Netflix calls in for a fourth season of their hit series The Night Agent

The Night Agent renewal

The phone is ringing and the creatives at The Night Agent have answered the call. In a cute public stunt, Netflix had set up a landline phone in Times Square, where bystanders had the opportunity to become Night Agents themselves. The call recipients were given directions and code words for a small, but adventurous mission. And once they accomplish the mission, they are greeted with a message on one of the video billboards, which said that The Night Agent will be returning for a season four. You can check out the publicity stunt in the video above.

Creator, executive producer and showrunner, Shawn Ryan, would state, “It’s been a wild ride filming The Night Agent in five countries across three continents to this point and we’re so thrilled that the adventures of Peter Sutherland will continue into Season 4. Our writers, our cast and our crew stand ready to answer the call to bring our incredible fans even more twists, turns and thrills.”

The Night Agent has been a hugely popular series for Netflix. Its debut season currently at #10 on the most popular list. Season 2 would go on to debut at #1 with 13.9 million views in just its first four days of release. Meanwhile, the recent season 3 hit #2 on the English TV list and earned 9.9 million views in its second week, with fans driving Seasons 1 and 2 back into the Global Top 10 list. 

Season 3

Series regulars Gabriel Basso, Louis Herthum, Stephen Moyer, Callum Vinson, David Lyons, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Jennifer Morrison, Albert Jones, Ward Horton and Genesis Rodriguez all returned for this last season.

The synopsis for season 3 reads, “Coming off the explosive events of Season Two, Night Agent Peter Sutherland is called in to track down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss.  This kicks off a sequence of events where Peter investigates a dark money network while avoiding its paid assassins, while putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist. Working together, they uncover buried secrets and old grudges that threaten to bring the government to its knees — and get them both killed in the process.”

Sony Pictures brings you the show and the executive producers on board include Marney Hochman with MiddKid Productions, Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn with Exhibit A; James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein and Nicole Tossou with Project X; David Beaubaire with Sunset Lane Media, Munis Rashid, Paul Bernard, Guy Ferland, and Seth Fisher.

What did we think of season 3?

Our Alex Maidy gave the third season of The Night Agent a favorable review, where he said, “The Night Agent is a great example of popcorn entertainment that can be enjoyed without caveats or disclaimers. This series is well-written and action-packed, never succumbing to genre tropes, and it drives the story. Gabriel Basso has come into his own in this role, and it shows that he and the character are evolving in lockstep. There are a few detours in the plot this season and a surprisingly cliffhanger-free ending that sets up a fourth season while also bringing this chapter of the story to a satisfying close.” And check out Alex’s interview with the show’s stars, Gabriel Basso and Genesis Rodriguez, which we shared a couple weeks ago.
