The Night Agent Season-Premiere Recap: AWOL


The premiere might not promise a lot of personal stakes for our characters, but at least it’s delivering on the action and spy stuff.

Shawn Ryan’s series The Night Agent was a surprise hit for Netflix in 2023, a familiar yet addictive conspiracy thriller about a covert counterintelligence program rooting out moles at the highest level of the U.S. government. Outside of the two leads, Night Action telephone operator turned agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) and cybersecurity entrepreneur Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), the announced main cast for season two is entirely new. When we first see Rose in this premiere, she’s in therapy, making an effort to open up about her lingering anxiety without getting into the details of what happened at Camp David — not to mention her long-distance AWOL boyfriend, the murder of her aunt and uncle, or anything else related to Night Action.
