The Night Agent returns to Netflix in January

It may have sounded mad to see that Netflix has already greenlit a third season of The Night Agent before the second even debuted, but there's a very good reason for that. When the show debuted its first season, it quickly became a mega hit for the platform, and to this day, The Night Agent is the seventh most-watched TV series of all-time for English productions on Netflix. It's amassed over 800 million hours viewed, which puts it just below Season 3 of Bridgerton. Essentially, out of nowhere, Netflix found a huge hit and now it's banking on it big time.

While Season 3 is likely still a while off, we do now know when Season 2 will premiere. A teaser trailer affirms that The Night Agent will return to Netflix on January 23, continuing the story that ended with a major plot twist in Season 1. As per the plot synopsis for Season 2, we're told:

"Peter's efforts to save the president were successful, and now he's earned the opportunity to become a Night Agent. Working in the secretive organization Night Action in Season 2 will push Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply."
