Netflix's Great CIA Action Series THE RECRUIT Gets a Season 2 Order

I was pretty impressed with Netflix’s new CIA action series The Recruit. It was a lot more entertaining than I expected it to be. I also don’t normally care for the kind of projects that series star Noah Centineo is a part of, but he was fantastic in this show, and he plays a fun and interesting character.

I’m happy to report that Netflix has picked up the show for a second season! Series creator, showrunner and executive producer Alexi Hawley in a statement: “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.”

Centineo, who will also return as an executive producer, added: “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 Centineo, who will also return as an executive producer.

The first season of the series follows “CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks (Centineo), 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 reveal the agency’s secrets to the world unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. Owen is quickly thrown into a dangerous (and sometimes ridiculous) world of high-power politics and players as he aims to complete his assignment and make his mark at the CIA.”

The series also stars Fivel Stewart, Vondie Curtis Hall, Kristian Bruun, Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn and Daniel Quincy Annoh.
