Netflix’s Top 10 Most-Watched Show Is Returning Soon After an 86% Rotten Tomatoes Thriller Season
Since Netflix was launched, a major portion of its success has always been credited to the company's ability to allow customers to view licensed content. While Netflix users love watching films and shows produced by the major movie studios and TV networks, it has long been clear that the company's most talked-about offerings tend to be its original content.
In the coming weeks, the streaming service is set to celebrate a major milestone following what should be a huge release for the company. That is the case because one of the most successful and discussed TV shows ever to be available to stream on Netflix is set to return for a new season.

On December 4th, 2025, Netflix's official website published an article focused on the upcoming return of its extremely popular action thriller TV series. That article stated that the third season of The Night Agent will premiere on February 19, 2026. According to IMDb's listing for The Night Agent, the third season will consist of 10 episodes that will all premiere on that date. That makes sense since the show's 1st and 2nd seasons both consisted of 10 episodes that were all released on the same day, on March 23, 2023, and January 23, 2025, respectively.
As part of the aforementioned article on Netflix's official website, the company teased what viewers can expect from the upcoming third season. The article quotes the show's creator, executive producer, and showrunner, Shawn Ryan, who stated season 3 will be “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride across Istanbul, Mexico City, Washington, New York, and the Dominican Republic.” Ryan also described what The Night Agent's main character, Peter Sutherland, will grapple with during the upcoming episodes.
“Peter grapples with a dangerous conspiracy at the heart of the White House, a dogged reporter with a hot tip and a murky past, a murder suspect trying to clear his name, a mysterious father and son leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, old friends in danger, a collection of familiar and new foes, and a new partner who could be his salvation — or his doom.”
'The Night Agent' Is One of Netflix’s Top 10 Most-Watched TV Shows Ever, and It Earned an 86% Rotten Tomatoes Score
On Netflix's official website, the company maintains a listing of the most-watched shows in its history, ranked by single seasons. As of the time of this writing, that list states that the first season of The Night Agent is the 9th most-watched TV chapter in Netflix history.

On top of being watched for millions of hours, The Night Agent has also garnered impressive scores on Rotten Tomatoes. As of the time of this writing, The Night Agent season 2 has an 86% score, season 1 has a 75% score, and the show's first two seasons have a 80% combined score.
