Major spoilers for Netflix’s The Night Agent are present in the following story, so read at your own risk.
One of the latest releases on Netflix’s 2023 TV schedule, The Night Agent has become a runaway hit for the streamer. As we speak, the milestone-reaching political thriller is still high on the platform’s trending list, and a second season is already on the way. Much of the show’s success can be credited to its creator and EP, Shawn Ryan, who’s best known for creating The Shield, S.W.A.T. and other notable law enforcement dramas. The veteran producer spins an intriguing yarn with his adaptation of Matthew Quirk’s 2019 novel of the same name – one that included some major character deaths. Interestingly enough, Ryan has now revealed that one demise almost played out differently.
