylines: the Peter/Rose story about a low-level FBI agent manning a White House emergency spy phone getting a call from a terrified civilian, and a Secret Service story about the Vice President's daughter and her detail in Rome. Netflix's VP Drama Series Jinny Howe was concerned about the pilot's split focus between the Peter/Rose story and the Secret Service storyline. They felt it would work better if the pilot focused on Peter and Rose, and the world opened up later to include the Secret Service story. In response, creator Shawn Ryan expanded the Peter/Rose pilot story and pushed the Secret Service story back. His original script was 59 pages, dropping the Secret Service story brought it down to 53, making the story tighter. The biggest addition was the confrontation outside Peter's apartment with the Rome Tome guys. He also lengthened some of the Peter/Rose conversations and went deeper with them.^[4]
- Ryan's original idea involved the Vice President's daughter studying in Rome and all action eventually migrating there, culminating into a big finale at an international conference with the President. After conversations with Netflix, a decision was made to keep the season set in the DC area, with the Camp David as backdrop for the big attack.^[4]
