Netflix has released the first eight minutes of ‘The Night Agent’ Season 3, offering fans an early look at Peter Sutherland’s most personal chapter yet. The political thriller returns with a childhood flashback that reveals the emotional roots of Peter’s moral code, setting the tone for a season defined by higher stakes and deeper internal conflict. Watch it here.
The opening scene finds a young Peter listening as his mother receives a mysterious phone call that leaves her shaken. Before the timeline shifts back to the present, she urges him to promise he will “always do the right thing, even when it’s hard.” The moment reframes everything audiences have seen so far, connecting Peter’s present-day resolve to a defining memory from his past.
In Season 3, Gabriel Basso’s Peter is no longer balancing ordinary life with secret duty. Now fully embedded in Night Action, he operates in covert international missions that test both his instincts and his allegiance. Early scenes show him brokering a black-market intelligence deal before authorities close in, underscoring just how far he has evolved since the basement phone days of Season 1.
The preview also hints at global consequences ahead, including a devastating missile strike on a commercial flight. As Peter pushes further into morally complex territory, the line between right and wrong grows increasingly blurred. ‘The Night Agent’ Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
