When The Recruit first came out, it unseated Wednesday and Harry & Meghan from the top spot on Netflix's list for a little while. Because of the show's popularity, many can't help but wonder if there'll be a The Recruit Season 2.
Here's what we know about the show's future right now.
Will There Be a The Recruit Season 2?
As of this writing, the streaming giant has not yet renewed the political crime thriller for a second season. Based on reports, it seems that Netflix is pleased with the ratings and viewership of the first season. But officially, the show has not yet been renewed for a future season.
The show was created by Alexi Hawley, who has received recognition for his work in network TV such as Castle, The Following, Body of Proof, and The Rookie. In an interview with Collider, the TV writer was asked if there have been some discussions on the show's future. He said:
“I know things about where I would want to take it, and where I’d want to go with it. I mean obviously, you hope for success, but as you could see with that ending, I didn’t plan for failure because I feel like in this day and age you just have to be bold, you have to be dramatic, to the expense of everything else. And you can’t worry about Season 2’s, or Season 3’s, or beyond. You have to go, “What’s the best version of this story right now?” And trust that people will come to it. And then you’ll get another shot at it.”
What Could The Recruit Season 2 Story Be?
The Recruit follows Noah Centineo as Owen Hendricks, a lawyer working for the CIA who unearths a conspiracy plot. The ending of the first season left a major cliffhanger for viewers, who wanted to know if Karolina is still alive after getting shot by Max. And obviously, we want to know if Owen is able to escape too. So we'll have to wait until we get a season two confirmation from Netflix.
Who Will Return for The Recruit Season 2?
It's a guarantee that Noah Centineo will be back to reprise his role once a second season is ordered. But as for the rest of the cast, we can expect the following to be return:
- Aarti Mann (as Violet)
- Fivel Stewart (as Hannah)
- Colton Dunn (as Lester)
- Daniel Quincy Annoh (as Terence)
- Kristian Bruun (as Janus Ferber)
- Vondie Curtis-Hall (as Walter Nyland)
Is There a Trailer for The Recruit Season 2?
Since the show has not yet been renewed for a second season, the cast and crew has not yet started filming. This means that there is no material available yet to come up with a trailer for The Recruit Season 2.
While waiting, you can watch this On Set with Noah Centineo clip released by Netflix:
