The one unavailable location was Winfield House, the American ambassador’s actual residence
Narrative
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands in a high-profile job for which she is not suited, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future.. The producers convinced both the American & British governments to let them use real-life settings as filming locations for the series, including the still-recent American embassy (at Nine Elms) that opened in 2018. Britain allowed filming inside the foreign secretary’s office, a rarely bestowed honor for any film or screen production, especially an American one.
Featured in The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024 )
Although it’s accurately described as occupying the largest plot of residential land (11 acres) in London aside from Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes.. I binge watched The Night Agent, thought it couldn’t get much better than that, I was wrong. I loved every second of this series.
So cerebral and fascinating
Everything you could wish for in a series. The characters and acting were first class. It was so great to see the delicious Rufus Sewell again, and what a part he played, never knowing what he will get up to next.
Played it to perfection
Keri Russell was just magnificent as the ambassador. I also loved David Gyasi. All in all a wonderful series, a little short maybe, but well worth watching.
The best political show since The West Wing
Excellent!
