Netflix has been around long enough to build a strong lineup of flagship titles, and one of its most prominent series is The Night Agent. The show has often been described as Netflix’s counterpart to Reacher, the popular Prime Video series led by towering action star Alan Ritchson. While Reacher and The Night Agent aren’t identical, fans of one are very likely to enjoy what the other brings to the table. Reacher centers on a former military operative who frequently ends up in situations where his skills come in handy, while The Night Agent focuses on a CIA operative caught up in a web of government conspiracies. Both series lean heavily into action and suspense, which helps explain why they’ve each found strong audiences across their early seasons.
Things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing for The Night Agent since its Season 1 premiere back in 2023. The show has experienced a steady decline in viewership through each of its first three seasons, but it’s still doing well enough to earn a Season 4 renewal. Fans are speculating that Season 4 could be the end of The Night Agent, but this likely won’t be confirmed until after Season 4 makes its long-awaited premiere, which is expected next year. The Season 1 premiere of The Night Agent earned enough views to land a spot in the all-time Netflix top 10 for TV shows, but thanks to the premiere of His & Hers (starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal) earlier this year, it has officially lost its spot. This is yet another setback for The Night Agent ahead of Season 4 that could affect the show’s chances of a Season 5.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
What Is ‘The Night Agent’ About?
The official synopsis for The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso and created by Shawn Ryan, reads as follows:
“Low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night it does, propelling him into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office.”
The Night Agent star Gabriel Basso has further strengthened his relationship with Netflix, even appearing in one of the streamer’s biggest movies of 2025, A House of Dynamite, which also stars Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson.
Check out the first three seasons of The Night Agent on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 4.
