The Night Agent star Gabriel Basso speaks about show's success shortly before season 2's arrival: Reports

Netflix is set to release the season 2 of The Night Agent, bringing back Gabriel Basso in the leading role of Peter Sutherland. The story started with Peter receiving an unusual but low-profile position in the White House which ultimately exposed him to a conspiracy.

As seen in The Night Agent Season 1, Peter must closely monitor a special emergency phone line that hardly rings. However, everything changes when it rings. When Peter answers a call, he ends up in a dangerous and complex web of secrets.

The series is packed with action, suspense, and political drama, which has earned him the seventh spot among the most-watched English TV shows on Netflix. Season 1 concluded with Peter officially stepping into the role of a night agent, and now fans are awaiting the second chapter to arrive on January 23, 2025.

As season 2 is fast approaching, Gabriel Basso sat in an interview with GamesRadar+ and shared his thoughts on the immense popularity of the Netflix series. The actor said:

"There is an awareness of how big the show is but I wouldn't say it's a pressure that makes you nervous. At least not for me."

He continued:

"I’m not saying that I'm relaxed all the time, it’s more that it’s so many people you can’t even wrap your head around it, holding yourself accountable to hundreds of thousands of people, it's just kind of ridiculous."

While Basso is aware of the popularity The Night Agent Season 1 has gained, this achievement doesn't make him nervous. Now that Peter and Rose (Luciane Buchanan) will take center stage for a new conspiracy, it would be intriguing to watch the two join forces.
