As we sit here, unable to sleep, it’s because we are currently binge watching The Night Agent and well, Gabriel Basso, may be our new crush. The show is keeping us on our toes, waiting to see what happens next.
It’s really damn good.
That and it comes from Shawn Ryan and if you know us, you know we’re loyal as fuck to our Timeless family. We’ll never get over that show being cancelled and will remain bitter forever.
But that being said, we’re all about The Night Agent. Happy times for us that the show has been renewed for season two. The show had 168.7M hours viewed in its first few days on Netflix.
Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.
“We’re proud to see The Night Agent deliver a breakout performance and become instantly embraced around the world,” said Jinny Howe, VP of Drama Series, Netflix: “Shawn Ryan has created a spy thriller sensation that viewers cannot get enough of, with a stellar cast featuring Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan and Hong Chau, and we’re here to bring them more of the action and suspense they love.”
The action-thriller ranks #3 for premiere week of viewing across all Season 1 TV and appeared in the Top 10 in 93 countries.
“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.” said Shawn Ryan, Creator, Showrunner and Executive Producer.
We’re thrilled that The Night Agent has been renewed for a second season consisting of 10 episodes.
