Here are some crucial incidents that happened in The Night Agent season 2

Season 2 finale set up the foundation for Peter's another journey in season 2, which is set to release in February 2026. Before you watch the new season, let's recall what happened in season 2 of The Night Agent.

Pater, who initially believes that someone with Night Action betrayed him and Alice, especially when Alice gets killed in Thailand, season 2 reveals that Alice's death wasn't caused by a mole leaving the Night Action intel. Alice's death was a result of a much bigger, external conspiracy involving the CIA, a foreign general, and a political power play within the four walls of White House.

The plot is season 2 revolved around Project Foxglove, a secretive, unethical program. It was a covert CIA initiative aimed at developing multiple chemical weapons and then storing them to create antidotes. What made this project scarier is that it also included the lethal chemical agent KX.

Meanwhile, Peter teams up with Rose Larkin and Noor Taheri to stop the KX bioterror attack planned in New York City. The Iranian mission helps Rose and Noor gather intel, but Peter is pulled into the intelligence underworld. This way, all three characters start to operate in different but connected lanes, and eventually their efforts converge at the UN, where the planned KX attack is thwarted. Peter and Rose track Markus to the Wynnfield Hotel, take him down, and disable the KX weapon.

In one of the painful moments in The Night Agent, Peter and Rose broke up while Peter told her that she must stop looking for him. Peter does so because he believes keeping Rose with him will put her in danger as well. Moreover, Peter's enemy might use Rose as leverage and demand things in return from Peter, blackmailing him emotionally.

Here is how The Night Agent season 2 ends

Rose has returned to California and earned a promotion. She deeply cares about Peter but is focusing on rebuilding her new life. She meets Noor in the library. Noor has been granted asylum in the US and lives in Illinois with her mother. Even she is now applying for new jobs and also considering studying further.

Javed, on the other hand, has become a major antagonist in the show. He ends up kidnapping Peter and threatens Noor in episode 8 of the season. In the next episode, he is neutralised by Ambassador Abbas, which implies that Javed is now over professionally and politically as well.

Season 2 reveals what's cooking in the White House. Monroe, along with the president, is planning to make the other presidential candidate drop out. Monroe puts forth a secret recording tying Knox to Project Foxglove, and this will leave Governor Hagan to win. However, the finale is full of twists. Hagan doesn't believe that he is anyone's puppet. He pushed back against Monroe, and this is how season 2 also raises questions: Who is the real Big Bad? Is it Monroe, Hagan, or both?
