Netflix’s hit series The Night Agent is back for its second season, but despite starring in one of the biggest shows around, Gabriel Basso has said he ‘could quit acting’.

Basso stars in the show as the titular Night Agent, an operative whose only job is to man an emergency phone for the FBI.

The first season was one of the biggest of 2023 on Netflix, and the second season came out today, Thursday January 23^rd.

Check out the trailer for season two.

Basso opened up about the possibility that he may leave acting behind soon in a recent interview with Variety, with the show’s creator adding fuel to the fire.

Despite Variety describing him as a potential ‘movie star’, they said he expressed a desire to leave the limelight.

Creator of The Night Agent, said: “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the first thing he did after Season 1 finished filming was go to Tennessee and get a stonemason’s license.

“Other actors would have been dialing their publicist. He likes to do the work more than talk about the work.

“I’ll be curious how your interview goes with him, because I don’t think talking to the press is his favourite thing to do.”

Basso said in the interview: “The actors that built this business all had life experiences.

“They all fought in the war. They were all doing stuff outside of this.

“And to me, how can you as an actor portray real events insulated from reality? You literally can’t do it.”

Despite this uncertainty from its lead actor, season two of the show has been just as well received as season one, if not better.

Season one received a Rotten Tomatoes score of 74%, while season two currently sits at 89% after 9 reviews.

Kaiya Shuntaya of RogerEbert.com said: “The stakes in The Night Agent finally feel palpable; because of this, the series has reached its potential as thrilling and well-written action.”

CBR’s Brittany Fredrick said in their 9/10 review: “Showrunner Shawn Ryan and his creative team do the expected scaling up of the series’ plot, but never lose sight of the story elements and characters that made the program a runaway hit in the first place.”

Meanwhile, Nick Bythrow of ScreenRant said in their review: “The Night Agent season 2 provides a carefully-crafted thriller beyond the events of its source material, entertaining despite a shaky story.”

The Night Agent season two is available to watch on Netflix now.

If you’re partial to a slasher film and enjoy watching Jenna Ortega on screen, why not kill two birds with one stone and stick on the horror film she starred in that boasts a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score?

The actress is only 21-years-old but has already displayed some serious acting range so far – she cracked the industry as a kid and has now ditched her squeaky clean image for something a bit more…scary.

The Wednesday star is now an established scream queen thanks to all of the chilling roles she has taken on over the last few years, but the 2022 horror she starred in really managed to spook viewers.

Take a look at the trailer here:

Ortega really pushed the envelope with her acting in the horror movie, titled X, while starring alongside the likes of Brittany Snow, Mia Goth, Kid Cudi and Martin Henderson.

The plot isn’t just gruesome either – it’s quite graphic, to put it mildly.

The flick, which was written, directed, produced and edited by Ti West, follows the journey of a group of young filmmakers who set out to make an X-rated adult film at a property in rural Texas under the noses of their elderly hosts.

But this is a slasher film, so of course, they don’t just make a porno, pack their bags and head home.

The group’s saucy scenes end up getting interrupted and they find themselves having to fight for their lives while trying to work out why everyone is suddenly turning up dead.

Fans went wild for X when it was first released and it has recently had a resurgence of love online following Ortega’s controversial role in Miller’s Girl.

Her character in the horror film, Lorraine, is one of the more demure people in the group who initially works behind the scenes of the porn production, rather than getting her kit off.

But she grows increasingly intrigued by the concept of making an adult film and later ends up deciding to join in – seeing her get it on with her co-star Kid Cudi who plays Jackson Hole.

He was 37 at the time, which is an age gap which has raised eyebrows among some people – similarly to the controversy surrounding her intimate scenes with Martin Freeman in Miller’s Girl.

But Ortega said she had a blast filming X, explaining that she ‘loved’ how her character ‘flipped the script mid-film’.

She explained that she ‘had a lot of faith’ in everyone involved in the project, as well as in the script itself.

The Scream actress added: “I had never read anything like it before, and that was super-enticing to me.”

Those brave enough to stick X on the telly have heaped praise on the horror film as well as the entire production of it.

One said: “Good direction, good acting performances, great locations. I enjoyed it, I love it.”

While another wrote: “This is the best feature film I have ever seen.”

A third added: “Love this movie, great use of old fashioned slasher tension with an entertaining story.”

And a fourth commented: “Very terrifying and great performances.”

But if those reviews don’t convince you, just check out it’s Rotten Tomatoes score which is sitting pretty at 94 percent.

Jenna Ortega has opened up on the moment Cameron Boyce stopped an intimate joint audition.

While out promoting her new film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Ortega, 21, said the pair knew each other from when she was about ’11 or 12′ through their roles on the Disney Channel.

While Ortega rose to fame in Bizaardvark alongside Jake Paul, Boyce also starred in Jessie and Descendants.

During an interview with co-stars Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara for Canal+, the actor revealed: “The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce – I’d known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss and he knew me since I was 11 or 12.

“This is a few years later, 15, 16, [we] came in, we were supposed to be love interests.

“But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like – we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, ‘No, we can’t do this.’”

Ortega added: “He was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time in the audition. And then, we wished each other well.

“I remember being really thankful and grateful that he did that.”

Commenting on the interview, one fan said: “He really was such a gentleman – a very sad loss to the world.”

Another added: “That’s a really sweet memory of Cameron.”

A third wrote: “He was so rare, him being gone hits every single day.”

Boyce was found unconscious at his home in North Hollywood on 6 July, 2019.

His family said at the time that he had suffered a seizure as a result of ‘an ongoing medical condition’, confirming days later he had epilepsy.

His parents, Libby and Victor, were unaware that the condition could cause fatal seizures, known as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).

His mum told The Independent: “It is the number one neurological disease and we don’t talk about it. People, for some reason, don’t feel free to discuss their diagnosis. There’s just not enough awareness and there’s not enough education for those people who are newly diagnosed.

“One in 26 people have epilepsy. Everybody knows somebody who has epilepsy, yet we never talked about it.”

Jenna Ortega has revealed the reason why she don’t plan on talking about her romantic relationships with the media.

Today (27 September) Ortega celebrates her 22nd birthday which may surprise you, given the fact that she’s appeared in multiple high profile films and TV shows at such a young age.

While she may be widely known for her role as Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series, Ortega also has a stellar resume as a ‘scream queen’ due to her appearance in horror films such as X and various instalments of the Scream franchise.

However as her celebrity status rises, there is one thing the actress is determined to keep private – her love life.

Speaking in an interview with Vanity Fair last month, the actress explained why she doesn’t feel the need to discuss her romantic relationships publicly.

“I don’t plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that’s mine,” she said.

Aside from a desire to hang on to some privacy in her life, Ortega added that she believed knowing too much about an actor can detract from their work on-screen.

“When you know too much about someone’s personal life, then you watch films and you can only see them [who they are off-screen rather than the character they’re playing],” she added.

“There’s nothing worse.”

Ortega later went on to call being famous ‘absolutely ridiculous’ and revealed that she’d found the increased media attention from the past year ‘very dissociative and alien and out-of-body’.

Despite only being in her early twenties, Ortega has already enjoyed a long career in Hollywood, with her first role being in CSI: NY and short-lived CBS sitcom Rob at the age of 10.

Experiencing fame from a young age is likely to have influenced how the actress navigates the relationships in her life, with VF noting that Ortega understands why celebrities chose to date other celebrities due to a shared experience of fame.

Ortega is currently back at Nevermore Academy filming for the second season of Wednesday alongside co-stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

There is no set release date for Wednesday season two, however it is currently expected to land on our screens at some point next year.

Meanwhile Ortega’s recent role in the highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel was a massive hit among fans and critics.

At one point Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was even ranked higher than the 1988 original on film aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, however the sequel has since dipped below and currently sits on a score of 77 percent.
