The Night Agent Season 3 arrived on Netflix on February 19, 2026, and the new episodes take Peter Sutherland on his most personal journey yet. The season ends with the FBI agent finally finding peace, but hints about what comes next are already surfacing from the show’s creator.
The third season throws Peter into a complicated web involving a plane crash, a missing Treasury analyst, and a conspiracy that reaches the White House. Unlike previous seasons where Peter had his partner Rose by his side, this time he works alone for most of the missions. The season introduces several new characters including journalist Isabel De Leon, hitman known as “The Father,” and First Lady Jenny Hagan, who plays a bigger role in the corruption than anyone expected .
What Happens to Peter Sutherland in the Season 3 Finale?
The final episodes of Season 3 put Peter through emotional and physical wringer. After helping expose President Richard Hagan and his wife Jenny for their money laundering and corruption, Peter finds himself standing in Central Park. He buys an ice cream and realizes it’s a Razzmatazz—the same flavor his mother bought him as a child on a beach he has been searching for ever since .
This moment becomes significant because Peter spent much of the season telling his partner Adam about his mother and his search for that beach. The ice cream represents something Peter has been missing: a connection to normal life and happy memories.
Peter tells Mosley he plans to take time off to find balance in his life. But his reaction when Mosley mentions he has a new partner in mind shows Peter is not ready to leave the night agent world behind forever. He gets excited immediately, asking who the new partner will be .
The Isabel De Leon Connection: Romantic or Platonic?
Many viewers wondered if Peter would end up with Isabel De Leon, the journalist played by Genesis Rodriguez. The two share chemistry throughout the season, and Peter even tells Isabel she gave him someone to trust again. But their connection stays friendly.
At the end, Isabel tells Peter she is heading to Barcelona for both work and pleasure, making it clear she is moving on. She gives Peter advice about finding balance, which he takes to heart. The show leaves their relationship as a meaningful friendship rather than a romance .
Major Cast Changes in Season 3
Luciane Buchanan does not return as Rose Larkin in Season 3. The actress confirmed her exit in September 2025, telling Deadline that the writers wanted to focus on Peter’s journey without Rose. She said, “As much as that show has been so amazing, especially for my career—being a lead on a U.S. show from little New Zealand was such a whirlwind. The writers decided that they wanted to follow Peter and his journey based on what happened at the end of season two. And so, we don’t get to see what happens to Rose, but I think it’s a really exciting time for the show, and who knows, it’s not a goodbye forever” .
Several actors return for Season 3 including Louis Herthum as Jacob Monroe, Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington, Ward Horton as President Richard Hagan, and Albert Jones as Aiden Mosley. Amanda Warren also returns as Catherine Weaver, Peter’s handler, though her role takes a significant turn .
New cast members include David Lyons as Adam, a fellow night agent assigned to work with Peter. Jennifer Morrison joins as First Lady Jenny Hagan, the mastermind behind much of the political corruption. Stephen Moyer plays a mysterious hitman called “The Father” who travels with his young son. Genesis Rodriguez portrays journalist Isabel De Leon, and Suraj Sharma appears as Jay Batra, a financial analyst who uncovers the illegal transactions .
The Shocking Death That Changes Everything
One of the biggest surprises in Season 3 is the death of Catherine Weaver. Showrunner Shawn Ryan explained the creative reasons behind this decision in an interview with Deadline. He said removing Catherine pushes Peter toward greater independence, forcing him to grow without her guidance.
Ryan stated, “Peter having to do everything he does in the course of Season 3 without Catherine, without her mentorship and leadership, forces him to grow a little bit more into that role.” He also noted that Amanda Warren supported the decision, understanding how it would benefit both the show and Peter’s character arc .
What Happens to Other Characters?
Chelsea Arrington goes through major changes this season. She is now engaged to Theo and serves as Head of Security for the First Family. After she shoots a White House staffer to save Jenny Hagan’s life, Chelsea becomes suspicious that the attack was staged. Her investigation leads her to uncover the First Lady’s corruption. By the end, Theo stands by Chelsea, and a post-credits scene shows them planning their wedding .
Jay Batra starts the season as a fugitive running from people who want him dead. After helping expose the conspiracy, he ends up as a government financial analyst and appears on financial news broadcasts explaining how he uncovered the plot .
The Father, played by Stephen Moyer, gets a surprising ending. After Peter helps him see he can change, The Father tries to quit working for Freya. When Freya threatens him, he slips poison into her drink during the epilogue, freeing himself from her threats before playing football with his son .
Creator Shawn Ryan Drops Major Season 4 Clues
While Netflix has not officially renewed The Night Agent for Season 4, Shawn Ryan has already started working on what comes next. He revealed to Deadline that a writers’ room for a potential fourth season is currently underway, and he expects a renewal decision in the next couple of weeks .
Ryan shared some intriguing details about where Season 4 might take place. He said, “There’s a world that we’re in, it’s a world that exists in Los Angeles, which is the creative reason why we moved the show to Los Angeles, because it’s a world that is present in Los Angeles, it’s not present in New York for the most part.”
He clarified that the setting is not Hollywood, adding that “there’s something in the Los Angeles region that exists at a much bigger level than New York.” This leaves fans guessing what kind of conspiracy Peter might face next .
The Hagan’s Fate: Pardon and Media Deal
The season finale shows what happens to President Richard Hagan and First Lady Jenny after their crimes are exposed. A news report flashes on screen reading “Hagan pardons himself and wife ahead of senate conviction, exits White House, signs new media deal” .
Jennifer Morrison spoke to Entertainment Weekly about her character’s ending, explaining that Jenny confesses everything to Richard in the penultimate episode. Instead of exposing her, he chooses to protect her. Morrison said, “All of the shady decisions that they make after that are coming from a place of him choosing her over the presidency, truly.”
When everything falls apart, the Hagans own their crimes in a brazen way by pardoning themselves and quickly landing a media deal to maintain their reputations .
