\n\tEXCLUSIVE: The Night Agent<\/a> will give fans what they want before calling it a day \u2014 Peter Sutherland and Rose Larkin together again. Luciane Buchanan<\/a>, who played Peter\u2019s (Gabriel Basso<\/a>) charge-turned-partner and love interest Rose in the first two seasons of the Netflix<\/a> action drama, will reprise her role in the series\u2019 upcoming fourth and final season, Deadline has learned. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe extent of Rose\u2019s Season 4 presence is unclear as her storyline is being kept under wraps. Buchanan\u2019s return answers one of the biggest questions raised by the recent announcement that The Night Agent will end with the upcoming fourth season<\/a>: will the show bring back Rose for its final installment? <\/p>\n

\n\tFans were left disappointed when Buchanan, the female lead opposite Basso in Seasons 1 and 2 of The Night Agent, was not invited back for Season 3<\/a>, though showrunner Shawn Ryan, who explained the decision<\/a> with creative reasons, left the door open for her to return in future seasons.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love Luciane, and I\u2019d love to see Rose on the show again at some point,\u201d Ryan told Deadline<\/a> in February. <\/p>\n

\n\tBy not picking up Buchanan\u2019s option for Season 3, The Night Agent released her from contract, so a new deal has to be made for her to come back, something I hear has been done for her to do Season 4, currently filming in Los Angeles. Netflix and series producer Sony Pictures TV declined comment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I talked to her about that decision after Season 2, I was very clear with her, Hey, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the end of you on the show. And there very well may be a time where I call and beg you to come back, whether it\u2019s for a whole season, whether it\u2019s for an episode or two, whatever,\u201d Ryan told Deadline in February, ahead of the Season 3 launch, when it looked possible for The Night Agent to go on for multiple more seasons beyond that.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t(L-R): Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin and Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland in Season 1 of \u2018The Night Agent\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the time, Ryan was noncommittal when asked whether the show moving production to Rose\u2019s home state of California for Season 4 would help facilitate her potential return, noting that Rose technically lives in the Bay Area while the new season takes place in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn her interview with Deadline, Buchanan also\u00a0was hopeful about a possible return<\/a>, noting that both the show\u2019s writers and the audiences \u201creally loved the dynamic of Peter and Rose,\u201d adding, \u201cI\u2019m sure Shawn Ryan and his team will find a little way; maybe we\u2019ll make a little cameo along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the series, created by Ryan based on Matthew Quirk\u2019s novel, is titled The Night Agent and centers on Basso\u2019s titular character, Peter\u2019s relationship with Rose, which was a focus of the first season, captured fans\u2019 hearts, helping propel Season 1 to Netflix\u2019s Top 10 Most Popular English Series list. The series\u2019 viewership has slipped in subsequent installments,<\/a> informing the decision to end the series with Season 4.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNetflix<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is unclear whether Rose was written into Season 4 before or after the decision about sunsetting The Night Agent was made by Netflix in early May<\/a>, after production had already started. The character was not referenced in any descriptions for the new Season 4 roles during the casting process. The main cast additions<\/a> in the final season include Titus Welliver as a DOJ prosecutor, Trevante Rhodes as Peter\u2019s new partner \u2014 the part Rose played unofficially as a civilian in Season 2 \u2014 Li Jun Li as the partner\u2019s wife and Elizabeth Lail as Peter\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e9e Zoe.<\/p>\n

\n\tRegardless of the extent of Rose\u2019s presence, fans are hoping for her and Peter to get a happy ending the way George Clooney\u2019s ER return for Julianna Margulies\u2019 final episode gave their characters Doug and Carol a happily ever after. <\/p>\n

\n\tBasso thinks Peter and Rose are endgame too. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe still loves Rose,\u201d Basso said in February<\/a> when asked by Deadline why Peter has sworn off romance after breaking up with Rose to keep her safe. \u201cI think he wants a relationship, but at this point in his life and how important he sees this job and rooting out corruption and doing the right thing, I think that ultimately is more important to him than having a relationship. But I think if anyone, he would probably try to find Rose again and track her down and see what happens with that.\u201d <\/p>\n
