Several key details have been confirmed about The Night Agent Season 2 ahead of its upcoming release. 

The hit Netflix action thriller is set to return on Thursday, January 23, reintroducing fans to the ongoing plight of FBI agent Peter Sutherland (played by Gabriel Basso), after Season 1 proved to be one of the breakout hits of 2023

Season 2 will venture into uncharted waters, as it picks up after the Matthew Quirk novel Season 1 was based on. With no sequel to draw from for source material, the second batch of episodes will be an original story, centered on Agent Sutherland as he officially became a Night Agent at the end of Season 1.
