The Evolution of Peter Sutherland in The Night Agent

Based on Basso, Peter Sutherland has hugely developed since the first season. Initially, Peter was reactive and was more of getting into situations that he could not control. Later, in The Night Agent Season 2, he becomes proactive, making deliberate choices to get things done.

Basso said:

"..In Season 1, he was very reactive. Everything was happening to him and to Rose. He was running for his life. He was less trying to figure something out and more reacting to things that were happening. And in Season 2, he’s pursuing an end goal."

As the series unfolds, Peter's struggles become more personal. Basso said that while The Night Agent Season 1 was about external threats, Season 3 will be about internal conflicts that Peter and his relationships with others face. He said:

"What’s at stake, the more the seasons go on, is the souls of the people involved. You’ve invested time in all these people, and now you’re seeing the consequences of the decisions they’ve made that you’ve been there for."

High-stakes and complex relationships

Basso pointed out that The Night Agent Season 3 will make Peter face even bigger stakes. The guy said:

"It’s not a cold reset every season with, 'And this season, Peter saves this diplomat.' The throughline is there and they’re testing Peter more and more. They’re putting him through the meat grinder, as opposed to, 'Oh, people really love the fact he was heroic. Let’s have him be a hero again.' It’s cool."

The situation might get too heated and force Peter out of his morals. Peter and Rose's relationship further changes as the pressures of their responsibilities force them through it.

The romance is deepened by the complications of real issues that soldiers and agents have to face. Basso agreed that their relationship was challenged by Peter's obligation to his country and the dangers surrounding it. He said:

"There’s the duty that Peter has to his country and what he swore to. He’s a man with an objective in life. Their relationship in Season 1 was by circumstance. I’m not sure they ever would have met outside of him doing his job and her sticking with him when she didn’t have to. "

"So, I think now that they have a chance to look at their relationship objectively and what that means for both of them, there’s the reality of responsibility, of love, of loyalty to one another, but then the reality of, if they find out who she is, her life is at risk."

"This is a collaborative art medium. To see something like this show be successful, after so many people have put so many hours into it, it’s just a really cool experience," he said .

He is devoted to the role, immersing himself in the character's journey. As filming for Season 3 continues alongside the release of The Night Agent Season 2, Basso expressed mixed feelings about audience reactions.

He hopes that viewers will respond positively to The Night Agent Season 2 while acknowledging that their feedback could impact his morale during production.

"It could crush me completely while we’re shooting and make me not wanna make the show. I’m glad people like it enough for Netflix to greenlight it before Season 2 is even out."
