Creator Shawn Ryan recently revealed that the scripts for the upcoming season were already halfway done when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike. The writers resumed their work in early October, shortly after the strike concluded. Given the immense success of the first season, which became the sixth most-viewed Netflix show of all time within 25 days of its premiere, it’s no surprise that the streaming giant is keen to fast-track the next instalment.

Continuing the Thrilling Saga
Season 2 of The Night Agent will pick up from where the first season left off. Gabriel Basso will reprise his role as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent responsible for a mysterious phone in the White House. This phone becomes the epicentre of a potential conspiracy when Peter receives a call hinting at a dangerous mole within the ranks. The series, based on Matthew Quirk’s novel of the same name, also features a stellar cast including Luciane Buchanan, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, Phoenix Raei, Enrique Murciano, DB Woodside, and Hong Chau.
Critical Acclaim and Viewership Success
The first season of The Night Agent not only dominated viewership charts but also received positive reviews from critics. These twin achievements set a high bar for the second season, which the creators are undoubtedly aiming to meet, if not surpass.

The Impact of Strikes on Production
While the writing for the second season is progressing smoothly, filming might face some delays. The Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is currently on strike. This means actors affiliated with this union won’t be participating in studio productions until the strike concludes and an agreement is reached.
Streaming Residuals – A Point of Contention
One of the primary issues causing friction between the studios and the actors’ union is the matter of streaming residuals. This directly impacts the cast of The Night Agent Season 2. SAG-AFTRA is reportedly seeking a yearly fee of $500 million from various streaming platforms, based on subscriber numbers. This fee would then be distributed among actors of streaming shows, potentially benefiting the cast of popular shows like The Night Agent.
