The Night Agent season 2: What will happen?

The first season ended in such a way where there are plenty of new avenues the show could go in, even despite it having been based on a one-off book, as Peter sets off on a new mission having seemingly been appointed as a Night Action agent.

Speaking with Netflix TUDUM, showrunner Shawn Ryan previously said that the team would "love to tell" the story of what happens to Peter and Rose following the end of season 1, adding: "If viewers react to the show the way that we hope they will, and if people come and check it out."

Ryan said these were the big questions a second season would be dealing with: "What does Peter getting on this plane to enter into some new wild adventure mean — with Rose going back to California to try to pursue her Silicon Valley dreams again? And where would that lead them?"

The official synopsis for season 2 says: "Peter’s efforts to save the president were successful, and now he’s earned the opportunity to become a Night Agent. Working in the secretive organisation Night Action in season 2 will push Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply."
