Cover Story

From novel to Netflix: ‘The Night Agent’ premieres second season

By Dana Simpson

Who is the real bad guy in “Night Agent”? To those unfamiliar with the drama, the question points to several shifting plots and potential double-crosses within the storyline. For those following along with the series and patiently awaiting a second season, this question comes across as completely understandable given that series is “filled with baddies” (per Netflix). With 10 45-minute episodes already on Netflix from Season 1 and a recent confirmation that Season 3 is already in the casting stages, Netflix welcomes “The Night Agent” Season 2, premiering Thursday, Jan. 23. Based on the novel of the same name by American journalist and New York Times bestselling author Matthew Quirk, “The Night Agent” follows Peter Sutherland (played on screen by Gabriel Basso, “Juror #2,” 2024), a low-level

FBI agent who “works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings” (per Netflix). One evening, however, the phone does ring, prompting Sutherland to take on a case so big it would impact the entire country.

As it turns out (and now may be a good time to mention that several mild spoilers from Season 1 lay ahead), the basement phone is tied to “an emergency line for undercover spies” (per Netflix). When Sutherland answers the call, he hears a woman’s voice explain that a double homicide has just taken place and she fears she may be next. Springing into action to protect the civilian who somehow managed to find the night agents’ helpline, what follows is an action-packed season filled with assassination attempts, double-crosses, brazen attacks, mistaken identities, terrorist plots and oh so much running.

“Imagine ‘All the President’s Men’ [1976] with car chases,”

said creator Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) to Netflix’s online publication, Tudum. “If you like the Jack Ryan books, the Jack Reacher books, if you like the Bourne Identity stuff, if you like political intrigue, then ‘The Night Agent’ is for you.”

On the note of “political intrigue,” the spy series holds nothing back. With all the twists and turns of a good murder mystery and shady, motivated characters akin to “House of Cards” and “Game of Thrones,” “The Night Agent” all but urges viewers not to get too attached to any one character. While audiences now know who committed the D.C. Metro bombing in Season 1, matters become far more sinister when it is revealed that others have been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

This season, the series dives into an increasingly shadowy world. After Peter’s success in Season 1, he has earned the opportunity to work in the secretive organization

Night Action, which pushes him “into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply” (per Netflix). “There are people here who make bad choices for what they think are the right reasons,” Ryan explains to Netflix during another interview. “But that’s a slippery slope that leads to increased bad decisions, where suddenly you look up and ... you’ve lost your soul.”

In addition to the titular night agent played by Basso, returning actors include Luciane Buchanan (“The New Legends of Monkey”), who plays emergency-line caller Rose Larkin, and BAFTA nominee Fola Evans-Akingbola (“Siren”), who plays Secret Service agent Chelsea Arrington. Joining the cast this season is Amanda Warren (“The Leftovers”) as Catherine, a “veteran of the top-secret Night Action investigative program who trains and oversees various Night Agents” (per Netflix’s Tudum).

“Paradise” (Hulu — Jan. 28, Series Premiere) A thriller set in a peaceful community, this series follows the lives of some of the world’s most prominent individuals. But, the thin veil of tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs, leading to a high-stakes investigation. Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, James Marsden, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin and Percy Daggs IV star.

“To Catch a Smuggler: Tropical Takedown” (Jan. 22) Air and Marine Operations and Homeland Security Investigations work throughout the Caribbean to combat the global cocaine trade. The “Caribbean Corridor” has become a gateway for criminal networks pushing cocaine to the U.S. and Europe.

Norman Lear with Carroll O’Connor as famously opinionated household head Archie Bunker. Then comes “M*A*S*H,” which earned acclaim for mixing humor and drama in depicting a medical unit during the Korean War; Alan Alda leads the ensemble cast as wisecracking surgeon Hawkeye Pierce. Up next is “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” with the title star as Mary Richards, an ever-optimistic producer in a TV newsroom filled with colorful characters. Moore’s company also produced the series that follows, “The Bob Newhart Show,” with stand-up comedy veteran Bob Newhart as a wittily mild-mannered Chicago psychologist. Closing out the night is “The Carol Burnett Show,” the legendary comedy-variety showcase in which Carol Burnett regularly featured musical guests and often used them in skits, along with such regular members of her troupe as Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence.
