The show became a global hit in 2023, with its first season amassing 812 million hours viewed and becoming the most-watched show on Netflix in the first half of the year. Seasons two and three were released in 2025 and 2026 respectively, with solid ratings but lower than the debut. " According to The Independent - Main, Ryan described the original plan as each season telling a self-contained story with a beginning, middle, and end, a structure he believes remains solid.
Gabriel Basso stars as Peter Sutherland, a low-level FBI agent. New cast members for season four include Titus Welliver, Trevante Rhodes, and Li Jun Li. It is commonly believed that the show's quality improved over time.
Ever since the initial success of The Night Agent, I’ve been obsessed with eventually delivering a proper and thrilling conclusion to the show and to Peter Sutherland’s journey.
The release date for season four has not been announced, and it is unclear if any original cast members will return.
I’m so grateful to Netflix and Sony Pictures Television for partnering with me on The Night Agent and for giving us the space to deliver a definitive final season to our worldwide legion of fans.
We are hard at work to complete our story and to make our final season one our fans will never forget.
The initial pitch for this show that we sold to Netflix was that each season would tell its own, mostly self-enclosed, a beginning, middle and end story, and any future seasons would include a few but not most of the characters that we saw in the previous season.
That was the original plan; I think it’s still a pretty solid plan. To me, it was important. I don’t want to tell this specific story over five seasons, I want to tell this specific story in one season and give some satisfaction to the audience that they see how things turn out.
