10 Thrillers To Binge If You Loved ‘The Night Agent’ On Netflix

Black Doves

Set during Christmas time in London, Black Doves follows Keira Knightley as a politician’s wife who secretly works as a sleeper agent. When her lover is murdered, she jumps back into the spy world to find out who’s behind it. She teams up with a deadly but oddly charming assassin played by Ben Whishaw, and the two leave a trail of chaos as they chase answers.

Rogue Heroes

Rogue Heroes isn’t set in modern times, but it still has the wild, adrenaline-filled energy Night Agent fans love. Created by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight, the story follows the creation of the British SAS during World War II. A group of young soldiers is pushed into becoming daring, behind-enemy-lines operatives.

Bodyguard

If you want another fast, gripping political thriller, Bodyguard is a perfect follow-up to The Night Agent. Richard Madden stars as David Budd, a war veteran turned protection officer who saves a train from a suicide bomber and is then assigned to guard a high-profile Home Secretary. With only six episodes, the show moves at full speed and Madden’s intense performance makes it even more addictive.

Slow Horses

Slow Horses puts a funny, refreshing twist on the spy genre. Instead of glamorous agents, we follow MI5 rejects; people who’ve messed up badly enough to get dumped into a dull office called Slough House. Their boss, played brilliantly by Gary Oldman, is rude, messy, and somehow still one of the smartest people on screen. Even though this team is considered “the leftovers,” they constantly stumble into real spy missions and dangerous situations.

Designated Survivor

Designated Survivor begins with an explosive premise: after a devastating attack wipes out nearly the entire U.S. government, low-ranking cabinet member Tom Kirkman is suddenly sworn in as President. Played by Kiefer Sutherland, Kirkman must uncover who orchestrated the bombing while proving he’s capable of leading a shaken nation.

Lupin

Lupin brings a fun, stylish twist to the “clear your father’s name” storyline. Omar Sy stars as Assane Diop, a modern-day gentleman thief inspired by the classic character Arsène Lupin. Years after his father was framed by a rich and powerful family, Assane uses clever disguises, daring heists, and smart planning to get revenge.

The Agency

If you enjoy spy shows with messy personal twists, The Agency is an easy pick. Michael Fassbender plays a CIA officer based in London whose life gets complicated when a woman from his six-year undercover mission suddenly reappears. She isn’t just anyone, she’s someone he fell in love with while working deep cover in Africa. Her arrival throws his work and his emotions into chaos.

The Diplomat

While it’s less of a spy thriller than The Night Agent, The Diplomat delivers plenty of political tension and messy personal drama. Keri Russell stars as an American diplomat navigating tricky alliances, unexpected crises, and a marriage under a lot of pressure. Season 2 especially ramps things up, helped by standout performances like Allison Janney as the U.S. Vice President.

Homeland

Homeland is perfect if you want a longer, more character-driven thriller. Claire Danes plays Carrie Mathison, a brilliant but struggling CIA officer dealing with bipolar disorder while handling major terrorist threats. Her mentor Saul Berenson, played by Mandy Patinkin, brings emotional depth and a steady presence as the two work through complicated missions around the world.

The Shield

Before The Night Agent, Shawn Ryan created The Shield, a raw and intense police drama about corruption inside a special LAPD unit. Michael Chiklis plays Vic Mackey, a detective who delivers results but bends every rule along the way. He’s one of TV’s most unforgettable anti-heroes; tough, complicated, and constantly crossing lines.
