In The Night Agent, Gabriel Basso stars as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent working as a Night Action telephone operator at the White House. After receiving a mysterious call, Sutherland is thrust into a conspiracy to find a traitor within the U.S. government. Season 1 ended with Peter becoming a Night Agent spy and leaving on a private jet for his first mission. Season 2 will follow Peter’s exploits as a spy and the dangerous mission he embarks on overseas.

Basso returns for season 2 along with Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin, a former tech CEO and Peter’s love interest. New cast members include Amanda Warren, Berto Colon, Louis Herthum, Arienne Mandi, Michael Malarkey, Keon Alexander, Brittany Snow, Teddy Sears, Elise Kibler, and Dikran Tulaine.

Based on Matthew Quirk’s novel, The Night Agent was developed for television by Shawn Ryan (The Shield, S.W.A.T.), who continues to serve as showrunner and executive producer. Season 1 premiered in March 2023 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular TV shows. The Night Agent season 1 is the seventh-most popular English-language show on Netflix.

Marvel’s What If…? season 3 trailer: Storm, the Goddess of Thunder highlights final episodes

Red Guardians and Winter Solder leap together and punch.

Get ready for one final ride with alternate versions of the MCU in the trailer for What If…? season 3.
Marvel Animation’s What If…? will end after its upcoming third season, consisting of eight episodes. The biggest reveal features the arrival of Mjolnir-wielding Storm, the Goddess of Thunder, voiced by X-Men ’97‘s Alison Sealy-Smith. Other noteworthy moments include a Howard the Duck-Darcy Lewis team-up and the new Avengers joining to form a giant robot like the Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Besides Storm, confirmed characters in What If…? season 3 include Captain America/Sam Wilson, The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes, Hulk/Bruce Banner, The Red Guardian, Captain Peggy Carter, Agatha Harkness, and Shang-Chi. Jeffrey Wright continues to narrate the series as the Watcher.

What If…? presents alternate accounts of famous MCU events. For example, the first episode depicts Peggy Carter, not Steve Rogers, as the First Avenger. Other famous episodes include T'Challa as Star-Lord, Ultron winning the war, Kilmonger rescuing Tony Stark, Thor growing up without Loki, and the Avengers assembling in 1602.
