We chat with ShawnRyanTV, showrunner and creator of SWAT and TheShield, about bringing his new political thriller TheNightAgent to life on Netflix:
The Night Agent is Netflix’s next political thriller series, promising a twisting conspiracy, exciting action, and more. The series stars Gabriello Basso as Peter Sutherland, a low-level FBI agent, and Luciane Buchanan as Rose Larkin, a young tech CEO, who find themselves embroiled in a twisting and deadly plot. The ten-episode series was based on a book of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Matthew Quirk.
David Mamet once told me, when we are working on The Unit together, that good drama isn't a choice between good and bad; good drama is the choice between two beds. I've always taken that to heart, and I love the idea. I think about these people who wield so much power in the White House, and politically.
It's so interesting what you just said about the process, especially blending this with your own original idea. Did you work with the author as you were developing this? Shawn Ryan: Well, when a show gets picked up and you hire a casting director, the first thing is you just get a list of all these names. They're broken down into the offer-only people... and listen, I've done shows where we've hired offer-only people and it's worked out really well, and it's great, and the actor's a great match for the character.
And then, in the next biggest role, we hire Hong Chau, and who knows she's going to get nominated for an Oscar after we film? And SAG Awards. Shes' just having an incredible moment. People see The Whale and The Menu, her guest star in Poker Face, and now they're going to see her in this. And she's different in all four. It's sort of casting kismet with these three actors.
