Could The Night Agent Continue Without Gabriel Basso? The Actor And Showrunner Share Their Honest Thoughts

The Night Agent quickly cemented itself as one of the best shows to binge watch on Netflix when its first season was released in March 2023. Now those with a Netflix subscription are just a few days away from the action thriller series returning for Season 2, with Gabriel Basso reprising lead protagonist Peter Sutherland. But could The Night Agent continue if Basso was no longer front and center? Both the actor, as well as showrunner Shawn Ryan, had to say on the topic.

What Gabriel Basso Said

In an extensive Variety profile covering his professional work and personal life, Gabriel Basso said that that while he’s currently “doing acting to the best of my ability,” he also doesn’t “feel like a productive part of society.” In fact, later on in the piece, he claimed he would eventually walk away from the entertainment industry, and when the interviewer asked if this would be in five or 10 years, the actor answered:

It’ll be sooner than that. The monopoly of youth is energy, and I think that I have to convert that into service in order to be legitimate as a person.
