Speaking to Netflix, director Shawn Ryan spoke about the character of Peter Sutherland.

“He’s definitely flawed. He doesn’t always make the right decision,” Ryan says, reflecting on Peter’s character throughout the series. Peter desperately wants to do the right thing, wants the best for the most people, but the line of work he’s in demands that you don’t always get to choose between right and wrong, sometimes you have to choose between wrong and bigger wrong.”

He further spoke about the new season.

“[It is] an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride across Istanbul, Mexico City, Washington, New York, and the Dominican Republic.”

The executive producers of The Night Agent include Shawn Ryan, Seth Gordon, Marney Hochman, Julia Gunn, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, Nicole Tossou, David Beaubaire, Munis Rashid, Paul Bernard, Guy Ferland, and Seth Fisher.
