Several theories provide potential scenarios that could unfold inThe Night Agentwhen its second season begins. Adapted from Matthew Quirk’s novel of the same name,The Night Agentfocuses on Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent who uncovers a conspiracy in the White House.The Night Agentseason 1 didn’t exactly endon a cliffhanger, but there are still some unresolved storylines that season 2 could delve into.
The series ended withPeter and Rose uncovering who the traitor was, which makes the plotline for the upcoming season 2 unclear.SinceThe Night Agentseason 1 used all the source material in Matthew Quirk’s novel, season 2 will have to come up with new challenges for Peter and company to deal with. Because it’ll naturally deviate from the source material, that should give the show’s creators an opportunity to elevate the story.
Rose’s New Role
10
InThe Night Agentseason 1, Rose and Peter met because of her involvement in the case due to her aunt and uncle. Since they managed to solve the case, it’s unclear what Rose’s role in the sophomore season might be. However, if she and Peter are going to work together again inThe Night Agentseason 2, then she’ll need a good reason for being part of whatever he’ll be investigating.
While Peter goes on to investigate international crimes, Rose could stay and help the government solve cyber crimes.
Unlike Peter, Rose isn’t trained as an FBI agent. The best explanation for Rose and Peter working together again is if she gets hired by the government.Given her experience as a cyber security expert, it wouldn’t be surprising if that were to be her new role. While Peter goes on to investigate international crimes, Rose could stay and help the government solve cyber crimes. She could also use her expertise in cyber security to help Peter with his investigations.
9Rose Will Have A New Storyline That Doesn’t Involve Peter
Rose’s Solo Mission: A New Chapter
One of the best things aboutThe Night Agentwas Rose and Peter’s relationship.However, their relationship might not be at the center of the second season. At the beginning ofThe Night Agentseason 1, it was revealed that Rose used to be the CEO of a tech company but was fired by her board after a data breach that cost the company their clients.
The Night Agentseason 2 could focus on Rose rebuilding her life with her relationship with Peter taking a backseat.Since Peter will be working on international crimes, it leaves little room for him and Rose to always be together which is why she’ll need a new storyline.It’s possible that she might start a new cyber security company with the government being one of her clients. Or she might invest her time in finding out why Adam decided to betray her and steal her company.
8Peter’s Father Is Still Alive
A Twist Ending?
Peter Sutherland, Sr. was a significant part of Peter’s backstory inThe Night Agent.He served as the driving force for Peter because he believed the man he knew was innocent and wanted to clear his name since he died with the whole country believing he committed treason. However, the final episode revealed that Peter’s dad was indeed a traitor, which ultimately changed how his son viewed him.
That being said, there is a possibility that his father didn’t actually die in the car accident.
Given that he was viewed as a traitor, his father could have faked his death and gone into hiding.The government had given him the option of either spying on the people who had hired him to steal government information or go to prison. If the people he was working for discovered that he had become a spy, they would have likely killed him. Peter’s dad being alive isn’t a far-fetched theory since there is a lot that even his son doesn’t know about.
7Gordon Wick Might Be The Villain In The Night Agent Season 2
Wick’s Wicked Plan: A Villainous Return?
Peter had a fair number of people who wanted him to fail and Gordon Wick was one of them.Wick, a billionaire in charge of running the conspiracy, was the one who hired Ellen and Dale to kill Rose and all the people who were standing in the way of his plans. While characters like Vice President Redfield and Diane Farr were caught, Wick escaped in the season finale.
10 Things That Need To Happen In The Night Agent Season 2
As anticipation for The Night Agent season 2 grows there’s great speculation about what it will be about, and certain plots that must appear.
Although Wick was a villain inThe Night Agent, he wasn’t exactly the main antagonist despite being the one pulling the strings.However, that could change inThe Night Agentseason 2. Wick could return to exact revenge on Peter for foiling his plans, or come up with another way to gain more power. Each possibility makes him the character that Peter will have to go against in season 2.
6Peter Will Work On International Cases
Global Espionage: Peter’s International Adventures
In the finale ofThe Night Agent, Peter got on a plane to begin his mission as a Night Agent.The trailer ofThe Night Agentseason 2 showed him in different locations including Thailand. However, what he’ll be doing in these foreign countries is still a mystery. Given his special skills, Peter’s international assignments might involve stopping more conspiracies. On the other hand, he could be investigating what his father was accused of doing.
He not only stopped the metro bombing in season 1, but he uncovered a conspiracy involving the top people in the government.
His new role as a Night Agent aptly fits in with Peter’s skills.He not only stopped the metro bombing in season 1, but he uncovered a conspiracy involving the top people in the government. However, it’s still unclear if he will be a spy or an investigator in his new job. Now that he saved the president and she is indebted to him, Peter will likely have to work on projects that other spies in the government are not privy to.
5Adam Might Be Part Of The Night Agent Season 2’s Cast
Adam’s Alliance: A New Recruit?
When Peter left Washington to go and work on a top secret mission, Rose remained behind and decided to head back to California.The Night Agentrevealed that the person behind the cyber attack at Rose’s company was Adam, her partner. With Rose going back to California, she will have to deal with what happened at her company and why Adam betrayed her.
Given their past history and the fact that Adam is a huge part of Rose’s backstory, he might be a new addition toThe Night Agent’s cast.It’s also likely that Adam might be the reason Rose and Peter work together again if his cyber security crime extends to other areas, like stealing top secret government information. The crisis at Rose’s company and Adam’s involvement could have also paved the way forThe Night Agentseason 2’s storyline.
4Characters Will Be Killed Off In The Night Agent Season 2
Deadly Consequences: A Fateful Season
TheNight Agentseason 1 had a trendof killing off characters.While some of them were not particularly important to the plot, the show wasn’t shy about killing off characters that seemed like they would be there until the end of the series. Hawkins, Cisco, and Monks were some of the important characters that were killed off in the first season.
Since this trend is what made the stakes inThe Night Agenthigher, it’s likely that the second season will use the same method, especially because the series is an anthology.This makes it more likely that some characters will have to die in order for a new cast to be introduced inThe Night Agentseason 3.If no characters who are an important part of the plot are killed off in season 2, then it will likely not be as exciting as the first season. It’s important that no character is safe in the sophomore season as that could add an element of suspense to the show.
3Peter Sutherland Senior Could Be The Villain In The Night Agent Season 2
Family Feud: A Father’s Betrayal?
Ifthe theory that Peter Sutherland senior is aliveinThe Night Agentis correct, then he is perfectly primed to be the villain.Given that not much is known about him except what he’s son reveals in season 1, it’s probable that he is in fact a bad guy. While Peter viewed him as the perfect father, there might be more to him that he didn’t. Since Peter senior already betrayed his country, there’s nothing stopping him from doing so.
The government put him between a rock and a hard place since he had to make an impossible choice which resulted in him not being there for his son. This inevitably means that he can be holding a grudge and wants to seek revenge against the people who hurt him. However, if he is indeed a villain, then his relationship with Peter will become more complicated if they have a confrontation. Peter senior was a beacon of light for his son, if it’s revealed that he is a villain, it will irrevocably change their relationship.
