‘The Night Agent’ Trailer: What Happens After Phone That ‘Rarely Rings’ Does? (VIDEO)
In The Night Agent, Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) is in charge of manning a phone that never rings .. until it does..
The trailer for the Netflix series dropping on Thursday, March 23 shows Peter on a train, finding a bomb and evacuating everyone. The bomb does go off. Then, Peter’s welcomed to the White House by Diane Farr (Hong Chau), the President’s Chief of Staff. “Have you ever heard of Night Action? It’s a top secret investigative program within the FBI,” she tells him. “So you want me to be a Night Agent?” he asks. “God, no,” she corrects him. “I want you to answer the phone for them. It rarely rings.”
But then the phone does ring, and that’s how Peter meets Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan). It’s up to him to protect her, and they must work together to uncover the conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.
Watch the action-packed trailer above for more (and we have to admit, we love the “Trust no one” before a glimpse at The X-Files‘ Robert Patrick).
