“The Night Agent” has been renewed for Season 4, which will shoot in Los Angeles.
Netflix announced the news with a video in which tourists in New York “answer the call” by picking up a ringing phone in the middle of Times Square. After they successfully completed a mission, “‘The Night Agent’ will return for Season 4” flashed on a giant digital billboard.
Starring Gabriel Basso and based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, “The Night Agent” follows FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he must protect the United States from a mole at the highest levels of the federal government.
“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,” said creator, executive producer and showrunner Shawn Ryan. “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” Season 3 aired in February and picked up after the explosive events of Season 2. Per the synopsis: “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.
The series is also executive produced by 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. Sony Pictures Television is the studio.
The production will be a boon for Los Angeles, which has struggled to incentivize film and TV projects to shoot in the city. In a press release, Netflix touted its other recent productions in L.A., which include “Nobody Wants This,” “Running Point,” “The Lincoln Lawyer,” “Beef” and more.
