Netflix Renews THE RECRUIT

Netflix has ordered a second season of THE RECRUIT.

“I’m thrilled to dive back into the fun, funny, action-packed world of THE RECRUIT,” showrunner Alexi Hawley said in a statement. “Seeing how invested our audience became in the show’s adventurous take on the spy world and Noah [Centineo]’s turn as Owen has been incredibly rewarding, and I can’t wait to turn it all up to ’11’ in season 2.” 

Added Centineo: “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.”

According to the streamer, “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. The series also starred Fivel Stewart, Vondie Curtis Hall, Kristian Bruun, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn and Daniel Quincy Annoh.”

After the season debuted, Hawley told Give Me My Remote a possible season 2 would “definitely have to pick up right where you left off. I think the joy of the show is that the first season takes place over two weeks, maybe? And so he’s still brand new. I think a time jump, a big time jump, would sort of undercut the fact that he’s been through a ton of s—, but he’s still doesn’t have time to process it before, in theory, you throw him right back into the well with a new greymail coming in or something like that.”
