Netflix has finally set a premiere date for season two of The Recruit starring Noah Centineo. Season one premiered way back in December 2022. Season two has landed on a January 30, 2025 launch date.
In addition to Noah Centineo, season two will star Teo Yoo, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, and Kristian Bruun. Kaylah Zander, Maddie Hasson, Angel Parker and Vondie Curtis-Hall also star, along with Young-Ah Kim, Felix Solis, James Purefoy, Do Hyun Shin, Sanghee Lee, and Omar Maskati. Rounding out the ensemble are Brooke Smith, Devika Bhise, Alana Hawley Purvis, Daniel Quincy Annoh, Jesse Collin, and Nathan Fillion.
“Season two of The Recruit finds CIA Lawyer, Owen Hendricks (Centineo), pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
Alexi Hawley created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Centineo, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David Bartis, Adam Ciralsky, Charlie Ebersol, and Julian Holmes. Holmes, Hawley, Jessica Yu, Viet Nguyen, and John Hyams directed season two episodes.
“Owen rolls into this season basically screwed. Owen knows that if he does not walk away with a win this season, his career is going to be over. He might go to prison,” said Hawley. “Depending on what people are into, they can show up this season for the big, flashy, splashy action stuff, but they can also be on a journey with this guy who’s just trying to fix something that he broke.”
Commenting on the new season, Centineo said, “Owen’s headspace is complete chaos. He has just witnessed Max — the former CIA asset whom he almost died multiple times trying to protect — get shot by her daughter Nichka. Owen is wondering how in the hell he is going to survive the next few seconds of his life.”
