It will be just over a year when The Night Agent returns for its third season, with a big change (Luciane Buchanan‘s not coming back!) as well as some new faces.

On Thursday, December 4, Netflix announced the Season 3 premiere date (February 2026) and released a teaser and photos offering a look at Peter’s (Gabriel Basso) next mission and some of the new faces joining him. The new video, which you can watch above, offers a look at Peter in action, finding someone (Suraj Sharma) at a soccer game. People are looking for him, Peter warns, but “Do exactly what I tell you to do, and we’ll get out of here safely.” That’s easier said than done. The preview also offers a look at Stephen Moyer‘s character. Is Peter telling him he’s a Night Agent, or is that just what the trailer wants us to think?

The action-thriller returned for its second season on January 23, 2025, but before that date was even announced (on November 13), the streaming service renewed it for a third (on October 8). Read on for everything we know about Season 3, from the premiere date to the cast and more.

When will The Night Agent Season 3 premiere?

The Night Agent Season 3 will premiere on Thursday, February 19, 2026, on Netflix, with all episodes available at drop. That follows the pattern for the previous seasons: The first was released on March 23, 2023, and the second on January 23, 2025.

Where did The Night Agent Season 2 leave off?

To save Rose (Luciane Buchanan) after she’d been kidnapped by the men who wanted to use a deadly nerve agent on Manhattan, Peter (Gabriel Basso) made a deal with businessman Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum) and stole a file for him from the UN. Once the attack was stopped, he turned himself over to Catherine (Amanda Warren), who, at the end of the Season 2 finale, told him about his next mission: When Jacob reaches out, do as he says and gain his trust so he can figure out who’s on his payroll — which seems to lead to the new president. (The file Peter stole led to the other candidate dropping out of the race.)

Who’s in the cast for The Night Agent Season 3?

Gabriel Basso is, of course, back as Peter Sutherland. Joining him as series regulars are Louis Herthum, Stephen Moyer, Callum Vinson, David Lyons, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Jennifer Morrison, Albert Jones, Ward Horton, and Genesis Rodriguez. (Evans-Akingbola, Horton, and Jones were all upped to series regulars in January.) Amanda Warren also returns. Suraj Sharma will recur.

It was announced in September that Buchanan will not be returning as Rose. The door hasn’t been closed on a return in the future, should the show continue.

What’s The Night Agent Season 3 about?

The series, based on Matthew Quirk’s novel, began by following Peter as he ultimately saved the president in Season 1. That led to him becoming a Night Agent himself, which we saw in Season 2.

Now, in Season 3, Netflix teases, “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.”

Basso, while discussing Season 2, told TV Insider that Season 3 contains his favorite stunt so far. “They let me do something that I can’t believe they let me do, and I only did it once because I think when they realized what I was doing, they shot it down immediately,” he revealed. “But they got it on camera, and then they all ran in and were like, stop this now. I’m psyched we got away with it. I can’t tell you what it is, but it’s pretty awesome.”
