Netflix’s most-awaited political crime thriller The Recruit Season 2 is now released across the World. We have to wait to see how much the second season becomes popular among the audience. Now, the new series has featured Noah Centineo, the new series sees him playing the role of Owen Hendricks, a lawyer who is thrust into a conspiracy plot involving the CIA.

The Recruit Season 2: Renewal Status 

This is just the first weekend, it’s a little too early to know whether we will have The Recruit Season 2 or not. As you may know, Netflix doesn’t publicly announce the criteria by which its series get renewed or cancelled, but there’s plenty of evidence out there on what metrics help renewal choices. 

If you’re enjoying the show and want to get it renewed, the best chances of that happening are by you watching all the way to the end and then encouraging others to do the same. 

Has any of the cast or crew talked about The Recruit Season 2 thus far? Alexi Crawley has implied that conversations have taken place or at least, a blueprint is there. All eight episodes touched down on Netflix on December 16th, 2022.

Hawley talked about his attitude going into season 1, by telling: 

“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.” 

The Recruit: Review 

Let’s break down the review scores for the show thus far : 

  • IMDb User Score: 7.6 
  • RottenTomatoes Critics Score: 75% 
  • RottenTomatoes Audience Score: 87% 
  • Metacritic: 60/100 

It’s fair to say that reviews for The Recruit have surpassed expectations (at least that I had personally) in that it’s attracting the same kind of audience that made Crawley’s network shows popular.

The Recruit Season 2: Expectations

In episode 8, titled W.T.F.I.O.H., the mission to get Max home to Russia continues, and just as things seem to be coming to a close, complications arise. It also saw the clashing of Owen’s personal and professional life. Season 1 concludes with a big twist; Karolina shoots Max but is she dead? That will undoubtedly be the cornerstone question that gets answered in The Recruit Season 2

The ending then sees Owen reaching out to Hannah to meet up abroad which concludes the series. 

The RadioTimes explains that we’ll see the return of Noah Centineo in a second season as well as Aarti Mann, Colton Dunn, and Fivel Stewart. They also predict the same as us in the sense that “Owen Hendricks would be thrown into another high-stakes mission, although this time he could be somewhat more prepared for the experience.”
