The wait for The Night Agent Season 2 is going to be longer than some fans had hoped.

In February 2024, Deadline reported that a new season of The Night Agent was expected to release on Netflix this year.

The Night Agent book author Matthew Quirk then gave a promising update in July, revealing he has been "getting an early look at Season 2" as the post-production process continues, and that the new season "absolutely rips."

Starring Gabriel Basso, The Night Agent opened big on Netflix in 2023. It shot to the top of the charts and debuted with 168.71 million hours watched in its first four days, the third-highest ever for a new show (via The Hollywood Reporter).

The show was quickly renewed for a second season on March 29, under a week after the ten-episode first outing debuted on Netflix.

During a recent Netflix earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos announced that the streamer won't deliver the second season of The Night Agent until 2025.

So When Exactly Will Night Agent Season 2 Release?

Netflix confirmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2024 that The Night Agent Season 2 had "officially wrapped production." The exciting update followed four months in production as the streamer noted on X in February 2024 that the series was "officially back in production."

The Night Agent Season 1 wrapped production in June 2022 before coming to Netflix in March 2023, around nine months later. As filming on the sophomore season was completed at a similar time of year in 2024, Season 2 could come to Netflix around March 2025.

According to Netflix, The Night Agent was renewed for 10 new episodes which will continue the story of Gabriel Basso's FBI agent Peter Sutherland. 

While the fate of the action thriller beyond its sophomore outing is unclear, if The Night Agent's next missions live up to the same viewership and acclaim as the first run, it wouldn't be shocking to see a Season 3 renewal on the cards.


The Night Agent is streaming on Netflix.
