Netflix has made it official. The spy drama The Recruit starring Noah Centineo has been renewed for a second season.
The renewal announcement arrived along with a short video confirming the popular series is targeting a 2024 premiere for season two. Season one debuted in December 2022 and was a fixture on the streaming service’s most popular chart for five weeks.
“I’m thrilled to dive back into the fun, funny, action-packed world of The Recruit. Seeing how invested our audience became in the show’s adventurous take on the spy world and Noah’s turn as Owen has been incredibly rewarding, and I can’t wait to turn it all up to ’11’ in Season Two,” stated creator, showrunner and executive producer Alexi Hawley.
Noah Centineo will reprise his role as Owen Hendricks. According to Netflix, the new season will pick up from last season’s cliffhanger ending that found Owen and Max captured with their lives endangered.
“I know I speak for our entire cast and executive team at eOne and Netflix when I say that we are thrilled to be returning to The Recruit for a second season. I’m looking forward to seeing what Alexi Hawley has in store for us all,” said star and executive producer Centineo.
In addition to Hawley and Centineo, season four will be executive produced by P3 Media’s Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol, and Hypnotic’s Doug Liman, Gene Klein, and David Bartis.
A Look Back at Season 1:
The series centers around Owen Hendricks (Centineo), a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job turns upside down when he discovers a threatening letter by former asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock), who plans to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. Owen quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous and often absurd world of power politics and mischievous players as he travels the world in hopes of completing his assignment and making a mark at the CIA.
Season one also starred Fivel Stewart, Vondie Curtis Hall, Kristian Bruun, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, and Daniel Quincy Annoh.
