Fans of The Recruit are in for a wild ride as Noah Centineo returns as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks for Season 2, premiering January 30 on Netflix. With more action, higher stakes, and deeper character growth, this season promises to be a thrill-packed follow-up to the hit debut season.
Owen’s Journey: From Rookie to Survivor
Owen Hendricks, a fresh-out-of-law-school recruit, found himself way in over his head when he stumbled into a high-stakes CIA blackmail case. The first season followed his chaotic crash course in espionage, with kidnappings, torture, and near-death experiences becoming his new normal.
So how does Owen change in Season 2? Centineo explains: "As opposed to [the first season where he] just stumbles around and then almost gets killed, in the second season, he actually learns how to fight back and leverage his position against other people. So the second season is also far more action packed."
Bigger Action, Higher Stakes, and More Humor
If you thought Season 1 was intense, buckle up—because the new season takes things up a notch. "It’s like in Season 1, you light the fuse. In Season 2—boom!" says Centineo.
With more fight sequences, higher-stakes missions, and a faster pace, the show leans into what fans loved the first time around. Plus, the comedic elements remain strong, with fan-favorite character Yannis (played by Christian Brune) getting an expanded arc.
What’s Next for The Recruit?
With the high-energy second season ready to drop, fans are already wondering—will there be a Season 3? Centineo stays coy: "That’s up to all of you out there…"
