According to Deadline, Genesis Rodriguez (Rival, Unbreak My Heart), most known for her role as Josephina Carillo in Special Ops: Lioness, is joining The Night Agent cast for season three. Netflix representatives declined to comment. Although no details describe who she will play, it is confirmed she will be a regular character in the conspiracy thriller. Season three was renewed in October, and production will begin in Istanbul by the end of this year. It will be followed by a New York shoot in 2025.
The Night Agent is New York Times best-seller adaptation written by Matthew Quirk (Dead Man Switch, The 500), and its first season ranks number seven on Netflix’s Most Popular Chart. Via Deadline, the logline is as follows as they show: “FBI’s Peter Sutherland (Basso) manning a phone in the basement of the White House that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office.”
Creator, executive producer and showrunner Shawn Ryan (The Shield, S.W.A.T.) discussed that each season will have a self-contained story for new characters and plot. The first season was set in Washington, D.C., and filmed in Vancouver. The second season began production in New York and was further developed in Thailand and Washington, D.C.
The show is produced by Sony Pictures Television and executively produced by Seth Gordon (Atypical, Identity Thief) and Julia Gunn (The Lost City, United We Fall) for Exhibit A, Marney Hochman (Timeless, The Last Resort) and Ryan for MiddKid Productions, Paul Neinsteinn (Fountain of Youth, Abigail), James Vanderbilt (White House Down, Ready or Not), William Sherak (I Hate Valentine’s Day, Daddy Day Camp) and Nicole Tossou (The Worst Best Man) for Project X, David Beaubaire (Fatherhood, Blade Runner 2049) for Sunset Lane Media and Munis Rashid (Bobo, S.W.A.T.).
