Shocking Departure: 'The Night Agent' Season 3's Surprising Twist with Rose!

The Night Agent surprised viewers with Luciane Buchanan's unexpected exit. During season 3, Rose (Buchanan) did not appear following her offscreen split from Peter (Gabriel Basso). She took a new job in California as they prioritized their careers over their relationship.

Creator Shawn Ryan discussed the decision not to bring Rose back in season 3. The writers explored a Peter-Rose-centric story but ultimately decided to proceed without her. Ryan expressed his fondness for Luciane and left open the possibility of Rose returning in the future.

Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent revolves around FBI agent Peter investigating a conspiracy within the U.S. government. The show became the third most-watched debut series on Netflix, leading to a swift renewal after its release.

Fola Evans-Akingbola returned as Chelsea for season 3 after missing the previous season. Ryan emphasized that characters in the show don't always follow traditional TV patterns of appearing and disappearing based on the storyline.

Over the years, various TV stars have left their roles abruptly or been written out without warning. Anna Faris, for example, announced her departure from CBS' Mom in 2020 after playing the lead character.

Ryan recounted informing Evans-Akingbola about her absence in season 2 and expressed regret over the decision. However, he later found a way to include her in a cameo and confirmed her return for season 3. The Night Agent can be streamed on Netflix.
