The Night Agent is a 10-episode thriller series that follows an FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House where he's in charge of an emergency phone line that never rings. Until one day, it does.
The series is based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, and has been adapted for TV by showrunner Shawn Ryan who is known for his work on The Shield and S.W.A.T. The idea for the adaptation came after Shawn read the original book in lockdown, according to Deadline.
