Netflix has renewed the spy thriller series The Night Agent for a third season, according to an announcement made by the streaming platform on February 21, 2026. The renewal comes following the release of season two on February 22, 2024, and the immediate success of the show, which has quickly become a popular title within the spy and secret agent genre on the platform.
The series, starring Gabriel Basso as FBI Agent Peter Sutherland, centers on a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House, answering emergency calls. Season one saw Sutherland embroiled in a conspiracy that reached the highest levels of government. The first season concluded with numerous plot twists, including the revelation of a mole within the administration, as detailed by Netflix in their official ending explanation.
Season two continued to explore the complex world of espionage, with Sutherland and his partner, Chelsea Waxley, played by Luciane Buchanan, investigating a new threat involving a foreign adversary. The show’s appeal, according to reports, lies in its swift-paced plot and relatable characters. Basso’s portrayal of Sutherland has garnered attention, with South China Morning Post highlighting his role as the lead in the series.
While details regarding the plot of season three remain undisclosed, Netflix has confirmed that production is slated to begin in the spring of 2026. The renewal suggests continued strong viewership and positive reception for the series, positioning it as a key component of Netflix’s offerings in the spy thriller category. Collider lists The Night Agent among the 30 best spy and secret agent shows currently available on Netflix.
As of February 21, 2026, Netflix has not released any information regarding casting changes or the specific direction of the storyline for the upcoming season. The streaming service has maintained a standard policy of withholding detailed plot information prior to release, aiming to preserve the element of surprise for viewers.
