Netflix has set a March 23 premiere date and released a teaser trailer and first-look images for The Night Agent, based on Matthew Quirk's 2019 novel, Deadline reported. Created and showrun by Shawn Ryan (S.W.A.T., The Shield), the 10-episode series stars Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, Sarah Desjardins, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Eve Harlow, Enrique Murciano Phoenix Raei and DB Woodside.
Deadline noted that when Ryan "announced that he was adapting the show in late 2020, he was discussing some of the favorite books he'd read that lockdown year. He listed The Night Agent in the category of 'Books I Read, Decided to Adapt for Television and May Have Already Finished Writing the Pilot Episode.' Netflix ordered The Night Agent to series seven months later."
