There's good news for The Night Agent fans!
One of Netflix's biggest shows, The Night Agent, is closer than ever to returning to our screens. That's right, production on season 2 has now wrapped up.

At the time, filming locations for the upcoming run were revealed to be Thailand, New York and Washington, DC.

At the time, series creator Shawn Ryan said of the renewal: "The last week has been a whirlwind as we’ve finally been able to share The Night Agent with the world.
"To see the tremendous reaction to the show has been a great joy and is a credit to our cast, our writers, our directors, our crew and our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix.
"We couldn’t be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on season 2 to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans."
The political thriller is based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, which sees low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) suddenly thrust into action after the phone he usually mans in silence rings and leads him into a dark world of conspiracy.
