It certainly looks like Netflix has a new hit show on its hands, as The Night Agent was viewed for more than 168.7 million hours, per the streaming service's weekly Top 10 list. That number is the second highest viewing time for any show on Netflix to date in 2023.
The Night Agent is based on a novel of the same name from author Matthew Quirk, about a low-level FBI agent who works nights in the basement of the White House manning a phone line for undercover spies that never rings. But one day, it does, setting into motion a chain of events that reveals a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the Oval Office. The show was created by Shawn Ryan and stars Gabriel Basso, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Eve Harlow, D.B. Woodside, Enrique Murciano and Oscar-nominee Hong Chau. The 10 episode season is available to watch in its entirety right now on Netflix.
