For Season 4; Netflix Renewal Likely"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tThe Night Agent<\/a> is on the move \u2014 and closing in on a Season 4 renewal in the process. Netflix<\/a>\u2018s popular action thriller, from Sony Pictures Television, has secured a $31.6 million (40%) California tax credit<\/a> to relocate to Los Angeles<\/a>, paving the way for a Season 4 greenlight. (A fourth season has not been officially ordered yet, with the writers room currently up and running.)<\/p>\n

\n\tCreated by Shawn Ryan, The Night Agent filmed its first season, based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, in Vancouver, with Seasons 2 and 3 based in New York with additional location shoots in Thailand and T\u00fcrkiye, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe intention from early on had been for Season 4 to be set in Los Angeles contingent on the show landing a tax credit. (The Night Agent is done under Netflix\u2019s broadcast-size budget model for modestly priced dramas in the $5M-an-episode range after tax breaks.)<\/p>\n

\n\tRyan is believed to be behind the idea for the move. He has a long history of filming in L.A., from his first series as a creator, FX\u2019s The Shield, through CBS\u2019 The Unit and most recently the Sony TV-produced S.W.A.T. for CBS. (Sony TV also recently secured a $15.7M California tax credit for spinoff S.W.A.T. Exiles to also shoot in L.A.)<\/p>\n

\n\tA new setting could help reinvigorate The Night Agent, whose plot in the first three seasons revolved largely around New York and Washington, D.C. There is no premiere date set for Season 3; it is expected to debut in early 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn early Season 4 renewal for The Night Agent won\u2019t be a surprise. Netflix similarly picked up Season 3 a couple of months before the Season 2 premiere, allowing the series to keep a yearly release cadence, a rarity for a streaming drama series.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Night Agent centers on Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), a low-level FBI agent recruited in the secretive Night Action organization, with every season telling a new story. In the first two seasons, Peter was accompanied by Rose Larkin, played by Luciane Buchanan, who revealed to Deadline<\/a> recently that she is not returning for Season 3.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe upcoming third installment introduces new series regulars played by David Lyons, Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, Genesis Rodriguez and Callum Vinson.<\/p>\n

\n\tRyan serves as showrunner. He and Marney Hochman executive produce for MiddKid Productions. Season 3 executive producers also include Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn with Exhibit A; James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein and Nicole Tossou with Project X; Munis Rashid, Paul Bernard, Guy Ferland and Seth Fisher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Night Agent is on the move \u2014 and closing in on a Season 4 renewal in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,9233,16090,37606],"class_list":["post-62281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-netflix","tag-tax-credits","tag-the-night-agent"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
