Ahead of the premiere of “The Night Agent” Season 2, Genesis Rodriguez could soon be joining Season 3.
Variety has learned from sources that Rodriguez is currently in talks for a role in Season 3, which was formally ordered at Netflix back in October. Exact character details are currently under wraps.
Reps for Netflix declined to comment.
This would be the latest spy thriller show in which Rodriguez will star. She currently appears in Season 2 of the Paramount+ series “Lioness” and recently starred in the Kevin Smith feature “The 4:30 Movie.” Her other recent credits include the shows “Neon,” “The Umbrella Academy,” “Time After Time,” and “Big Hero 6: The Series,” while her film credits include “Tusk,” “Casa de mi Padre,” “Man on a Ledge,” and “Run All Night.”
She is repped by UTA, Untitled Entertainment, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
Season 2 of “The Night Agent” is set to debut on Netflix on Jan. 23. Season 1 of the show premiered in 2023 and went on to become the most watched show of that year by views (defined as total hours viewed divided by total runtime) and also the seventh most-watched English language TV show in Netflix history with 98.2 million total views.
“The Night Agent” is based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk. Per the official logline, the show centers on “low level FBI Agent , Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), whose efforts to save The President in Season 1 earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent in Season 2. But working in the secretive organization of Night Action will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.”
The series was developed for television by Shawn Ryan, who serves as showrunner and executive producer via MiddKid Productions. Marney Hochman of MiddKid also executive produces along with Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn of Exhibit A, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein and Nicole Tossou with Project X, David Beaubaire with Sunset Lane Media, Paul Bernard, Munis Rashid, and Guy Ferland. Sony Pictures Television is the studio.
