Here’s everything you need to know about what’s in store for the next chapter of this Netflix original series.

Warning: Spoilers are ahead. According to Gabriel Basso, Peter Sutherland’s fate in season 2 could take a dramatic turn. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the 28-year-old actor expressed a desire for his character to face mortality, remarking, “I would want to die at some point just because it has to happen,” just days before the show’s return.

Is There a Trailer for ‘The Night Agent’ Season 3?

Yes, Netflix released a thirty-second teaser to get fans excited and introduce them to the new actors who will be coming on board the show: Genesis Rodriguez, Stephen Moyer, David Lyons and Suraj Sharma, the latter of whom will play a recurring character. Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon a Time) will also be joining the cast, though she isn’t seen in this first teaser.

Season 2 series regular Amanda Warren will be coming back as a recurring character. Meanwhile, Herthum, Jones and Horton will all reprise their roles as the recurring characters they were introduced as in season 2.
