Netflix fans are expressing strong discontent over the upcoming conclusion of the thriller series The Night Agent, with many demanding the return of a key character before the show ends after its fourth season. The series, which follows FBI Agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) as he uncovers a vast conspiracy involving a mole in the U.S. government, has captivated audiences since its debut. However, the absence of Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) in the third season has sparked outrage among viewers who believe her presence is essential for a satisfying finale.
Rose Larkin's Role and Absence
Rose Larkin, a former tech CEO who becomes Peter's ally and love interest, was a central figure in the first two seasons. After her family was murdered, she worked alongside Peter to expose the conspiracy. In season three, the storyline shifted, and Rose did not appear, leaving fans disappointed. Now that the show is ending, viewers are rallying for her return, arguing that her relationship with Peter is the heart of the series.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
On X (formerly Twitter), fans have voiced their demands. Monisse wrote: 'The only acceptable way to end The Night Agent is to bring Rose back to Peter. Nothing else will make the fans happy.' Giselle echoed: 'They better bring back Rose one way or another. The Night Agent cannot end without Peter and her being endgame pls!' Chantelle added: 'NOOOO, Rose better at least return for the last season. Her and Peter’s relationship made the show.'
Anji linked Rose's absence to the show's cancellation: 'To be honest I’m not surprised at all. And I haven’t read if Rose is going to come back so far. We deserve financial compensation for the emotional damage of not getting Rose Larkin. Nobody, I mean nobody, can replace Rose. She risked her life for you, Peter.'
Mixed Feelings About the Show's End
While many fans are upset about the conclusion, some believe it is timely. Paul commented: 'They are beginning to lose the plot. It’s time to wrap it up.' Tami added: 'Respect to the creators for knowing when to close the story.' Nevertheless, the demand for Rose's return remains strong.
Show's Success and Creator's Statement
The Night Agent was one of Netflix's most-watched shows last year, with 812 million hours streamed in its first season between March and June 2024. Creator Shawn Ryan expressed gratitude for the opportunity to deliver a final season, stating: 'Ever since the initial success of The Night Agent, I’ve been obsessed with eventually delivering a proper and thrilling conclusion to the show and to Peter Sutherland’s journey. I’m so grateful to Netflix and Sony Pictures Television for partnering with me and for giving us the space to deliver a definitive final season to our worldwide legion of fans. We are hard at work to complete our story and to make our final season one our fans will never forget.'
The first season of The Night Agent is currently available to stream on Netflix.
