The Night Agent season 3 is officially filming, with production underway on the next chapter of one of the best Netflix shows. Even before the second season aired, the hit action series had already been renewed for a third outing thanks to the fact it is one of the streaming service's biggest hits.

In fact, the first season became one of the most watched Netflix shows of all time only weeks after it released in 2023, with season 2 already being one of 2025's biggest releases for the streaming service. So really it is no surprise that work is already underway on another instalment.

But what can you expect from The Night Agent season 3? Given that thrilling ending of The Night Agent season 2 gave us some teases, we do have an idea of what we can expect as Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) accepted another high stakes mission. However, the rest if currently a mystery.

The Night Agent season 3 release date speculation

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 kicked off for the new season and right now, it's looking like a 2026 release window is still possible as well.

During TUDUM, show creator Shawn Ryan shared that the team is "hard at work" writing scripts for season 3. Filming is also underway in Istanbul and will return to New York later this year as well. In fact, during an interview with GamesRadar+, lead actor Gabriel Basso confirmed that work on the first episode of the third season was already completedby late January 2025.

So, things are moving quite quickly! With this in mind, if filming for season 3 wraps in 2025, 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.
