The Night Agent Races To Foil A Terrorist Plot (And Makes A New Friend) In Season 3 Trailer

By Dave Nemetz

"The Night Agent" wasn't alone for long.

Netflix has released a trailer for Season 3 of the international thriller — debuting Thursday, February 19 with all eight episodes — and in it, a passenger plane is brought down by a missile in a terrorist attack, sending Gabriel Basso's Peter Sutherland on a hunt to find out who's responsible before they strike again. That hunt leads him to cross paths with a reporter played by "The Umbrella Academy" alum Genesis Rodriguez, who agrees to help him... and who looks like she might slip right into the void left by departing cast member Luciane Buchanan (aka Rose).

Elsewhere in the trailer: "True Blood" veteran Stephen Moyer plays a shadowy hitman trying his best to stop Peter in his tracks — and is that Timothy Hutton warning Peter, "You're making a mistake"?

Basso stars as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent who plunges into a vast worldwide conspiracy while hunting for a mole in the U.S. government. In Season 3, Peter "is called in to track down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss," per the official synopsis. "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 is joined in Season 3 by returning cast members Fola Evans-Akingbola and Louis Herthum, along with new cast additions like Jennifer Morrison ("Once Upon a Time"), Stephen Moyer ("True Blood") and David Lyons ("The Beast in Me"), among others. (Shawn Ryan serves as creator and showrunner.) We won't see cast member Luciane Buchanan in the new season, though: She revealed in September that she won't be returning as cybersecurity expert Rose in Season 3.
