Luciane Buchanan: Kiwi actress on her career, the success of 'The Night Agent' - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A Kiwi actress is making waves on international screens. 

Luciane Buchanan began her rise to fame in her teens, but it was the last few years where her career really took off. 

The 31 year old was cast in Netflix and Apple TV+ shows in 2022, but her lead role in Netflix’s ‘The Night Agent’ made her a household name. 

‘The Night Agent’ was the most watched show on Netflix around the world in 2023, reaching number 1 in 87 countries. 

Buchanan told Ryan Bridge that the sheer number of people watching the show kind of freaked her out, as totalled up, there’s been over 100,000 years worth of viewing for season one. 

“It’s a little bit overwhelming, but it’s also exciting to be a part of something that a lot of people enjoyed, so I can’t complain.”
