Netflix dropped "The Night Agent" season 3 this week and put Gabriel Basso's titular character back in the field, this time to track down a treasury agent whose on the run after killing their boss. It's easily the biggest drop the streaming service has to offer this week, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it sitting high in the Netflix charts over the coming weeks.
Seeing as TG's own Malcolm McMillan said the show's latest chapter will keep you locked in in his "Night Agent" season 3 review — "while the pacing struggles at times, you'll always find yourself wanting to watch what's next" — I figure that means plenty of fans will be racing through episodes pretty quickly. And that also means viewers will likely be looking for more streaming recommendations before long.
What to watch after 'The Night Agent'
'Black Doves' (Netflix)
If you're looking to stay on Netflix, "Black Doves" is the series I'd recommend turning to first. Released in December 2024, this Christmas-set spy series follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), the wife of the U.K.'s Secretary of State for Defence. Helen is a dedicated wife and mother ... but she's also been passing on her husband's political secrets to the clandestine organization she works for, the "Black Doves."
After a decade of secrets, Helen's world is shattered when her lover is murdered, prompting her handler to call in Helen's old pal Sam (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe, and when the pair decide to look into the assassination, they stumble on a conspiracy that connects London's criminal underworld to a spiraling geopolitical crisis. "Black Doves" is intense, action-packed, and compulsive viewing, and is due to return for a second season at some point in the future — get streaming!

'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' (Prime Video)
It's been two whole years since the premiere of Prime Video's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," and it's still (in my opinion) one of the streamer's finest shows, and I've been (im)patiently awaiting its long-delayed return.
This slick, stylish reimagining of the movie of the same name sees two lonely strangers (Maya Erskine and Donald Glover) land a job working for a mysterious spy agency that offers a luxurious lifestyle (and plenty of danger). The catch? They're given new identities and paired up as a married couple, John and Jane Smith. Together, the pair navigate their complicated relationship and are tasked with executing a series of dangerous, high-risk missions. It's a real romp, one with action, high stakes, drama, and that makes the most of its likeable leads (and their great on-screen chemistry).

'Slow Horses' (Apple TV)
"Ted Lasso" was Apple TV's first must-watch series to really break through, but five seasons into "Slow Horses," I'm completely convinced that this British series has eclipsed it as Apple's best offering.
Based on Mick Herron's bestselling book series, this hilarious spy series revolves around the dysfunctional team of MI5 agents who work out of Slough House —effectively a dumping ground for spies who've made career-ending screw-ups. We watch as River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) and the rest of the "Slow Horses" crew blunder their way through high-stakes threats and unravel conspiracies, working under Slough House's fearsome (and flatulent) leader, Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman).

'The Day of the Jackal' (Peacock)
If you'd enjoy being drawn into an intense, cat-and-mouse thriller, then Ronan Bennett's "The Day of the Jackal" is the series to turn to next. This 2024 adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth book/movie of the same name modernizes that classic espionage story and reimagines it for our contemporary political climate, delivering another intense thriller that'll have you hooked.
Chiefly, the series revolves around two people: "The Jackal" (Eddie Redmayne), a world-renowned lone hitman-for-hire preparing to take out a high-profile new target, and Biana Pullman (Lashana Lynch, "No Time To Die"), a tenacious firearms expert working at MI6, who is determined to find and stop the killer at large. The show takes us across Europe and follows their chases as both figures risk everything in their respective missions.

'The Night Manager' (Prime Video)
A decade ago, the BBC and AMC brought us this critically acclaimed adaptation of John le Carré's 1993 novel, turning it into a taut six-part series that plays as a gripping 007 audition for Marvel fave, Tom Hiddleston.
Here, we met Jonathan Pine, ex-soldier-turned-night manager at a luxury Cairo hotel. Pine is recruited by a British intelligence officer to go undercover and infiltrate the inner circle of the international arms dealer, Richard Roper (played by Hugh Laurie). Years down the line, the series was renewed for two further seasons, the first of which has just aired on the BBC and Prime Video. That second season delivered even more twists and thrills, and proved that the show was worth revisiting.
