The Night Agent Season 2 Is Officially Repeating A Storyline From Season 1 With A Darker Twist

The latest trailer for The Night Agent season 2 shows that the series will have a similar storyline to season 1, but with a significant difference. The Night Agent stars Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent who is pulled into a conspiracy after saving Rose Larkin, a young woman whose life is in danger after witnessing the murder of her aunt and uncle. With The Night Agent season 1 being one of Netflix’s most-watched shows, it’s no wonder that its second season has been highly anticipated.

There have been several theories about The Night Agent season 2, but there’s still an air of mystery regarding the sophomore season, seeing as Netfflix has kept important details about the show’s plot a secret. However, The Night Agent season 2’s latest trailer now offers a few clues about what Peter will be up to now that he is officially part of the Night Action.

The Night Agent Season 2 Sees Peter Sutherland On The Run Again

Peter’s Life Might Be In Danger In The Night Agent Season 2

After saving President Travers in the finale of The Night Agent season 1, Peter officially becomes a Night Agent, meaning that he will be in more danger than ever in the upcoming season. Although Peter’s status has changed from manning the Night Action line to calling the number, one thing about his story will be the same in the show’s sophomore season. In The Night Agent season 1, Peter had no choice but to go on the run when he was painted as a traitor by Dianne Farr.

The Night Agent Season 2 Has The Perfect Opportunity To Redeem The Worst Thing About Netflix’s Action Show

Netflix’s hit show, The Night Agent, is returning for a second season– and it has the perfect chance to fix one of season 1’s worst things.

Similarly, the sophomore season will see Peter going AWOL after he discovers that the extraction points for the Night Action agents are compromised, as established by the first moments of the trailer. Since Night Action is one of the top secret intelligence agencies, the fact that Peter decides to go into hiding proves that there is a credible threat to his life. If Peter will yet again be labeled as a traitor in the second season of The Night Agent, it explains why he has to go into hiding.

Peter Can’t Trust Anyone In The Night Agent Season 2

Although there isn’t yet a lot of information about the minute details of the plot for The Night Agent season 2, there is another thing the sophomore season will have in common with season 1: Peter is going to be betrayed by someone again. The trailer for The Night Agent season 2 shows that there is suspicion of a mole in the CIA who is selling American intelligence to the highest bidder. Like in the first season of the show, Peter doesn’t know who he can trust, and it’s up to him to find the leak so that he can clear his name.

One of the best things about The Night Agent season 1 is the mystery of who had betrayed Peter. While Peter didn’t know who was on his side in season 1, he knew he could count on Rose, Cisco, or his godfather. However, the second season depicts the Night Agent not even being able to trust Rose. The Night Agent season 2 repeating a similar storyline as the first season risks the show becoming redundant. Despite this, there are still ways that season 2 can be exciting, even if it has Peter dealing with another betrayal.

Peter Will Be More Prepared In The Night Agent Season 2

While The Night Agent seasons 1 and 2 have some things in common, there are ways that the next season can still be in a class of its own. In the first season, Peter was betrayed by Dianne Farr, someone he had a good relationship with. The Night Agent season 2 should see Peter being betrayed by someone he is close to if the show is to differentiate itself from Matthew Quirk’s book. This would not only make it a fresh story, but it would provide a more shocking twist.

Although The Night Agent season 1’s Metro bombing was an intriguing storyline, season 2 has to raise the stakes by having Peter face a greater threat. This might actually be the case in the upcoming season of The Night Agent since the trailer has Peter trying to recover “Enough experimental weapons to wipe out Manhattan.” With Peter now working for Night Action, the second season should also explore how his new job will put Rose in danger, especially because he will be facing better villains compared to season 1.
