Why it matters

He praised Netflix for not rushing into a spinoff just because the main show was successful, saying they want to ensure there is a creative reason for a spinoff to exist. For now, Ryan's focus is on getting The Night Agent renewed for a fourth season and ensuring the series has a proper narrative arc that can stand the test of time.
