From Istanbul rooftops to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., Peter Sutherland is back — and he’s not alone.

Gabriel Basso Returns as Peter Sutherland
At the center of it all is Gabriel Basso, who continues his run as FBI agent Peter Sutherland. Now in his third season, Basso brings a noticeably darker, more conflicted version of Peter to the screen. Coming off the events of Season 2, Peter is haunted by guilt and desperate to bring down intelligence broker Jacob Monroe. His newest mission sends him chasing a young Treasury agent who has fled to Istanbul after killing his own boss and walking off with sensitive government intel.
What makes Season 3 feel different is Peter’s internal struggle. He’s not just outrunning assassins — he’s questioning whether his methods are any better than the people he’s hunting. Showrunner Shawn Ryan, who created the series and previously helmed The Shield, has described Peter as someone who “doesn’t always make the right decision” and is constantly forced to choose between “wrong and bigger wrong.” That moral weight gives Basso plenty to work with, and he delivers.
Returning Cast Members Bring Continuity to the Story
Several familiar faces are back for Season 3. Amanda Warren returns as Catherine Weaver, Peter’s handler and a steady presence throughout the series. Louis Herthum is back as Jacob Monroe, the shadowy intelligence broker who has emerged as one of the show’s most compelling villains. Fola Evans-Akingbola reprises her role as Chelsea Arrington, Ward Horton returns as President Richard Hagan, and Albert Jones is back as Aiden Mosley. Both Evans-Akingbola and Jones have been elevated to series regulars this season, giving their characters significantly more screen time and story weight.
The Biggest Departure: Luciane Buchanan Is Out as Rose Larkin
If you were hoping to see Rose Larkin back in Peter’s orbit, you’re out of luck. Luciane Buchanan, who played Rose across Seasons 1 and 2, does not return for Season 3. Buchanan announced her departure in September 2025, and the show has moved forward without her character. Rose’s absence is felt early in the season — she was a major emotional anchor for the series — but the writers have worked to fill that space with new dynamics and a compelling new female lead.
Genesis Rodriguez Steps In as the New Female Lead
Genesis Rodriguez joins the Night Agent Season 3 cast as Isabel De Leon, a journalist working for The Financial Register. Isabel isn’t a romantic interest for Peter — the show sidesteps that familiar formula entirely — but she becomes his unlikely partner as her own investigation into a dark money network collides with his mission. Rodriguez brings energy and intelligence to the role, and Isabel quickly becomes one of the most watchable new additions to the show. Rodriguez is best known to American audiences from her work in Run All Night, Big Hero 6, and Man on a Ledge.
Suraj Sharma Plays Jay Batra, the Man Peter Is Chasing
Suraj Sharma takes on one of the most pivotal new roles in Season 3 as Jay Batra, the young Treasury agent at the heart of Peter’s mission. Jay is not simply a villain — his motivations are layered, and the show takes time to explore what drove him to steal classified intel and run. Sharma is no stranger to high-pressure performances. He starred in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi, appeared in Homeland, and most recently had a main cast role in Hulu’s How I Met Your Father. His addition to the cast brings credibility and nuance to what could have been a straightforward antagonist.
Stephen Moyer Plays a Mysterious Assassin Known as The Father
One of the most intriguing new additions to the Season 3 cast is Stephen Moyer, who plays a character referred to only as “The Father.” He’s a paid assassin working for Jacob Monroe with a deeply disturbing backstory: he kidnapped a child as a baby after killing the child’s parents and raised him as his own son. That son, played by Callum Vinson, factors into the season’s emotional core in ways that grow more complicated as episodes unfold. Moyer is best known in the U.S. for playing vampire Bill Compton in HBO’s True Blood, and his cold, controlled performance here is a strong reminder of his range.
Jennifer Morrison Joins the Season 3 Lineup
Jennifer Morrison, familiar to audiences from House M.D. and Once Upon a Time, also joins the cast this season. Her character intersects with the broader conspiracy surrounding the dark money network at the center of the season’s plot. Morrison’s casting adds another layer of recognizable talent to an already stacked ensemble.
Marwan Kenzari and David Lyons Round Out the New Additions
Marwan Kenzari, who gained widespread international attention for his role in Disney’s Aladdin as Jafar, is another notable addition to the Season 3 cast. David Lyons, known for his work in The Cape and Salem, also joins this season. Both actors bring an international scope to a season that is deliberately set across multiple global locations, including Istanbul, Mexico City, New York, Washington, D.C., and the Dominican Republic.
A Global Scale That Changes the Show’s Feel
Creator Shawn Ryan has been open about his ambition for Season 3, calling it “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride” across five countries. That global expansion is visible from the first episode. The show no longer feels tethered to Washington corridors — it breathes differently, moves faster, and the production quality reflects what Netflix has invested in keeping this one of its flagship series. For American viewers who loved the tight, contained tension of Season 1, Season 3 is a deliberate evolution rather than a departure.
Why the Cast Changes Work in the Show’s Favor
Every season of The Night Agent has rotated much of its supporting cast, which keeps the storytelling fresh and prevents the series from becoming predictable. The loss of Luciane Buchanan stings, but Genesis Rodriguez and Suraj Sharma fill the narrative space with characters who feel fully realized rather than transplanted. The series regulars — Basso, Evans-Akingbola, Jones, Herthum, Warren, and Horton — provide a solid backbone, while the new additions push Peter into unfamiliar emotional and physical territory.
Season 3 is streaming now on Netflix. All episodes are available, meaning there’s nothing stopping you from watching the entire season this weekend.
