It’s been almost two full years since The Evening Agent Season 1 premiered to individuals with a Netflix subscription, however luckily followers gained’t have to attend for much longer to look at Peter Sutherland again in motion. The Evening Agent Season 2 is ready to hit the 2025 TV schedule on January 23, and whereas Gabriel Basso’s lead character will likely be joined once more by Luciane Buchanan’s Rose Larkin, they’ll largely be accompanied by new faces on this sophomore outing. That mentioned, even with just some weeks left to go and no point out of her involvement, I’m nonetheless holding out hope that Hong Chau’s Diane Farr will return in Season 2 for a redemption arc.
As White Home Chief of Workers, Diane was initially offered in Season 1 as an ally to Peter, as she was the one who recruited Peter to reply the cellphone for the Evening Motion program, and he even introduced her into the fold when he and Rose had been being pursued by assassins and realized about traitorous forces inside the US authorities. Nevertheless, it was finally revealed that Diane was a type of traitors, as she was coerced into serving to the Vice President and his allies cowl up the reality behind the Metro bombing one yr prior. Diane was decided to do no matter it took to make sure that this mess didn’t blow again onto President Michelle Travers, together with agreeing to have Peter killed.
Though there was a second the place it seemed like Rose Larkin was going to kill a gravely-injured Diane Farr as revenge for having her aunt and uncle killed, she as an alternative determined to maintain the girl alive so she might stand trial and spend the remainder of her life in jail. I’d perceive if that meant we’ll by no means see her once more, however I additionally do not forget that once more, Diane wasn’t concerned within the scheme to kill Peoples Independence Entrance chief Omar Zadar from the beginning. She was pressured into a nasty state of affairs and sadly went too far together with attempting to scrub up the mess, solely turning again as soon as President Travers was being focused.
As somebody who was a megafan of fellow motion thriller collection 24 again within the day, I keep in mind how typically outdated villains can be introduced again to assist Jack Bauer in attempting to cease no matter risk was plaguing him for one more 24-hour interval, whether or not it was out of the kindness of their coronary heart or as a part of a leniency deal. That is what I hope will occur with Diane Farr in The Evening Agent Season 2. As seen within the trailer beneath, Season 2 will observe Peter Sutherland investigating a leak within the CIA and being pressured to go AWOL after the operation he was on went dangerous. He’s been put able the place he can’t belief anybody out of worry that Evening Motion’s been compromised.
Watch On
To echo what I mentioned earlier, there’s completely nothing on this trailer to counsel that Diane Farr is linked to the nefarious forces at work this season, though I’m not ruling out that out as a chance. Although she’s now languishing in jail, maybe she was someway affiliated or crossed paths with these new villains, and now Peter requires her assist in monitoring them down. Or perhaps she merely has info from different sources that can be utilized to in Peter’s mission to carry these baddies to justice.
Regardless of the case, I might simply envision Diane Farr being briefly taken out of jail to assist Peter out. Whether or not that will be as a result of she feels regret for her actions in Season 1 or some sort of deal is organized to make jail life extra snug for her, this might permit the character to go on a redemptive journey to partially make up for previous sins. Sadly, in a present like The Evening Agent, this might probably finish with Diane being killed, however hopefully earlier than then she’ll have accomplished sufficient good to push Peter’s world mission in a extra constructive course.
We’ll discover out if that is within the playing cards or not when The Evening Agent Season 2 arrives later this month on the 2025 Netflix schedule. Followers of the collection may also take consolation figuring out that Season 3 has already been greenlit.
