Netflix has quickly handed out a second-season renewal order for the spy drama “The Recruit” starring Noah Centineo (“Black Adam,” “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”).
Centineo plays Owen Hendricks, a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job is turned 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.
Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, Fivel Stewart, Daniel Quincy Annoh, Kristian Bruun, Vondie Curtis Hall, Byron Mann, Angel Parker, and Kaylah Zander co-star.
The series, which hails from “The Rookie” creator Alexi Hawley who serves as showrunner and executive producer, spent five weeks on Netflix’s global top 10 following its debut on December 16th along with making the charts of the service in 88 countries worldwide.
Hawley says 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, Doug Liman, Gene Klein, David Bartis, Adam Ciralsky and Charlie Ebersol executive produce. No word on a potential air date as yet.
