How to watch

The Night Agent follows Peter Sutherland, a low-level FBI agent whose job is to sit by a phone that's meant to stay silent — until it rings, drawing him into a sprawling conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Fast-paced and full of twists, it became one of Netflix's biggest hits.

Based on Matthew Quirk's novel, The Night Agent exploded onto Netflix to become one of the platform's most-watched titles ever, quickly earning a multi-season renewal. Its formula of a resourceful everyman caught in a fast-moving conspiracy channels classic action-thriller energy, with each season sending Peter Sutherland into a new high-stakes assignment.
