The Night Agent Season 3 has now completed filming, and the release can occur sooner than expected. Based on various production reports, including direct statements from showrunner Shawn Ryan, filming concluded in June 2025 after eight months of production. This information was officially made public in mid-July by various industry sources such as What's on Netflix.
Although Netflix has not set a release date, timelines right now indicate the third season should arrive in early 2026. This represents a change from the gap between the first and second seasons. The first and second seasons had almost a two-year hiatus, but the latest news indicates a quicker turnaround.
With production wrapped, the show enters post-production, and a complete release schedule will be determined later this year. Below is all that's currently known about production status, anticipated release timing, and confirmed cast information.
Filming for The Night Agent Season 3 occurred across multiple countries in a longer shooting schedule
Season 3 production started filming in November 2024, beginning with locations in Istanbul, Turkey. The production later moved across various international cities in 2025, including New York City, Washington D.C., Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Shawn Ryan explained in interviews that this was the most global production to date for The Night Agent.
The shoot remained mostly around eight months long, concluding by June 2025. The news outlets, such as IMDB News and Netflix Tudum, announced the wrap in mid-July 2025. It is the longest and most wide-ranging shoot so far in the series.
The third season took longer, as indicated by What's on Netflix reporting, because the shoot locations were complicated and the series had a broader scope. The earlier seasons primarily remained within the United States, but Season 3 included on-location filming in various nations.
Post-production is underway, with an early 2026 release expected
Once shooting was over in June 2025, post-production started right away. This involves editing, scoring, sound mixing, and visual effects. Following the schedules of previous seasons, this process takes five to six months. Season 2, for instance, finished filming around mid-2024 and started in January 2025.
That being the case, The Night Agent Season 3 might appear on Netflix between January and March 2026. The production unit got an early start as Netflix picked up the show before Season 2 went on the air. This meant writing and pre-production could commence much earlier, reducing the gap between seasons.
Returning main cast with new additions
Gabriel Basso reprises his role as Peter Sutherland in The Night Agent Season 3, reprising his lead role from the previous two seasons. Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ward Horton, and Albert Jones are also set to return. This was revealed by Netflix Tudum and What's on Netflix. Some new characters have entered the cast.
Jennifer Morrison, Stephen Moyer, Genesis Rodriguez, Callum Vinson, David Lyons, Chibuikem Uche, and Michael Masini will feature in Season 3. This was initially revealed through Netflix's official reports and afterwards confirmed by various entertainment websites.
Luciane Buchanan's reprisal as Rose is not confirmed. Digital Spy has reported that there has been no official news regarding her participation in season three. The third season's casting brings some new faces to the series but keeps the core story grounded through its returning cast.
Filming completed and post-production ongoing, The Night Agent Season 3 is poised for an early 2026 launch.
