The first time the White House basement phone rang, The Night Agent announced exactly what it was: lean, urgent, and built for momentum. What began with Peter Sutherland guarding a line that never rang quickly evolved into one of Netflix’s most reliable thriller franchises. By the time Peter was sprinting through D.C. alleys, dodging assassins and conspiracy architects, the show had quietly cemented itself as Netflix’s dependable, pulse-quickening staple.

Three seasons in, the machine is already humming toward a fourth. Even before Season 3 had fully settled into viewers’ queues, whispers of Season 4 began surfacing. The newest revelation? A potential shift westward.

When asked about Season 4’s direction by NetflixLife, Gabriel Basso kept it candid. 

“I have no idea, dude. I’m so sorry. They haven’t told me anything. I know we might be shooting in LA, but yeah, we’ll see.” 

It was not a spoiler-laden confession, more a shrug from an actor clearly still outside the classified loop. Still, the Los Angeles mention is telling. A relocation from Washington, D.C.’s marble corridors to the sprawling unpredictability of L.A. would mark a tonal pivot for the series.

Prior to Season 3’s release, Basso spoke with Netflix Life about Peter’s emotional headspace. He described a man increasingly aware of the moral compromises required in his line of work. With Rose absent for much of Season 3’s arc, Peter’s isolation intensifies, a thematic return to that silent basement phone. Basso also offered a mild teaser about Season 4, suggesting there’s room to explore Peter’s evolution beyond reactive survival and into proactive agency. That growth could pair intriguingly with a new geographic backdrop.

So what should fans expect next? Season 3 has already lured fans right in, so Season 4 may follow reinvention. And reinvention, in espionage storytelling, often demands new terrain.

The Night Agent Season 3 deepened Peter’s entanglement within the Night Action program, forcing him to confront internal corruption while navigating fractured alliances. Rose’s absence reshaped the emotional landscape, pushing Peter into a more solitary operational mode. The season’s closing movements suggested expanded threats beyond D.C., hinting that Night Action’s reach, and its vulnerabilities extend nationwide.

A potential Los Angeles setting could widen that canvas dramatically. L.A.’s fusion of tech empires, political fundraisers, defense contractors, and entertainment power players offers fertile ground for conspiracy storytelling. If Peter transitions from reactive field agent to strategic operative, Season 4 might explore power structures rather than just infiltrating them. Characters like Rose could re-enter the frame in ways that challenge Peter’s increasingly hardened worldview, while new antagonists might operate at corporate or transnational levels.

For a series that began with a single ringing phone, the scale has expanded astonishingly fast. Whether Season 4 plants its flag in Los Angeles or elsewhere, The Night Agent has proven it knows how to escalate without losing its human core.
