Netflix is known for churning out one streaming sensation after another, and in 2023, the juggernaut platform released the pulse-pounding action thriller The Night Agent, an adaptation of the Matthew Quirk novel that follows the strong and ambitious FBI agent Peter Sutherland as he becomes swept up in a deadly conspiracy after discovering that there is a mole high up in the American government. Sutherland makes it his mission to hunt down the culprit and protect his country, all the while helping keep an innocent tech CEO safe from the crossfire.

The second season of The Night Agent is slated to make its epic premiere on January 23, 2025, with the exhilarating series being favorably compared to the Prime Video smash hit Reacher and its equally formidable hero, Jack Reacher.

The Night Agent was a major success on Netflix when it premiered in 2023. Ahead of the highly anticipated Season 2, fans are already getting up to speed with the high-octane thriller.

Per Netflix, The Night Agent is now back on the charts ahead of the new season premiering next week. Season 1 added 2.3 million views this week, debuting in the 10th spot in the global charts after spending 12 weeks in the Top 10. At the same time, the first season defended its title on Netflix's Most Popular TV list, where it sits in the seventh spot with 98.2 million views.

However, their latest batch of films coming this Fall may surprise you in more ways than one, and they've released a teaser trailer for their Fall true crime event which you can watch below:

A total of seven films under Lifetime's "Ripped from the Headlines" series will be hitting Lifetime every Saturday throughout September and October, with one film in particular marking an especially grandiose occasion: the airing of Lifetime's 500th original movie.
