Gabriel Basso is back as Peter Sutherland in The Night Agent season 3, and he's joined by a mix of new and familiar faces. Once again, Peter is at the center of an international conspiracy in his role with Night Action, a top-secret counterintelligence agency. This time, however, he must maneuver the moral grey area he plunged himself into when he climbed into The Broker's pocket in The Night Agent season 2.
The Night Agent, created by Shawn Ryan, has introduced new conspiracies, criminals, accomplices, and allies with every season. This naturally means a great many rotating faces. Season 3 brings back Basso's Peter, Fola Evans-Akingbola's Chelsea Arrington, Amanda Warren's Catherine Weaver, and season 2's newly elected president, Richard Hagan (Ward Horton). There are even more new arrivals in The Night Agent season 3, with the introduction of President Hagan's first lady, a new eager ally for Peter, an unfortunate genius, and a mysterious assassin, among others.
Luciane Buchanan revealed last year that she would not return to play Rose Larkin in The Night Agent season 3.
