Netflix has at last unleashed the first look at the return at one of the streamer’s biggest action thriller hits, The Night Agent Season 3. Gabriel Basso returns as one of the streamer’s best new action heroes, Peter Sutherland, who once again finds himself at the center of another heart-pounding mission. And Netflix has finally revealed that we won’t be waiting too much longer before that mission begins. You can check out the newly released trailer and more details for The Night Agent Season 3 below… Beginning back in 2023, The Night Agent is based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, and centers on a lowly 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. The first season was met with a hugely positive response from both critics and audiences alike, with Season 2 picking up with Peter Sutherland as he earns the opportunity to become a Night Agent…an opportunity that finds him once again facing danger from every direction. While Season 2 proved to be more divisive, both outings saw huge viewership for Netflix, with Season 1 becoming the year’s most-watched show and the seventh most popular English-language show of all time on the streamer. The second season, meanwhile, also racked up hundreds of millions of viewing hours. No doubt Netflix is hoping to continue this same success with the now imminent third season.
‘The Night Agent’ Season 3 Promises to Be a Globe-Trotting Adrenaline-Fueled Thrill Ride

The first footage from The Night Agent Season 3, which reveals that the new mission will commence on Netflix on February 19, 2026, finds Peter Sutherland fully embracing his role as a Night Agent. After surveying a crowded soccer game, Sutherland slips effortlessly into the role of protector as he leaps headfirst into all manner of car chases, shootouts, and fist fights. Alongside the trailer, you can also check out the newly revealed synopsis below…
Coming off the explosive events of Season Two, 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, while putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist. Working together, they uncover buried secrets and old grudges that threaten to bring the government to its knees — and get them both killed in the process.
Series creator, executive producer, and showrunner Shawn Ryan has teased The Night Agent Season 3 in a conversation with Netflix Tudum, promising that it will take audiences on “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride across Istanbul, Mexico City, Washington, New York, and the Dominican Republic,” with Night Agent Peter Sutherland facing more danger and drama than ever before.
“Peter grapples with a dangerous conspiracy at the heart of the White House, a dogged reporter with a hot tip and a murky past, a murder suspect trying to clear his name, a mysterious father and son leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, old friends in danger, a collection of familiar and new foes, and a new partner who could be his salvation — or his doom.”
The Night Agent Season 3 will see Gabriel Basso return alongside Amanda Warren as Peter’s handler, Catherine Weaver, Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington, and Albert Jones as Deputy FBI Director Aiden Mosley, with new recruits including Genesis Rodriguez, David Lyons, and True Blood star Stephen Moyer.
