“The Night Agent” to end with upcoming season 4 on Netflix

Key Points

• The Night Agent will come to an epic conclusion when it returns for its fourth and final season.

• Netflix renewed the series two weeks after the season 3 premiere on Feb. 19.

• Showrunner Shawn Ryan hopes to “complete our story and to make our final season one our fans will never forget.”

Gabriel Basso’s Peter Sutherland will embark on his final mission in The Night Agent‘s fourth season, Netflix announced Monday.

The streamer revealed that its spy thriller, which hails from showrunner Shawn Ryan, will conclude with the upcoming fourth installment. Season 4 began production in Los Angeles the same day as the announcement,

“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,” Ryan said in a statement. “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.”

Netflix renewed the action series for a fourth season in March, two weeks after the season 3 premiere, which racked up 13.9 million views in its first four days on the streamer. Production shifted to Los Angeles for the upcoming installment after filming its first three seasons across Vancouver, New York City, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Washington, D.C.

An official synopsis for The Night Agent season 4 has yet to be revealed, but fans can expect to see Peter take on a new assignment, uncovering more criminal schemes, and encountering both new allies and foes along the way.

Basso has led a mostly new cast each season as Sutherland, with Fola Evans-Akingbola also likely to reprise her role as Secret Service agent Chelsea Arrington in the final season. Stars Titus Welliver, Trevante Rhodes, Li Jun Li, and Elizabeth Lail will join the duo to round out the chapter’s cast.

Season 3’s cast featured Basso and Evans-Akingbola, as well as Louis Herthum, Amanda Warren, Ward Horton, David Lyons, Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, Genesis Rodriguez, and Callum Vinson.

The installment followed Peter as he was 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.

The season ended with Peter’s boss, FBI deputy director Mosley (Albert Jones), telling the agent he would be getting a partner.

There’s no word on a release date yet, but Ryan previously said he would like to get new seasons on the streamer quickly. The Night Agent will likely still follow an annual schedule with 10 episodes, meaning viewers won’t have to wait long between seasons 3 and 4.

“This cadence is easy,” Ryan told Deadline. “Compared to all the network stuff I did back in the day, you would have just finished making 22 episodes and before you’re even done doing post on that final episode, the writers room is starting up for the next season. When I was doing The Shield and The Unit, I think I made something like 44 episodes of TV in a calendar year. So this is nothing compared to that.”

The Night Agent is available to stream on Netflix.
