Netflix’s “The Night Agent” is set to return for season 2 on January 23 and has already been renewed for season 3. The conspiracy thriller, based on a bestseller, follows FBI agent Peter Sutherland.
Paramount+’s “Lioness” is a hit spy thriller with an 80% audience approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes. Genesis Rodriguez, who had roles in various shows before joining “Lioness”, has been cast as a series regular in “The Night Agent” season 3.
What This Means for “The Night Agent” ? Production for season 3 will occur in Istanbul and New York. While not much is known about the plot, the show’s format involves independent stories each season. Adding Rodriguez, a “Lioness” breakout star during her own breakout moment, gives “The Night Agent” an edge. Her casting adds hype and signals Netflix’s faith in the series. There will likely be more new faces in season 3, and more details may emerge before season 2 premieres, with the full plot becoming clearer after season 2 concludes.
The Casting
The casting of Rodriguez is a smart move by Netflix. It helps build anticipation for season 3 even before season 2 has premiered. With her rising popularity from “Lioness”, she can bring new energy and viewers to “The Night Agent”, making it likely that season 3 will have a strong cast and continue the series’ success.
