The Night Agent is gearing up for its third season on Netflix, with filming now wrapped and post-production underway. Fans can expect an early 2026 release as the story of FBI agent Peter Sutherland continues to unravel high-stakes conspiracies inside and outside the White House. Here’s everything we know about Season 3 so far.
Renewal and Season 2 Performance
Netflix renewed The Night Agent for a third season even before Season 2 premiered in October 2024. The show, adapted from Matthew Quirk’s novel and created by showrunner Shawn Ryan (S.W.A.T., The Shield), has consistently performed well on the platform.
Season 1 became the eighth most popular English-language Netflix series based on first-91-day views, recording 98.2 million views and 803.2 million hours watched. Season 2, which debuted on January 23, 2025, launched at No. 1 on Netflix’s English TV list, remaining in the weekly global top 10 for five weeks, accumulating 377.5 million viewing hours and 43.8 million completed views.
Showrunner Shawn Ryan expressed excitement for Season 3, stating:
“We’re so excited to bring new thrills, new worlds, new stunts, new characters, and new adventures to our fans in Season 3. We’ve already captured some of our biggest, most spectacular stuff yet. Thanks so much for devouring Season 2 and we look forward to bringing you a bigger and even better Season 3.”
The Night Agent Season 3 Production Updates
Season 3 filming began in Istanbul in late 2024, then moved to New York, Washington D.C., Turkey, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, officially wrapping on July 14, 2025. Behind-the-scenes videos featuring Gabriel Basso, who reprises his role as Peter Sutherland, highlighted the global scope and high production value of the upcoming season.
Post-production is currently in progress, bringing fans closer to the highly anticipated release.
What to Expect in The Night Agent Season 3
Season 3 picks up after Peter’s daring efforts to rescue Rose and thwart Viktor Bala’s network. Following the events of Season 2, Peter’s choices have left him compromised, and he may now work undercover within intelligence broker Jacob Monroe’s orbit.
Rose returns to California but remains a target due to her technical skills and prior involvement in locating Peter. Meanwhile, the political stakes intensify as former CIA director Patrick Knox drops out of the presidential race, clearing the path for Governor Hagan, closely aligned with Monroe.
