Gabriel Basso Hopes Peter Sutherland Dies At Some Point In The Night Agent

Peter Sutherland survived many attempted murders in Season 1 of "The Night Agent," and with it quickly being renewed for a Season 2, we can expect the show to continue with what made it popular: intriguing conspiracies, bomb plots, and increasingly blurred lines over who's good and who's bad. But for Gabriel Basso, who portrays the do-gooder Sutherland, his personality and morals may eventually cause his own downfall.

"Peter has his values and his objective is sort of good put over the subjective good," he told Us Weekly. "And that sort of thinking, if he keeps that, he's not gonna stay alive and work in espionage and stuff. So I think it's a natural sort of arc for him to put himself in the crosshairs of somebody that thinks a lot like politicians think."

While the Netflix series was based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, it's unknown what direction Sutherland could take in the future, as the book isn't part of a series. Perhaps Quirk, after seeing the enthusiasm around "The Night Agent," will continue Sutherland's story, or perhaps Shawn Ryan, who adapted the story into a series, will continue with the FBI agent's story on his own. But if the success of the series tells us anything, it's that Peter Sutherland likely won't be dying anytime soon.
