Netflix has ordered a fourth season of the hit series 'The Night Agent', which will move production from New York to Los Angeles. The show's creator and showrunner Shawn Ryan said the series has filmed in five countries across three continents so far, and the writers' room has been working on scripts for the new season since 2025. The renewal comes two weeks after the release of Season 3, which had a softer debut than previous seasons but saw viewership grow in its second week.

Why it matters

The move to Los Angeles for production of 'The Night Agent' Season 4 comes with a $31.6 million tax credit from the state, signaling Netflix's continued investment in the show. The series has built a loyal fanbase over its first three seasons, and the creative team is confident the new season will be the best yet, though Netflix wanted to see viewership growth after a slower start for Season 3 before renewing.

The details

Season 3 of 'The Night Agent' saw lead actor Gabriel Basso's character, Peter Sutherland, tracking down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss. This kicked off a sequence of events where Peter, working with a relentless journalist, investigated a dark money network while avoiding its paid assassins. The new season will continue the story, with the writers' room having been at work since 2025.

  • Season 3 of 'The Night Agent' was released on February 19, 2026.
  • The renewal for Season 4 came just two weeks after the Season 3 premiere.
  • Production on Season 4 is expected to begin by late May 2026 due to a six-month window from a $31.6 million tax credit the show received to move production from New York to Los Angeles.
