The Night Agent Season 3 Review: Gabriel Basso Anchors the Strongest Season

When Shawn Ryan’s The Night Agent premiered on Netflix in 2023 it quickly became one of the platform’s most-watched series. Season 1 paired high-octane action with political intrigue and Gabriel Basso’s grounded work as Peter Sutherland; after an overpacked Season 2, Season 3 returns to those roots with a tighter, more focused story that feels like the show’s strongest season yet.

Picking up after Season 2, Peter operates as a double agent and takes a mission to find FinCEN employee Jay Batra, accused of killing his boss after uncovering sensitive government intel. Locating Jay in Istanbul turns a supposed manhunt into a sprawling investigation of dark money, political influence and hired killers.

Teaming with journalist Isabel De Leon, Peter pursues a conspiracy that hits closer to home while Chelsea Arrington, back inside the White House, begins to notice tensions and secrets beneath the administration’s public image.
