The Night Agent: how the first season ended and what to expect from chapter 2
Just a month after the reconfirmation of The Night Agent for a chapter number 2, Gabriel Basso, the great protagonist of the series, gave an interview on EW where he revealed some small details about the new season and the implications of his character Peter Sutherland. But let’s take a small step back to remind ourselves how the series ended.
(SPOILER WARNING!)
The Night Agent ending explained
Peter and Rose manage to foil the attempt on the life of the President of the United States and Peter, thanks to this coup, makes a nice career advancement going from telephone operator to night agent. Furthermore, at the end of the first season, Peter will discover the truth about his father, namely that, unfortunately, he was one of the villains and not the hero he always believed him to be. And the relationship with Rose? She is now his girlfriend and will go to California to reopen her company while waiting for Peter to return from his next secret mission.
The first theories on the plot of the second season
But let’s go back to The Night Agent 2. When asked how the truth about his father, discovered by Peter in the finale of The Night Agent, could influence Peter’s storyline in chapter two of the series, Basso specified that he would like to see Peter face the people who killed his father depriving him of the possibility of justice and seek a certain type of revenge.
“Tying the concept of revenge to what he knows he has to do could be nice,” Basso admitted. “You’ll see a lot more internal turbulence from Peter.” And then there is the relationship with Rose which will undoubtedly undergo full of joys but also of changes and difficulties.
“Would Peter involve Rose in this new and risky life as a night agent or would he keep her out so as not to put her at risk? Selfishly, I’m sure he would want her around him, but it would be dangerous. You have to think a lot about what it means to have that job and be that person who can abandon everything and leave, you can have things, like family, that most people would like to have,” Gabriel finally added.
