# Fire, Explosions, Water, and Deer: The VFX of 'The Night Agent' Season 3

_General · published 2026-06-12_

VFX supervisor Chad Wanstreet joins the befores & afters podcast to walk through the visual effects work behind season 3 of Netflix's The Night Agent. Among the highlights: a house fire sequence achieved entirely without practical fire, a truck plunging into water followed by an underwater fight, and two explosion set-pieces — including the opening missile strike on a plane and a later blast that kills a key character.

Wanstreet also discusses a pair of so-called invisible effects sequences involving a helicopter and a deer, the kind of unsung work that keeps audiences immersed without ever drawing attention to itself. A VFX breakdown reel accompanies the episode.
