Gabriel Basso, known for his role in Netflix’s “The Night Agent,” has secured a major role in an upcoming film on the streaming service. The film, directed by Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow, will focus on White House officials managing the immediate danger of a missile attack on the United States in real time. The cast includes Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson as the leads, with Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris recently joining the project.
Netflix has recently announced four cast members for an upcoming movie directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Additional details such as the title and production timeline are yet to be revealed. This announcement marks Bigelow’s first movie since her 2017 film “Detroit”. The news was initially disclosed at Netflix’s upfront presentation in May, which included several new content announcements.
Basso’s upcoming movie role on Netflix has been announced even before he wraps up work on “The Night Agent” season 2 in June. Netflix has expedited the production of the second season of the popular series following the resolution of last year’s strikes. The release date for season 2 is expected later this year, and Netflix has confirmed that it will be in 2024.
In the forthcoming second season, Peter will embark on his inaugural mission as an official Night Agent. The season will introduce new cast members such as Amanda Warren, Brittany Snow, Michael Malarkey, Teddy Sears, and Rob Heaps. Notably, Luciane Buchanan will reprise her role as Peter’s girlfriend Rose Larkin. How her character will integrate into the new mission remains to be seen, given her significant role in the first season’s narrative.
In addition to his role in “The Night Agent” season 2 and Kathryn Bigelow’s upcoming project, Gabriel Basso also stars alongside Jessica Alba in the action thriller film “Trigger Warning” on Netflix. Basso recently appeared in a supporting role in the horror film “The Strangers: Chapter 1” and is set to feature in Clint Eastwood’s forthcoming thriller “Juror No. 2,” which also stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Zoey Deutch, and Kiefer Sutherland.
It’s evident that Basso is in high demand for action and thriller roles, as evidenced by his involvement in these projects. After the success of “The Night Agent” on Netflix, it’s exciting to witness Basso expanding his portfolio with diverse and compelling roles. Despite his early start in the industry, Basso has proven himself to be one of the most accomplished and deserving emerging talents. Audiences can anticipate his performances in “The Night Agent” season 2, Bigelow’s film, and beyond.
