Kari Matchett Joins Netflix’s ‘The Night Agent’

According to the Deadline Covert Affairs alumna Kari Matchett is set for a heavily recurring role in Netflix’s political conspiracy thriller series The Night Agent, based on Matthew McQuirk’s bestseller. Created by Shawn Ryan, based on the novel, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.

Matchett will portray the President. Matchett starred for five seasons on USA Network’s Covert Affairs. Her most recent TV credits include recurring roles on A Million Little Things, Supergirl and Charmed. She’s repped by The Characters Talent Agency and Alchemy Entertainment.
