Season 2 of Netflix’s most-watched 2023 show is dropping much sooner than we thought

We don't have long to wait.

The action thriller show follows Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso, Hillbilly Elegy), a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House where his job is to man a phone that never rings.

That is until the night that it does, proceeding to propel him into a “fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office”.

Co-starring Luciane Buchanan as Rose, Peter’s love interest and a former Silicon Valley CEO, The Night Agent's first season was released to solid reviews - we here at JOE called it “Netflix’s answer to 24”.

On top of this, it went on to become the seventh most-watched English-language season of TV on the streamer ever.

And having already confirmed that The Night Agent would return for another batch of episodes featuring several new cast members, Netflix has revealed that season 2 will drop on 23 January 2025.

It also released a new trailer to accompany the news.

The show has already been renewed for a third season.
