The only location not available was Winfield House, the actual residence of the American ambassador
Synopsis
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, ends up getting a high-profile job for which she is ill-suited, with tectonic implications for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced both the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life settings as filming locations for the series, including the still-new American embassy (in Nine Elms) which opened in 2018. Britain allowed filming inside the Foreign Secretary’s office, an honor rarely bestowed on any film or movie production, especially an American one.
Appeared in The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024)
Although it is accurately described as occupying the largest plot of residential land (11 acres) in London apart from Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes. I watched The Night Agent non-stop, I thought it couldn’t get much better than this, I was wrong. I loved every second of this show.
So cerebral and charming
Everything you could want in a show. The characters and acting were first rate. It was great to see the delightful Rufus Sewell again, and what a part he played, never knowing what he was going to do next.
She played her to perfection
Keri Russell was just magnificent as the ambassador. I also loved David Gyasi. All in all a wonderful show, maybe a little short, but worth a watch.
Best political show since The West Wing
Excellent!
