The Night Agent is veteran showrunner Shawn Ryan’s new foray into the world of streaming television. Well-known for his work on The Shield and S.W.A.T., Ryan has turned his lens higher up the rungs of government, crafting a tense political thriller with a story that reaches the Oval Office itself. The Night Agent was adapted from a book by the same title by Matthew Quirk, though Ryan has combined the idea with others he had been developing at the time he read the book, ultimately creating something new.
