“We’re so excited that our fans will get to watch season 2 of The Night Agent in early 2025, and we’ve been hard at work writing season 3 to deliver more breathless Peter Sutherland Night Action adventures to our rabid audience,” series creator Shawn Ryan said to Netflix’s Tudum.

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.

Netflix’s most popular show right now is causing a war of words. What’s the deal?

Two brothers sit on the couch in Monsters.

It's a war of words between the Menendez brothers and the cast of Ryan Murphy's Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Over the weekend, Erik Menendez slammed Murphy's new series in a statement posted to his wife Tammi Menendez's X (formerly Twitter) account.
“I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show. I can only believe they were done so on purpose," Menendez wrote in his statement. "It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naïve and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent."

One of the most popular cult classic movies ever just turned 20. Here’s why it’s still a blast

A zombie sits in a car in Shaun of the Dead.

Horror and comedy fans alike are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of Shaun of the Dead. Directed by Edgar Wright, this modern classic follows Simon Pegg's (Star Trek) thirtysomething slacker, who must take charge of his life in order to stay alive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. The film also stars notable British actors like Nick Frost (The World's End), Kate Ashfield (Born to Kill), Lucy Davis (The Office), Dylan Moran (Black Books), Bill Nighy (The First Omen), Penelope Wilton (The BFG), and Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy).

A lot of talent is on display in this film, which continues to entertain and inspire fans two decades after its premiere. There are many reasons why Shaun of the Dead remains ahead of its time, and what better way to celebrate this horror-comedy classic than to examine why its appeal lives on to this day?
