The Night Agent is headed to Netflix. The new thriller is based on the 2019 novel by Matthew Quirk, and Shawn Ryan (SWAT) will act as showrunner for the 10-episode series. He adapted the book for the screen after reading it in lockdown last year.

Deadline revealed the following about The Night Agent:

“Inspired by Quirk’s novel,  The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.”

Netflix will announce the cast and premiere date for the series at a later time.
