Netflix is cooking up a new drama series that’s taking over the streets of Vancouver! The Night Agent is an upcoming limited series chock full of intrigue, action and a stellar cast.

Based on the novel by the same name by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is about a lowly FBI agent, Peter Sutherland, with a dud gig. He’s responsible for answering a phone that never rings. Until the night that it does and he suddenly finds himself in a dangerous conspiracy that has ties to the Oval Office.

An encounter with a young tech CEO, Rose Larkin, who was laying low at her aunt and uncle’s place after burning out, Sutherland finds himself on the run from assassins. The further they run, the more questions and dangers they encounter.

By all accounts this is an extremely well-written series with a smart plot, full of unexpected twists and connections. The characters are fleshed out and relatable. The story is intriguing and gripping. And the action sequences are of the same caliber as some of our favourite action flicks.

When showrunner, Shawn Ryan, cast his leads the internet erupted. Gabriel Basso of Hillbilly Elegy has been cast as Peter Sutherland. Luciane Buchanan will be playing opposite of Basso in the role of Rose Larkin. She comes fresh off the success of Sweet Tooth.

The Night Agent is currently shooting in Vancouver and is aiming for a mid-2022 release but an early 2023 date seems much more likely as the production still has a fair bit of filming to do in DC. Stay tuned for more information in the coming month.
