Gabriel Basso Explains Rose Larkin’s Absence in The Night Agent Season 3

Fans of Netflix’s The Night Agent noticed a major absence in Season 3: Luciane Buchanan’s Rose Larkin. While Gabriel Basso returned as Peter Sutherland, Rose did not appear in the latest episodes, leaving viewers wondering about the future of their relationship.

Why Rose Was Missing

Rose Larkin, introduced in Season 1 as Peter’s ally and love interest, became a central figure in the show’s emotional core. However, Season 3 moved forward without her, focusing instead on Peter’s new challenges. Her absence raised questions about whether the romance storyline had been permanently closed.

Gabriel Basso’s Clarification

Speaking with CinemaBlend during the Season 3 press junket, Basso reassured fans that Rose remains important to Peter. “No, I think it’s possible for her to come back. She’s still very important to Peter, and she’s still a presence in his life,” he explained. He noted that Peter continues to think about her, even in moments of reflection, suggesting that their story isn’t over. Basso added that Peter needs to figure out who he is without Rose before rekindling their relationship. This leaves the door open for her return in future seasons.

Where Things Stand After Season 2

At the end of Season 2, Peter and Rose parted ways due to the dangers surrounding his work as a Night Agent. Rose was last seen helping Noor and her mother settle into a new life in Illinois, while Peter faced arrest for infiltrating the United Nations. Their breakup was framed as a choice for safety, not a lack of love.

Season 3’s New Chapter

Season 3 closed with Peter entering a calmer phase of his life. With Jacob Monroe dead and President Hagan out of office, many of the threats that once endangered him are gone. The finale even highlighted Peter rediscovering a childhood ice cream bar, symbolizing a fresh start. This shift could pave the way for Rose’s return. If Netflix renews The Night Agent for Season 4, fans may finally see whether Peter and Rose reunite or decide to move on for good.

The Lingering Question

For now, Rose’s absence remains one of the biggest unanswered threads in the series. Basso’s comments suggest hope, but the decision ultimately rests with the show’s writers and Buchanan’s availability. Until then, viewers can only speculate about whether Peter and Rose’s love story will continue.
