The Night Agent Season 3: Netflix’s Thriller Returns with High-Stakes Global Mission

Netflix Confirms Return of Hit Action Thriller

The popular thriller series The Night Agent is making a highly anticipated return to Netflix, with the third season set to premiere on February 19, 2026. This marks the continuation of one of Netflix’s most successful original series, with the series emerging as the third-most-viewed debuting series on Netflix in its first four days, and within a month, it became the streaming service’s sixth-most-viewed series.

A Global Conspiracy Unfolds

Gabriel Basso returns as Peter Sutherland, stepping back into a world shaped by political volatility, international reach, and the personal fallout of his choices. Season 3 pushes the series into new territory, grounding its story in a wider geographic landscape and a growing list of adversaries. In this new chapter, Peter’s work as a Night Agent forces him into a case that begins with a killing inside the U.S. Treasury Department and quickly unspools across continents.

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, putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist.

New Cast Members Join the Action

The cast includes Gabriel Basso, Louis Herthum, Stephen Moyer, Callum Vinson, David Lyons, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Jennifer Morrison, Albert Jones, Ward Horton, and Genesis Rodriguez. However, fans were surprised to learn that Luciane Buchanan, who played Rose Larkin in the first two seasons, will not appear in Season 3, though showrunner Shawn Ryan has left the door open for her potential return.

Production Journey and Release Details

Season 3 will consist of 10 episodes, all of which will be available for streaming on the premiere date. The production kicked off in Istanbul, Turkey, late last year and continued throughout much of 2025, with 10 new episodes being put into production. The series filmed across multiple international locations, adding to the show’s global scope.

What This Means for Viewers

The Night Agent has become a cornerstone of Netflix’s thriller programming, consistently delivering high-stakes drama and action-packed storytelling. The Night Agent became an instant global hit on its release in 2023 and again in 2025 with Season 2, with both seasons hitting #1 on the Netflix charts. With Season 3 expanding the scope to a worldwide conspiracy involving dark money networks and international intrigue, the series promises to deliver the binge-worthy entertainment that made it a phenomenon. As February 19, 2026 approaches, fans can prepare for another thrilling chapter in Peter Sutherland’s journey as a Night Agent.
