New Netflix spy thriller The Night Agent has been storming up the streamer’s viewing charts, becoming one of its biggest English-language debuts ever. However, according to a new Deadline report, the series almost ended up elsewhere.
It was created by The Shield’s Shawn Ryan, who originally wrote the pilot for the series based on Matthew Quirk’s novel two years ago. His initial pitch featured both the main Rose and Peter storyline, as well as introducing a subplot involving the Vice President’s daughter.
