The new season is another globe-trotting adventure for Gabriel Basso's Peter Sutherland, taking us from New York to Mexico City to Istanbul.

Currently, there's no Night Agent season 3 release date to report on. However, we do know that the show is definitely on its way. Production has already been completed on the new season and, right now, it's looking like an early 2026 release window is still possible as well.

As filming for season 3 wrapped has now wrapped, it's likely that we'll get an early 2026 release date. Night Agent season 2 finished filming back around mid-2024 before releasing on January 23, 2025. So we're betting that season 3 will follow a similar pattern. Stay tuned for updates.

But if you need a quick recap, The Night Agent season 2 ultimately ended with Peter being given a chance to redeem himself after it was exposed that he had been cooperating with the intelligence broker Jacob Monroe (who interfered with the presidential election). It's clear that Monroe is working with the next president-elect and Catherine wants to know more about the connection between the two. Peter is tasked with gaining Monroe's trust and collecting information in order to eventually destroy him.

It's all very exciting, and it seems like The Night Agent season 3 will be filled with explosive conflict and intrigue. Keep your eye on this guide as more information heads our way.
