Netflix's The Night Agent Season 3 explores the dark side of finance and its ties to terrorism and political corruption, reaching the White House. The season confirms that President Richard Hagan (Ward Horton) is controlled by shady intelligence broker Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum), with the First Lady (Jennifer Morrison) having made a deal with Monroe during the campaign.
Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) is tasked with tracking down Jay (Suraj Sharma), a Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul after killing his boss. Peter investigates a dark money network with journalist Isabel (Genesis Rodriguez). Monroe also seeks Jay, and a planned FBI operation goes wrong when Monroe uses a decoy car rigged with explosives, killing Peter's boss Catherine (Amanda Warren) early in the season.
Peter and Isabel evade assassins sent by the banker servicing the dark money network, including the mysterious Father (Stephen Moyer) and Adam (David Lyons), an old army buddy of the President. Adam kills Monroe after he agrees to cooperate with the FBI. It is revealed that Isabel is Monroe's estranged daughter.
Creator Shawn Ryan explained that Catherine's death was intended to force Peter's evolution as a night agent, pushing him to step into a leadership role without her mentorship. The season also sets up potential fourth season clues, including a new partner for Peter and a Los Angeles setting, though the season has not yet been ordered.
