NETFLIX fans raved ‘it’s about time’ as a record-breaking show confirmed it’s return to screens.
When it first hit the platform – the first season of the show garnered an incredible 812 million hours of viewership between March 23 and the end of June.
This immense success has clearly prompted Netflix to bring it back, making it their biggest hit to date.
The streaming giant confirmed that season two of The Night Agent is in production.
In an Instagram and Twitter post, Netflix hinted at the start of filming with a photo of actor, Gabriel Basso, who plays FBI Agent Peter Sutherland.
In an exciting Instagram post, he held up a clapperboard to announce the start of series two, episode one, playfully scolding the camera.
The next slide showcased a thrilling video of Gabriel soaring in a helicopter, taking in the breathtaking cityscape.
Fans were eagerly anticipating the next installment after binge-watching the first season, which was released in March last year.
The 10-part action-thriller is based on the novel by Matthew Quirk – and introduces us to low-ranking FBI agent Peter (Gabriel Basso), who works in the gloomy basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings.
But everything changes one night when Peter receives a call that lifts the lid on a conspiracy that points to a Russian mole at the highest levels of the US government.
Fans erupted with joy and flooded social media platform, X/Twitter to express their excitement.
